Field ready DFIR device that emulates USB storage and USB CD-ROM, carries live acquisition tools (KAPE, Magnet RAM Capture), and can boot trusted OS images like Kali Linux and Hiren’s for live acquisition. Control it from a built-in web console or the on-device e-ink touch display. Offensive mode supports Rubber Ducky payloads and the Bjorn project.
Windows & Linux support • Built-in Web Console • Offline capable
HIKARI is a field ready DFIR companion that travels like a thumb-drive but works like a tiny toolkit. It can present itself as USB Mass Storage or USB CD-ROM, so you can deliver tools to a live system or boot trusted images for acquisition, all without installing anything on the target.
Control HIKARI from the on-device e-ink touch display or the web console (control-only). To add content, mount HIKARI as USB Storage on your workstation and copy ISOs and tools into the provided folders (e.g., /isos/, /tools/). Then assign a slot and switch modes to present them.

No. The web console is for control only (modes, slots, logs). To add content, mount HIKARI as USB Storage on your workstation and copy files into the designated folders, then switch modes/present.
Copy the tool folders onto HIKARI while in USB Storage mode (e.g., into /tools/). On the target, present the storage and run tools from there.
We support those distributions as user-provided ISOs. Place them into /isos/ while in USB Storage mode, then assign a slot and switch to USB CD-ROM to present.
Only with explicit authorization (red-team, penetration testing, or lab use). You are responsible for compliance with applicable laws and policies.
