Today, I am releasing Version 1.0 of Case_Notes.py - A cross-platform (Windows, macOS, & Linux) python script to help make the case documentation process easier.
Some of the main features:
Easy to install and use.
Lightweight - easy on CPU and memory resources.
Automatic OS detection.
Ability to take selective screenshots for case documentation.
Log file contains notes entries prepended with date/time stamps in UTC or Local Time format.
Case_Notes.py was originally designed to expedite the documentation process of a digital forensic examinations. However, this tool could also be used in:
Open Source Intelligence (OSINT) investigations.
Social Media Intelligence (SOCMINT) investigations.
Notes during penetration tests.
Capture the Flag (CTF) events.
General note taking.
And so much more!
The latest version of this tool can be found here:

In the next blog post, I will be sharing information about setting up and staging a DFIR kit. Stay tuned for more information.
Last but certainly not least, I want to publicly acknowledge Alexis Brignoni (@[email protected]) for his willingness to help me along on my Python journey. He helped review my code and offered of his time and talents. He also has a wealth of information on his blog https://abrignoni.blogspot.com.
