<H3>Overview</H3>
|
|
It is always important to validate the integrity of images during
|
|
an analysis. Autopsy uses the MD5 algorithm to validate images
|
|
and other files that are created by Autopsy.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
The <TT>md5.txt</TT> files contain the MD5 values for files in that
|
|
directory. Values are added to it when file system images are
|
|
imported into the system or when Autopsy creates the file. This mode
|
|
allows one to calculate the MD5 value if it was not created before
|
|
and to validate the integrity.
|
|
|
|
<P>
|
|
When the <U>Image Integrity</U> button is selected from the <U>Host
|
|
Manager</U> window, all files will be shown with their MD5 value
|
|
if known. Here any image can have its value verified or a new one
|
|
created.
