Smart Acquisition Workshop

Smart Acquisition Workshop (SAW) represents yet another first from ASR Data.

SAW is the Data Acquisition component of a case management framework optimized to deliver outstanding performance and benefits in large, complex data forensic investigations.  As a stand-alone utility, SAW is a robust, configurable and easy to use GUI program for creating "forensic" images from storage media.  SAW runs under Windows, Macintosh and Linux operating systems, so if you are creating images of hard disks in Windows
©, you will still likely need a write-blocker.

The images SAW creates can be used by SmartMount to deliver unparalleled performance when storing, searching, authenticating, analyzing, carving, indexing and interacting with data stored within ExpertWitness/EnCase images, SMART images, FTK Images, dd images and many other "forensic" image formats.  The efficiency realized by using SAW and
SmartMount are astounding and the efficiency is "exported" or inherited, transparently by any tool or process you are already using. 

This means, for example, you can search in EnCase up to twenty times faster or index in FTK up to twenty times faster. 
Thats right, up to twenty times faster (your actual mileage may vary). 
Since there is presently nothing else like it, providing a quick and easy explanaition is neither quick nor easy; we must first understand the problems that the solution addresses.

After using SAW in a large case now pending in federal court and presenting SAW at the HTCIA International conference in Atlantic City in 2008, SAW was made available to law enforcement and government agencies exclusively in conjunction with training.  SAW is now being made available to the public sector.  Interested parties are encouraged to contact info@asrdata.com for additional details.
