# Analyzing Disk Image with Autopsy
## When to Use
- When you have a forensic disk image and need structured analysis of its contents
- During investigations requiring file recovery, keyword searching, and timeline analysis
- When non-technical stakeholders need visual reports from forensic evidence
- For examining file system metadata, deleted files, and embedded artifacts
- When building a comprehensive case from multiple disk images
## Prerequisites
- Autopsy 4.x installed (Windows) or Autopsy 4.x with The Sleuth Kit (Linux)
- Forensic disk image in raw (dd), E01 (EnCase), or AFF format
- Minimum 8GB RAM (16GB recommended for large images)
- Java Runtime Environment (JRE) 8+ for Autopsy
