Engineered for police cyber crime labs, defence commands, and incident response teams. Acquire bit-for-bit physical disk images, clone NVMe drives at up to 38.4 GB/min, and generate court-admissible dual-hash ledgers with zero forensic corruption.
Test the speed, cryptographic hashing pipeline, and automated exhibit logging of Cipher Sentinel Imager right from your browser.
Everything examiners require to clone, preserve, verify, and sanitize evidence across high-volume laboratory and frontline triage operations.
Sector-by-sector physical dumps preserving unallocated clusters, volume slack, hidden host-protected areas (HPA), and device configuration overlays (DCO).
High-speed drive-to-drive bit replication directly to sanitized target media. Ideal for immediate malware sandbox isolation and physical mirror forensics.
Validate disk images against cryptographic hash registers. Pre- and post-acquisition checks guarantee absolute zero bit-rot across custody handoffs.
Certify evidence destination drives prior to seizure imaging. Clean target media to rigorous defense specifications so previous investigations never cross-contaminate.
Review which acquisition container best aligns with your lab infrastructure, network SAN/NAS ingestion speeds, and court exhibit protocols.
