Autopsy 4.21 Version

This article shows you how to start a case with the new version 4.21.0 of Autopsy, one of the pioneering tools responsible for the digital change in forensic investigation in recent years. The article itself does not claim to be a complete guide for a person to use Autopsy. For this, there are several sources on the web. However, an introduction is made on how to start a case in Autopsy, using an image called SUSPECT_LAPTOP, which was used in Belkasoft training and for which I received permission to use.

Digital Forensic Analysis Using Autopsy 4.21.0

This article shows a forensic analysis using Autopsy 4.21.0. The SUSPECT.EO1 file is a disk image case study and is evidence used in Belkasoft's X training and CTF challenge. The article is not intended to be a complete analysis of this image because this image has a lot of detail and has an investigative complexity that would require more than one article. In this way, some parts will be analyzed with the intention of showing the use of Autopsy.

The Two-Tool Process in Digital Forensics. Step 1 Selection

With such a large variety of digital data available, the tool selection process will depend greatly on what type of data you seek and how much of a budget you must spend. Many organizations opt to minimize costs by relying on open-source technology for their investigative needs. However, choosing this method can result in a shortfall when it comes to finding all the critical data. To prevent missing critical data, every investigator should have a secondary tool to use to cross-validate their findings. No single tool can process and capture all the available data, nor does every tool parse the data the same way. That's why employing a two-tool process is a fundamental cornerstone in the field of digital forensics. The selection process outlined below lists steps to follow to maximize your tool selection.
