Autopsy 3.0 is an open source, end-to-end digital forensics platform based on The Sleuth Kit. It's a free user-friendly, windows-based tool that has all of the standard features of a commercial digital forensics tool, including file recovery, keyword searching, hash matching, registry analysis, web analytics, etc.
"Autopsy brings an unprecedented set of open source tools to the digital forensics market to ensure that investigators have ready access to powerful technologies that can have a major impact on their abilities to analyze digital information.
