Overview
The Autopsy Forensic Browser is a graphical interface to the
command line digital investigation tools in The Sleuth Kit. Together, they
allow you to investigate the file system and volumes of a computer.
We are currently working on Autopsy 3, which is a complete rewrite. It is being written in Java using the NetBeans Platform. NetBeans allows Autopsy to have a modular framework that will make it easy to incorporate lots of other open source forensics tools.
Here are some of the milestones that we are planning:
- Aug 2011: First Beta: Windows only. Provides ability to browse directory hierarchy and do basic file searching.
- Nov 2011: Second Beta: New database design and hash database support. Code is on github and documentation is available.
- Mar 2012: Keyword search, internet history analysis, non-Windows platforms, etc.
Beta releases of Autopsy 3 can be found on the Downloads page.
