Test Results for Forensic Media Preparation Tool

The Computer Forensics Tool Testing (CFTT) program is a joint project of the National Institute of Justice (NIJ), the research and development organization of the U.S. Department of Justice, and the National Institute of Standards and Technology’s (NIST’s) Office of Law Enforcement Standards and Information Technology Laboratory. CFTT is supported by other organizations, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the U.S. Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center, the U.S. Internal Revenue Service Criminal Investigation Division Electronic Crimes Program, the U.S. Department of Homeland Security’s Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection and the U.S. Secret Service. The objective of the CFTT program is to provide measurable assurance to practitioners, researchers and other users that the tools used in computer forensics investigations provide accurate results. Accomplishing this requires the development of specifications and test methods for computer forensics tools and subsequent testing of specific tools against those specifications.
