“What’s

dtSearch

his

vastly

Forensic
Information
Technology
courses
include
dtSearch.
The
president
of
Computer
Forensic
Associates
is
now
teaching
graduate-level
forensics
computer
courses.
Included
in
the
curricula
is
everything
from
general
dtSearch
forensic
search
applicability,
to
advanced
techniques
for
using
dtSearch
for
finding
passwords
and
encryption
keys
(please
contact
Computer
Forensic
Associates
for
details).
From
the
class
notes:
“dtSearch
is
not
a
forensic
tool
in
the
classical
definition.
It
is
more
of
a
data
management
and
searching
utility
that
lends
itself
perfectly
to
computer
forensic
examination.
Within
the
universe
of
electronic
evidence
search
tools,
dtSearch
is
about
as
good
and
as
powerful
as
it
gets
…
dtSearch
is
an
industry
standard
tool
beyond
conventional
reproach
and
challenge.”

A
leading
security
trainer
to
US
law
enforcement
and
intelligence
agencies,
SYTEX
trains
in
dtSearch.
"SYTEX
is
repeatedly
requested
to
provide
training
to
the
intelligence
community,
local
law
enforcement
organizations,
and
professionals
in
the
private
sector.
Initial
identification
of
collection
and
analysis
tools
that
may
enhance
and
further
investigative
efforts
is
a
key
part
of
training.
dtSearch
capabilities
make
it
one
of
the
top
tools
in
analysis
efforts.
We
have
identified
dtSearch
as
a
front
line
tool
for
Federal,
Local
Law
Enforcement,
Royal
Canadian
Mounted
Police,
and
Intelligence
Agencies
in
intelligence,
forensics
and
homeland
security
endeavors.”

"Every
time
we
go
"manual"
I
am
reminded,
once
again,
what
a
great
product
dtSearch
is!
I
have
our
entire
database
indexed
so
all
we
have
to
do
is
type
in
the
account
number
and
INSTANTLY
it
appears
on
the
screen
along
with
all
dispatch
instructions,
zone
descriptions
and
contacts....With
dtSearch,
we
increased
our
lookup
speed
so
dramatically
that
we
can't
imagine
how
we
ever
used
those
index
cards
for
the
task!"

dtSearch
"searches
are
blindingly
fast.
Fishing
expeditions
are
easier
with
features
such
as
fuzzy
searches,
which
can
find
words
even
when
they
are
misspelled,
and
a
built-in
thesaurus
that
can
be
used
to
automatically
include
synonyms
in
a
search
...
Functioning
equally
well
against
both
email
folders
and
text
files,
these
are
very
powerful
and
useful
capabilities
for
an
investigator."
