Testing Resulting for Software Write Block Tools

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; the National Institute of Standards and Technology's (NIST) Office of Law Enforcement Standards (OLES) and Information Technology Laboratory (ITL); and is supported by other organizations, including the Federal Bureau of Investigation, the Department of Defense Cyber Crime Center, and the Department of Homeland Security's Bureau of Immigration and Customs Enforcement and U.S. Secret Service. The objective of the CFTT project is to provide measurable assurance to practitioners, researchers, and other applicable 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.
