Write Blocker – Essential Forensic Hardware to Ensure Data Integrity During Investigations
Write blockers are critical tools in digital forensics, enabling investigators to examine storage devices without risking data tampering. These purpose-built hardware solutions provide a secure interface to access evidence, ensuring the original content remains completely unaltered and preserving the integrity of your investigation while protecting the chain of custody.
What is a Write Blocker?
A write blocker is a specialized forensic device that ensures read-only access to storage media. It acts as a secure barrier between the host computer and the evidence device, preventing any write operations—whether accidental or intentional—during analysis.
These devices are indispensable in digital investigations because even the slightest modification to original data can compromise the authenticity of evidence and affect legal admissibility.
