F 200: Examining a Forensic Image with Autopsy (15 pts.)

What You Need for This Project

• A Windows machine

Installing Autopsy

http://sleuthkit.org/autopsy/docs/user-docs/4.19.3/installation_page.html

Troubleshooting If a box pops up saying "Windows protected your PC", right-click the Autopsy installer file, click Properties, and check Unblock. Then run the installer again.

Troubleshooting If the font is tiny when launching Autopsy, right-click the its desktop shortcut, and click Properties. On the Compatibility tab, click "Change high DPI settings". Try various settings. On my system, I got the best appearance by checking the "Override high DPI scaling behavior" box and selecting "System" below it.
