Autopsy

Autopsy is a forensic-level application that will help you scan raw images, local drives, and logical files for various errors and potential problems.

With Autopsy, you can diagnose and scan your raw images, local drives, and files for potential errors and changes. You can determine the cause of an event with the use of this application very easily. It supports NTFS, FAT, HFS, Ext2, Ext3, and UFS file systems.

The app will investigate these systems and then generate reports based on the findings it made during scans. It will analyze the input of different files and disks, such as IMG, DD, 001, AA, RAW, E01, and some other file types. Then, it will create a report in HTML, XLS, TXT, or other formats that will help you form a timeline of what happened on your computer.

Easy to Use

Even if it sounds complicated, it’s incredibly simple to use. All you need to do is open the built-in wizard, create a new case, and start analyzing your drive. From that point, it’s just a matter of pressing a few “Next” buttons until you have to wait for the scan to complete.

You can choose between a few different styles of scans. You can choose to display data based on recent actions, or perform a hash lookup, or extract archives, too. You can also search for keywords, parse EXIF images, and view unallocated space.

With the ingest method, you can make the analysis results available to you as soon as they are obtained, so you won’t even have to wait that long for some quick results.

Detect Malware and Potential Threats

You can also detect malware and potentially threatening files with the hash lookup operations. It will process different formats to find this information and recognize potential threats.
