The realm of digital forensics

Digital forensics answers questions about computer events and files.

Corporate investigators want to know who broke into a critical server and what websites an employee visited. Military and intelligence analysts want to examine documents and e-mails in a seized computer. Law enforcement officers seek perpetrators of both physical and digital crimes.

The process is similar to investigating a physical crime scene, except that it requires specialized tools to work on digital evidence.
  • First the digital crime scene is preserved by making a copy of the data storage device.
  • The data is then searched to find clues and evidence and to unravel events from emails, disk access logs, and hidden and deleted files.

The next generation of digital investigation tools.

Digital investigations and crime regularly cross international and language borders today. Basis Technology's next-generation Odyssey Digital Forensics™ products dissolve linguistic boundaries enabling analysts to search multilingually as easily as in English.

Odyssey cuts through technical complexities that digital investigators increasingly encounter: How to capture data from computers that may not be brought into the lab? How to search through data in languages the investigator doesn’t know? How to take full advantage of the array of available digital forensics tools, each with its own proprietary file formats?

  • Capture – the Media Exploitation Kit enables experts and non-experts alike to capture data off hard disks, while also documenting the integrity and source of the data.
  • Analysis- Odyssey Digital Forensics Keyword Searching System’s smart search crosses language and file format “barriers.” Analysts need not know all the languages of the data to perform searches that quickly bring significant files to the fore.
  • Portability – the Advanced Forensic Format® (AFF) for storing captured data is open and extensible to make that data available for analysis by any tool the investigator chooses.
