Digital Evidence Duplication Automation

Let your AI agent handle verified evidence copies, integrity checks, and chain-of-custody logs—so you can focus on your investigation, not tedious steps.

You spend hours using FTK Imager, EnCase, or X-Ways to duplicate drives and document every action in Excel or OneNote. As a digital forensics analyst, every manual step risks data errors and missed deadlines, especially when working under pressure for legal cases.

Automates the creation of verified forensic copies, integrity reports, and chain-of-custody logs for digital evidence.

What this replaces

Copy evidence images from FTK Imager to case folders
Run SHA-256 hash checks in EnCase for every file
Log duplication steps and timestamps in Excel
Organize copied evidence into labeled directories on network drives
Prepare chain-of-custody reports in Word for legal review

The hidden cost

What this is really costing you

In technology-software investigations, digital forensics analysts often duplicate evidence from devices using FTK Imager or EnCase, then manually verify hashes and record chain-of-custody in spreadsheets. This repetitive process eats up valuable time, increases the risk of mistakes, and puts case integrity at risk if even one file is missed. Relying on manual logs and checks can lead to inconsistent documentation and stress during audits.

AI Agent FAQ

Your AI agent generates SHA-256 and MD5 hash values for each file and creates a signed integrity report. These reports are compatible with EnCase and FTK Imager outputs, making it easy to demonstrate authenticity during audits or court proceedings.

Absolutely. You can specify exact file paths, select by file type, or filter by date range—just like you would in X-Ways or Autopsy. The agent follows your criteria and only duplicates what you need for each case.

Yes. Every duplication action is logged with a timestamp, user ID, and device details. The agent outputs a formatted chain-of-custody log you can add directly to your case file for legal compliance.

The agent works alongside FTK Imager, EnCase, X-Ways, and exports outputs ready for Relativity or Magnet AXIOM. It does not require you to change your core workflows—just initiate duplication through your preferred interface.

All data is processed locally on your forensic workstation. The agent never uploads evidence to the cloud, and all logs and reports are stored only on your designated secure drive. Access is restricted by your workstation's user permissions.

Currently, the agent supports NTFS, FAT32, and exFAT file systems. Network drive duplication and multi-language log output are on the development roadmap. For now, it handles English-language logs and local evidence sources.

Yes, your AI agent is designed to handle high-volume evidence sets, automating duplication, hash verification, and documentation for hundreds of gigabytes per case. This minimizes manual work for digital forensics analysts.
