Autopsy

An autopsy—also known as a post-mortem examination, necropsy, autopsia cadaverum, or obduction—is a highly specialized surgical procedure that consists of a thorough examination of a corpse to determine the cause and manner of death and to evaluate any disease or injury that may be present. It is usually performed by a specialized medical doctor called a pathologist.

Autopsies are performed for either legal or medical purposes. For example, a forensic autopsy is carried out when the cause of death may be a criminal matter, while a clinical or academic autopsy is performed to find the medical cause of death and is used in cases of unknown or uncertain death, or for research purposes. Autopsies can be further classified into cases where external examination suffices, and those where the body is dissected and internal examination is conducted. Permission from next of kin may be required for internal autopsy in some cases. Once an internal autopsy is complete the body is reconstituted by sewing it back together.

    Autopsy is a user interface that makes it simpler to deploy many of the open source programs and plugins used in the Sleuth Kit collection. The graphical user interface displays the results from the forensic search of the underlying volume making it easier for investigators to flag pertinent sections of the data. The tool is largely maintained by Basis Technology Corp. with the assistance of programmers throughout the community. The company sells support services and training for using the product.

    The tool is designed with these principles in mind:

  • Extensible—The user should be able to add new functionality by creating plugins that can analyze all or part of the underlying data source.
  • Frameworks—The tool will offer some standard approaches for ingesting data, analyzing it and reporting any findings so developers can follow the same design patterns when possible.
  • Ease of Use—The Autopsy Browser must offer the wizards and historical tools to make it easier for users to repeat their steps without excessive reconfiguration.
  • Podcasts:

    by: Autopsy

    Darkened day
    Torturous ways
    Live only to die
    Slaughterday
    Cast into flames
    Stoned to death
    Law of the lords
    Uncontrollable hoard
    Headless bodies on the ground
    War machine leaves no life behind
    Blood soaks deep into the earth
    Sadistic race
    Rip out your heart
    Strung up
    Cannibals eat your flesh
    Cooked
    Survival of the fittest
    Peel your flesh from the bone
