Autopsy is a digital forensics platform and graphical interface to The Sleuth Kit and other digital forensics tools. It is used by law enforcement, military, and corporate examiners to investigate what happened on a computer. You can even use it to recover photos from your camera's memory card.

Is Sleuth Kit open source?

The Sleuth Kit is open source, which allows investigators to verify the actions of the tool or customize it to specific needs. The Sleuth Kit uses code from the file system analysis tools of The Coroner's Toolkit (TCT) by Wietse Venema and Dan Farmer.

How are Sleuth Kit and autopsy different?

An autopsy is basically a graphic interface for the very famous The Sleuth Kit used to retrieve evidence from a physical drive and many other tools. Sleuth Kit takes only command-line instructions. On the other hand, autopsy makes the same process easy and user friendly.

The Sleuth Kit (TSK) is a library and collection of command line file and volume system forensic analysis tools that allow you to investigate and analyze volume and file system data. With this software, investigators can identify and recover evidence from images acquired during incident response or from live systems. The software is open source, which allows investigators to verify the actions of the tool or customize it to specific needs.


The library can be incorporated into larger digital forensics tools and the command line tools can be directly used to find evidence.


The volume system (media management) tools allow you to examine the layout of disks and other media. TSK supports DOS partitions, BSD partitions (disk labels), Mac partitions, Sun slices (Volume Table of Contents), and GPT disks. With these tools, you can identify where partitions are located and extract them so that they can be analyzed with file system analysis tools.
