NIST was originally
selected to perform this work for three major reasons:
- NIST is a neutral organization
without ties to law enforcement, so our objectives are purely research oriented.
- NIST has substantial
experience in providing data that has been vetted and verified using several
techniques.
- NIST has substantial
experience in rigorous conformance testing of software.
In addition, the RDS cross-references
file hash values from several products that are available in the marketplace.
This allows users to select a specific set of data from the RDS to match
products that are being used in specific computer forensics laboratories.
To our knowledge, the RDS does not duplicate efforts of other organizations
since none of the products available provides more than one or two hash values,
and none provides the SHA-1 hash value.
Version 1.4:
Number of products in RDS |
3,300+ |
| Number of file profiles |
10,000,000+
|
| Size of RDS in megabytes
zipped(CD-ROM can hold around 600 MB) |
550 |
A list of products in
the RDS is available for download as
inventory.txt
or you may use a
search
interface to find if a specific application is in the RDS.
