Data from the internet, the local area network, mobile devices and computer disks all can be combined into a single case. This year we saw the inclusion of ElasticSearch, which empowers some analytics that significantly extend the tool's usefulness. When AD switched to PostgreSQL, everything relating to data management was instantly better - both from a performance and ease of deployment point of view. Back when FTK shipped with an Oracle backend we found performance issues, especially when using it at our student lab at Norwich University.

This is a bigger, better and easier to deploy system than in prior years. Once we had the system installed we were ready for testing.

The new release found our license dongle from our prior installation and went in flawlessly. We had received a damaged installer disk but when AccessData support replaced the installers everything went smoothly. FTK has been a staple in our lab for years and we were eager to see what the latest release brought us. Such is the case with FTK, the venerable pioneer in the computer forensics world.

While mobile devices once were treated entirely separately from computer disks, today it is common to find these two capabilities combined in a single tool. One of the distinctions that we still find in cyberforensics is between media forensics and network forensics.
