The record

Purpose: FTK Imager is a forensic imaging and preview tool for acquiring and preserving digital evidence.
Preview and triage: Users can preview files and folders before full acquisition to identify relevant evidence.
Memory capture: It can capture volatile RAM and registry data from a live device.
File export: It can read and write common forensic image formats and export files for further analysis in FTK Forensic Toolkit.
Evidence validation: The product page says FTK Imager uses MD5 or SHA-1 hash functions for validation.
Supported acquisition sources: It can preview and image Windows and Linux hard drives, CDs and DVDs, thumb drives, and other USB devices.
Operating system limit: FTK Imager runs on Windows only and cannot be installed on Linux, though it can image a Linux device.
Mobile limit: FTK Imager does not collect directly from cell phones or mobile devices; Exterro says mobile extractions require a separate tool.
Target users: Exterro names incident response and DFIR teams, law enforcement and forensic examiners, and corporate security and HR investigators as users.
Paid upgrade: FTK Imager Pro adds encryption-aware workflows, iOS advanced logical collection, faster preview, and targeted acquisition.
Support and training: Exterro directs technical support questions to its support portal and offers an on-demand FTK Imager training course.
Company security: Exterro’s Trust Center lists ISO 27001:2022, SOC 2, FedRAMP Moderate, TISAX, HITRUST, and UK Cyber Essentials 3.2; these are company-level disclosures.
Headquarters: Portland, Oregon, United States
Price from: $41.58/mo
