Forensics Toolkit or '''FTK''' is a filesystem forensics tool by AccessData used as part of the [http://e-catalog.jhu.edu/search/?P=EN.650.656 EN.650.656 Computer Forensics] and [http://e-catalog.jhu.edu/search/?P=EN.650.757 EN.650.757 Advanced Computer Forensics] courses.

ISI maintains an academic network access license for FTK that allows up to 30 workstations use of the FTK software at one time. This allows the FTK software to be installed on any number of workstations.

= FTK Workstations =
The [[MSSI Lab]] has several FTK workstations set up alongside the [[MSSI General-Use Workstations]].  These systems are typically underneath the desks and can be accessed using the KVM switch (see image above) below the monitor of the nearest workstation. 

= Using Your Own Computer =
If you'd like to install FTK on your own laptop or virtual machine, you can do so using the software located in the <code>Forensics</code> folder on the [[Shared Drive]].  When the system asks you for licensing information, you will need to point it to <code>dibatag.mssi-lab.isi.jhu.edu</code>. These licenses will only work within the [[MSSI Lab Network]].
