#### A graphical interface to The Sleuth Kit and other digital forensics tools.

Autopsy® is the premier open source forensics platform which is fast, easy-to-use, and capable of analyzing all types of mobile devices and digital media. Its plug-in architecture enables extensibility from community-developed or custom-built modules. Autopsy evolves to meet the needs of hundreds of thousands of professionals in law enforcement, national security, litigation support, and corporate investigation.
Disclaimer: due to the system access necessary for Autopsy to perform correctly, this snap is highly privileged and uses the following interfaces:

* block-devices, dm-crypt, fuse-support, removable-media, mount-observe, and system-files-dev (system-files read access to /dev) to find and ingest data sources
* system-files-hugepages (system-files read access to /sys/kernel/mm/hugepages), and hugepages-control to run Solr for indexing keywords in files, which in turn uses hugepages for performance implications
* desktop-launch to launch file manager to view log folders, web browsers online/offline help, and user default applications for opening extracted files in external applications

You may want to manually connect the following interfaces (see <https://snapcraft.io/docs/interface-management> for more details)

* kernel-crypto-api for kernel cryptography functions
* network-observe, network-setup-observe, and system-observe may be necessary in some instances for multi-user networking

See <https://snapcraft.io/docs/supported-interfaces> for more details
