Autopsy 4.8.0 Release: Open Source Forensics Tool


                      Autopsy is a digital forensics platform and graphical interface to The Sleuth Kit® and other digital forensics tools. It can be used by law enforcement, military, and corporate examiners to investigate what happened on a computer. You can even use it to recover photos from your camera’s memory card.



Support for Windows 32-bit and 64-bit operating system, the same support for Linux and OSX (download the source code, compile their own).

Feature

  • Multi-User Cases: Collaborate with fellow examiners on large cases.
  • Timeline Analysis: Displays system events in a graphical interface to help identify activity.
  • Keyword Search: Text extraction and index searched modules enable you to find files that mention specific terms and find regular expression patterns.
  • Web Artifacts: Extracts web activity from common browsers to help identify user activity.
  • Registry Analysis: Uses RegRipper to identify recently accessed documents and USB devices.
  • LNK File Analysis: Identifies shortcuts and accessed documents
  • Email Analysis: Parses MBOX format messages, such as Thunderbird.
  • EXIF: Extracts geolocation and camera information from JPEG files.
  • File Type Sorting: Group files by their type to find all images or documents.
  • Media Playback: View videos and images in the application and not require an external viewer.
  • Thumbnail viewer: Displays thumbnail of images to help quick view pictures.
  • Robust File System Analysis: Support for common file systems, including NTFS, FAT12/FAT16/FAT32/ExFAT, HFS+, ISO9660 (CD-ROM), Ext2/Ext3/Ext4, Yaffs2, and UFS from The Sleuth Kit.
  • Hash Set Filtering: Filter out known good files using NSRL and flag known bad files using custom hashsets in HashKeeper, md5sum, and EnCase formats.
  • Tags: Tag files with arbitrary tag names, such as ‘bookmark’ or ‘suspicious’, and add comments.
  • Unicode Strings Extraction: Extracts strings from unallocated space and unknown file types in many languages (Arabic, Chinese, Japanese, etc.).
  • File Type Detection based on signatures and extension mismatch detection.
  • Interesting Files Module will flag files and folders based on name and path.
  • Android Support: Extracts data from SMS, call logs, contacts, Tango, Words with Friends, and more.

Changelog 4.8.0


New Features:

  • Data Source Grouping:
    — The case tree view can now be grouped by data source.
