It’s that time of year again. Time to review all of the new and exciting features that were released into Autopsy since last OSDFCon. We’ll talk about portable cases that allow you to share data with colleagues, making correlations between devices and cases to gather intelligence, and expanded triage capabilities to make faster decisions. We’ve also added in support for more web browsers, OCR, and machine translation. Plus, you can view more file types and draw tags on top of pictures. You can also now collect data from a live Windows system with the logical imager tool.

Autopsy is used about thousands of investigators around the world and has a powerful plug-in architecture that enables 3rd party developers to make plug-in modules. Come attend this talk to learn about the features you didn’t yet realize existed.
