Sleuth Kit and Autopsy are investigation tools for Digital Forensics. Autopsy Forensics Browser is a graphical interface to the command line digital investigation analysis tool in Sleuth Kit. Like other Disk Analysis tools like Photo Rec and Foremost, this tool will be used for recovering the lost files from the file system. It can be run both in Windows and Linux. The Sleuth Kit® (TSK) is a library and collection of command line tools that allow you to investigate disk images.

The core functionality of TSK allows you to analyze volume and file system data. The plug-in framework allows you to incorporate additional modules to analyze file contents and build automated systems. The library can be incorporated into larger digital forensics tools and the command line tools can be directly used to find evidence. The file system tools allow you to examine file systems of a suspect computer in a non-intrusive fashion. Because the tools do not rely on the operating system to process the file systems, deleted and hidden content is shown.

Autopsy 4 March 15, 2016 OVERVIEW Autopsy is a graphical interface to The Sleuth Kit and other open source digital forensics tools. Autopsy 3 was a complete rewrite from Autopsy 2 to make it Java-based. Autopsy 4 improves on Autopsy 3 by supporting collaboration on a single case by multiple users. Although Autopsy is designed to be cross-platform (Windows, Linux, MacOSX), the current version is fully functional and fully tested only on Windows. We have run it on XP, Vista, and Windows 7 with no problems. Autopsy 4 is released under the Apache 2.0 license. Some libraries Autopsy uses may have different, but similar, open source licenses.

INSTALLATION For a Windows installation, all Autopsy dependencies are bundled with the installer provided. There is no need for manual installation of additional dependencies if the Windows installer is used. If you want the Japanese localized version, you must have the Japanese language pack () installed and the default locale set to JA. Refer to the KNOWN_ISSUES.txt file for known bugs that could cause investigation problems. SUPPORT There is a built-in help system in Autopsy once you get it started.
