BelkaScript: Scripting module

Evidence Center allows you to extend the product with your custom functionality. This can be done with BelkaScript - optional module which supports writing, debugging and running custom scripts.

Simple to start

The product comes with a number of sample scripts to show available functionality and to help you jump-start with creating your own scripts. You can inspect these scripts in the BelkaScript subfolder of the product installation folder.

Simple to develop

The product sports convenient user interface for scripts creation. Particularly, it has syntax highlighting, autocomplete, error window and so on.

BelkaScript uses simplified C# language. Particularly,

You do not have to write "usings".
You do not have add references to third-party libraries (all needed libraries are referenced automatically).
You do not have to create solution and project files.
The script is contained inside a single file.
You also do not have to create classes.
While you can create multiple functions in a script, in most situations you will have to write only code for the main function (public void Main).

Simple to debug

BelkaScript user interface allows you to conveniently debug your script:

You can run script step by step using Step Into and Step Over buttons.
You can create breakpoints and run execution until a breakpoint is hit.
While the execution is stopped, you can review all current variables values.
You can trace debug information to Output window.

Power of custom extensions

Below are some examples of how you can do with the help of BelkaScript:

Run carving for custom header or header/footer against any data source in case.
Process already extracted items. For example, find pictures with given EXIF metadata properties.
Create reports for custom set of items.
Do custom searches.
Find all browser cookies for yesterday.
and so on.
