Atola TaskForce is a forensic imager, designed for maximum productivity. TaskForce can image, hash, wipe in parallel on 12+ ports at 15 TB/hour.
Looking back at these three years, you notice how fast TaskForce has transformed. From an extremely flexible high-capacity imager with a traditional forensic feature set to an even more productive and innovative tool. TaskForce now offers unique solutions for emerging and long-standing problems of forensic examiners like RAID support and automation.
Atola is pleased to announce the support of AFF4 files in Atola TaskForce, which makes it the second hardware imager able to create AFF4 files after Atola Insight Forensic! Imaging to AFF4 AFF4 is a highly optimized open-source forensic file format with a wide range of benefits: Open-source format: you Read more…
With RAIDs landing on forensic examiners’ desks often being completely anonymous, finding the correct RAID configuration becomes a tedious manual job that can take hours and days to complete. To make this process efficient and effortless, Atola developers equipped TaskForce forensic imager with a breakthrough configuration autodetection module. This time-saving Read more…
When it comes to RAID imaging, a forensic specialist may be confronted with an array that not only has an unknown configuration but also one of the drives severely damaged or missing. This is when Atola TaskForce comes to the rescue! If this is a RAID 5 with a missing Read more…
Minimizing imaging time has been our core priority. With this idea in mind, we have created Atola TaskForce forensic imager. With it, you can image at 15TB/hour!
Here is how TaskForce’s RAID functionality helps you minimize imaging time by imaging selected partitions of a RAID array.
When imaging RAID 5 array with errors on multiple drives, Atola TaskForce is still able to detect its parameters and image the whole RAID. Let’s examine a case with a RAID 5 consisting of 5 drives, two of which have bad sectors. Reassembling RAID 5 array with errors on multiple drives Read more…
When working with evidence drives, data integrity is critical. Using ECC RAM, which identifies and corrects common single-bit errors, would help dramatically improve data transfer reliability in digital forensic tools. Why use ECC memory Electrical, magnetic or even radioactive interference inside a system, may cause a single bit of DRAM Read more…
How often are you faced with a case with multiple individual devices with different interfaces (HDDs, SSDs, NVMe, USB, etc.) or a whole RAID array? If all you have on your hands is one imager with no parallel imaging capacity, it can result in a prohibitive processing timeline. To help Read more…
TaskForce’s 2020.7.1 firmware makes its operation in a network effortless and further enhances autodetection of RAID:
– add a missing device to RAID 5
– up to 100,000,000 configurations checked
– output narrowed down to just 1 in 90+% of cases!
