π .AFF file specification is oriented onto the disk images created in the Advanced Forensics Format (AFF) layout, an open based entry definition employed to sustain and capture digital, electronic evidence for legal court proceedings. Precisely, the .AFF schema is able to store and manage both arbitrary metadata and raw disk data within a single common file object. In general, the .AFF standard is compliant with two peculiar types of compression algorithms, LZMA and zlib. As a matter of fact, the pinpoint .AFF entry can be divided into a distinctive, separated archive of multiple file items that are built on the basis of .AFD technical schema. Advanced Forensics Format program solutions are able capable of extracting metadata from the virtual disk image and hold it individually in a discrete .AFM sample layout. The 2-nd revision of the .AFF technological basement also perfectly supports and is compatible with several encryption and encoding principles and methods.
π Primarily, the .AFF file specification concerns the spellcheck dictionary entities utilized and opened by Apache OpenOffice and Kingsoft WPS Office, distinguished as freeware Office toolkit bundles. Specifically, the .AFF entry commonly includes information which manages and recognizes the accompanying .DIC spell check dictionary content. The .DIC and .AFF tech standards are exploited to attach and correlate with new spell checking dictionaries for different lingual speaking forms, such as French and Italian, to the WPS Office bundle. Users are suggested to formerly pre-download the source .ZIP dictionary packages which are composed of .DIC and .AFF instances, extract the pinpoint entry composition and internal contents, and afterwards install them into the WPS Office toolset. Mostly the current .AFF schema serves and is eligible for checking out and correcting mistakes and errors during the text entry into the document and figure out syntax and morphology discrepancies in for diverse multi-lingual forms.
How to open an .AFF file?
π An .AFF container category is brilliantly identified, explored and opened up by freeware Apache OpenOffice and Kingsoft WPS Office toolkits, adapted for Windows, macOS and Linux operating systems. The noted data entities mostly contain spell checking dictionaries and are embedded into the source office bundle constitution. Besides, the accurate .AFF format branch is managed by OSForensics and GetData Mount Image Pro toolkits, designated for capturing, representing, and visualizing digital evidence during court proceedings. Regardless of the category of content the .AFF entry includes, the target files cannot be reviewed and processed within any mobile infrastructures, regardless of the operating shell it relies on. In the latter case, the accurate entity composition is processed in encrypted shape and foundation. The .AFF data objects can also be accompanied by an associated .ADF extension group, responsible for splitting the whole .AFF file segments into compound pieces.
