The '''Open Computer Forensics Architecture''' (OCFA) is a [[distributed computing|distributed]] [[open-source software|open-source]] [[computer forensics]] framework used to analyze [[digital media]] within a digital forensics laboratory environment. The framework was built by the [[Netherlands|Dutch]] national police.<br />
<br />
The software was last updated in 2015.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2015-05-03 |title=Open Computer Forensics Architecture |url=https://sourceforge.net/projects/ocfa/ |access-date=2025-09-23 |website=sitename |language=en}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Architecture==<br />
OCFA consists of a [[Front and back ends|back end]] for the [[Linux]] platform, it uses a [[PostgreSQL]] database for data storage, a custom [[Content-addressable storage]] or CarvFS based data repository, and a [[Lucene]] index. The [[front end processor (program)|front end]] for OCFA has not been made publicly available due to licensing issues.<br />
<br />
The framework integrates with other open source forensic tools and includes modules for [[The Sleuth Kit]], Scalpel, Photorec, libmagic, [[GNU Privacy Guard]], [[objdump]], exiftags, zip, [[7-zip]], [[tar (computing)|tar]], [[gzip]], [[bzip2]], [[RAR (file format)|rar]], [[antiword]], qemu-img, and mbx2mbox. OCFA is extensible in [[C++]] or [[Java (programming language)|Java]].<br />
