FTK Investigations
University of Maryland Global Campus
Create an Image with FTK Imager
Within these series of labs, we are going to create FTK images to image the content of a
computer system. Imaging is a vital aspect of digital forensics. It allows us to work with a
duplicate service. First we create a disk image, then proceed to creating a description of the
image being created for identification purposes. We proceed to allocate the disk image’s location.
After creating the image, the image produces us hash functions. Hash functions’ purpose is to
verify the integrity of the image. To ensure that no modification has been performed on the
image. Image modification can compromise the image. During this process, A file was created
which defines the whole procedure.

and Image being created
Figure 4: Hash Values which can
verify if a document has been modified
Figure 5: Displays of
the result
, Process an Image From the Suspect Mantooth’s Computer
During this process, we are doing a deeper investigation to provide information such as:
Question: Mantooth's first name and a screenshot of a picture
Answer: Wes Mantooth Mantooth.E01
Figure 1: Wes Mantooth and his picture.
Question: Number of JPG files in the Mantooth evidence file
Answer: There are 323 JPG files in evidence file.
Question: Names of the email domains from the email in this image, plus the number of sent and
received messages and the dates of the oldest and newest sent and received email message for
each domain
Email Senders Domains: None, Comcast.net, gmail.com, google.com,
Hotmail.com, mail.vresp.com, Microsoft.com, pgp.com, swbell.net
