Image Scan is a component
system developed by the FBI CART Unix Program for Innocent Images field investigators to accurately view a variety of graphics formats on a subject’s computer.
Image Scan uses a customized Linux boot CD/floppy combination in conjunction with a
mass storage USB device
that allows investigators in the field to access the graphic and movie files on a subject’s computer while making absolutely no changes to any files. As used for consent searches, this system maintains the forensic integrity of the computer viewed for subsequent forensic examination in a lab environment.
Since 2003, the Image Scan
system has been offered to all law enforcement agencies. This system is only for use by law enforcement, can not be copied or used in a manner that it was not intended and the user of the
system must receive training before receiving the system.
The NTRCFL, in conjunction
with the FBI CART Unix Program, designed and developed the training curriculum for Image Scan versions 1 - 3.
A number of FBI Special Agents have already been trained and are using Image Scan on consent searches across the United States. The NTRCFL has trained instructors at the other RCFLs nationwide. Only authorized instructors can distribute materials and teach others to
use Image Scan.
