dtSearch Case Study — The Forensic Toolkit™

Forensic Analysis Applies dtSearch

“Using dtSearch can save hours of time”

As computer crimes continue to increase, law enforcement and corporate security personnel require new technology to fight this battle. The Forensic Toolkit™ (FTK™), from AccessData, is a new weapon for computer crimes investigators. AccessData brings over thirteen years experience as the worlds-leading provider of password recovery and forensic file decryption products. FTK™ offers users a complete suite of technologies needed when performing forensic examinations of computer systems.

In the past, investigators were somewhat restricted in their options when it came to the analysis of electronic data. AccessData's addition of FTK to the forensic community works to accommodate all types of investigators, with the ability to read different acquisition formats seamlessly directly into FTK. The KFF™, or Known File Filer feature can be used to automatically pull out benign files that are known not to contain any potential evidence and flags known problem files for the investigator to immediately examine.


“dtSearch was the perfect choice for what we wanted to accomplish with FTK.”
One of the strongest aspects of FTK is that it uses the powerful search engine dtSearch for all of its searching. "Using dtSearch can save hours of time when doing text string searching on any type of electronic data," stated Jodi Dalton one of the lead developers at AccessData. "dtSearch was the perfect choice for what we wanted to accomplish with FTK, fast efficient searching that is easily accessed by any investigator," commented another company representative.

AccessData currently has the dtSearch technology incorporated into FTK (Forensic Toolkit) that is being released the spring of 2001. In the words of dtSearch Corp.'s VP of Sales: "Computer crimes beware: AccessData has quite the antidote."
