Shadow and Shield / Capability Catalog

Shield 399 capabilities.

An overview of the workflows Shield 399 is being built to support, from evidence acquisition and drive sanitization to analysis, case work, reporting, and tool execution.

Under construction ยท work in progress

This page will continue to change as the hardware, software, and release materials are finalized.

Platform

Appliance, dashboard, profiles, and operational records.

Shadow and Shield combines evidence acquisition, drive sanitization, analysis, case management, reporting, tool execution, and selected synchronization capabilities in one coordinated platform.

01 / Acquire

Evidence Acquisition

Forensic imaging, logical extraction, evidence scanning, and smart-card reading where supported.

Drive Sanitization

Wipe/Overwriter, SSD handling, device-assisted sanitize paths, verification, and post-wipe formatting.

03 / Analyze

Drive Analysis

Hashing, hash comparison, keyword search, timeline views, and encryption indicators.

04 / Move

Migration and Cloning

Image conversion, bit-for-bit disk cloning, and partition-aware drive migration.

05 / Health

Drive Health

Drive, partition, filesystem, SMART, and warning context where exposed by the USB-connected device.

06 / Cases

Case Management

Case records, evidence references, active case context, assignments, and operational history.

07 / Reports

Reporting and Exports

Report records, workflow exports, metrics, and release-dependent consolidated reporting paths.

08 / Accounts

Accounts and Permissions

Users, organizations, roles, permissions, licensing scope, sessions, and per-user defaults.

09 / Execute

Tool Execution Framework
