Military and law enforcement groups that encounter digital media in the field often have two options:
- Perform a high-level triage in the field, limiting the search to predefined items
- Send the media to a lab for a deep dive analysis, which could take days, weeks, or longer
Autopsy provides a flexible and optimized medium-dive solution for gathering intelligence during the critical 2-hour post-acquisition window.
- Enables mission- and case-specific in-depth searches
- Provides opportunities for extensive keyword searching, file carving, fuzzy hashing, and hashset analysis that is not limited by device subset or hard coded locations
- Allows ad-hoc keyword searches based on names and concepts that are mentioned by suspects and witnesses.
- Can perform advanced text and image analytics.
As the premier open source digital forensics platform, Autopsy is trusted by military and law enforcement organizations worldwide, and is ideal for medium-dive exploration.
- Intuitive and easy to use
- Supports hard drives, media cards, and cell phones
- Provides results ASAP – user content analyzed in a 2-hour window
- Extensible and modular – enables GOTS and custom COTS to be integrated based on the needs of a specific mission
