Installing Autopsy 4.6.0 on linux
Autopsy is a digital forensics tool that needs no introduction. It has a ton of capabilities such as registry analysis, email analysis, media analysis, android analysis etc. The fact that it's open source and is bundled with the ability to analyze android images is just super awesome.
I had previously tried to compile Autopsy for linux but i had little luck. I decided to try again with this version, that's packaged for linux. Here is how to go about it.
Update and install dependencies
- apt-get update
- apt-get install libafflib-dev libbfio-dev libc3p0-java libewf-dev libpostgresql-jdbc-java sleuthkit-java
Install and configure Java 8
Add Java repository and install the Java 8 installer
- sudo add-apt-repository ppa:webupd8team/java
- sudo apt-get install oracle-java8-installer
- java -version
- javac -version
Confirm the Java path
I will work on a follow up blog post, that will highlight how to create android images and analyze them using Autopsy.
- sudo update-alternatives --config java
- sudo nano /etc/environment
- JAVA_HOME="/opt/jdk1.8.0_101"
- export JAVA_HOME
- source /etc/environment
- echo $JAVA_HOME
Download and setup Autopsy
Create working directory:- mkdir autopsy-4.6.0-linux
- cd autopsy-4.6.0-linux/
- wget -nc -cq --show-progress https://github.com/sleuthkit/autopsy/releases/download/autopsy-4.6.0-linux1/sleuthkit-java_4.6.0-1_amd64.deb
- wget -nc -cq --show-progress https://github.com/sleuthkit/autopsy/releases/download/autopsy-4.6.0-linux1/autopsy-4.6.0-linux1.zip
- dpkg -x sleuthkit-java_4.6.0-1_amd64.deb sleuthkit
- sudo cp -r sleuthkit/usr/* /usr/
- mkdir autopsy-4.6.0-linux
- unzip autopsy-4.6.0-linux1.zip -d autopsy-4.6.0-linux
- cd autopsy-4.6.0-linux/
- chmod +x unix_setup.sh
- ./unix_setup.sh
- cd bin/
- ./autopsy
If all goes well, you should get your nice and simple GUI, as shown below.

Hello.
ReplyDeleteNice article.
But I have a problem with Java. Because when I do "./unix_setup.sh" terminal show me "ERROR: Java was not found...."
I tried all folders that a find Java with "sudo update-alternatives --config java" in my case:
/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java
/usr/lib/jvm/java-11-openjdk-amd64/bin/java
/usr/lib/jvm/java-8-openjdk-amd64/jre/bin/java
I tried that routes in /etc/enviroment, and I checked was change correctly with "echo $JAVA_HOME", but doesn't work for me.
Can you help me?
All previous steps works very well.
I’m impressed, I must say. Rarely do I encounter a blog that’s both educative and engaging, and let me tell you, you've hit the nail on the head. The problem is something which not enough folks are speaking intelligently about. I am very happy I came across this during my hunt for something relating to KBC Winner.
