Question: With the field of digital forensics growing at an almost warp-like speed, there are many issues out there that can disrupt and discredit even the most experienced forensic examiner. One of the issues that continue to be of utmost importance is the validation of the technology and software associated with performing a digital forensic examination. The science of digital forensics is founded on the principles of repeatable processes and quality evidence. Knowing how to design and properly maintain a good validation process is a key requirement for any digital forensic examiner. Autopsy® is a digital forensics platform and graphical interface to The Sleuth Kit® and other digital forensics tools that can be useful in providing a sound validation process. It is used by law enforcement, military, and corporate examiners to investigate what happened on a computer. You can even use it to recover data such as photos, deleted documents, email etc. from your any device such as a camera's memory card, thumb drive and or internal and external hard drives.
