This project will involve the use of a clustered approach to indexing a forensic image. Indexing is the searching of a forensic image (typically a hard disk) for keywords found within the contents of the drive. This process can take up to several days to complete on a single hard disk image.

This project aims to use cluster based technology and file sharing technology to reduce these timelines to matter of minutes not days by using a distributed approach to searching and indexing. This approach could allow on-site triage of a disk contents which could be an invaluable tool in time sensitive or critical investigations such as illcit trafficking, money laundering or planned acts of terrorism.
