Mar 2nd, 2009 by sherri
The National Drug Intelligence Center has developed software called (ahem) “HashKeeper” “as its principal tool to expedite the analysis of electronic media.”
Hahahaha…..
Apparently, “HashKeeper is available free of charge.” Contact the National Drug Intelligence Center for more information.

1) Oh yay, they reinvented Tripwire… or one of 2^n other schemes for storing hashes of files.
2) MD5? Are they *trying* to make collisions possible so they can plant evidence?
HK, which was created in 1998, identifies and sets aside known operating system files, files that have little or no evidentiary value and allows the examiner to focus on the user created files such as word documents, email, Excel etc.
More likely, it sets aside all the files you just mentioned, and compares instant messenger, email, word, excel, etc. files to those that have been seized due to drug content. Then, that makes it that much easier to find documents that incriminate people since these documents would have things in common.
Anyway, just stumbled this and thought it was interesting. It’s already on your computer whether you want it or not.
