| PackageDescription | The Sleuth Kit (previously known as TASK) is a collection of UNIX-based command
line file system forensic tools that allow an investigator to examine NTFS,
FAT, FFS, EXT2FS, EXT3FS and ExFAT file systems of a suspect computer in a
non-intrusive fashion. The tools have a layer-based design and can extract
data from internal file system structures. Because the tools do not rely on the
operating system to process the file systems, deleted and hidden content is
shown.
When performing a complete analysis of a system, command line tools can become
tedious. The Autopsy Forensic Browser is a graphical interface to the tools in
The Sleuth Kit, which allows one to more easily conduct an investigation.
Autopsy provides case management, image integrity, keyword searching, and other
automated operations. |
