Jumpstarting Criminal Investigations with FTK
Modern day criminal cases have a web of evidence that spans multiple devices, social media platforms, cloud data storage, and more. Every crime has a digital footprint from text messages or emails, to photographic or video evidence, location data, and internet searches. Examiners have to sift through these mountains of digital artifacts to find the truth.
This guidebook breaks down the most important data types to look for first to get a faster start in your investigation.
