Repository Explorer

Repository Explorer – Centralized Management of Evidence Repositories

The Repository Explorer centralizes access to and management of all data stored in connected external Evidence Repositories.

Once selected from the Main Menu, the Repository Explorer will reveal a secondary menu which lists the available repositories and their contents under Global or Organizational assignments.

Key benefits of this new feature include:

• A single interface to browse and manage repositories.

• Download individual files directly from Evidence Repositories to the user's machine.

• Directly upload files into existing repositories using the Upload File action button.

• Import any compatible file in the repository to mount as a ‘disk image asset’ using the new "Import Disk Image" action.

• Improved navigation between global and organization-specific repositories across Azure, AWS S3, Google Cloud Storage, SFTP, and SMB.

Using Repository Explorer

New evidence repositories can be added by selecting the Add New action button.

Repository Explorer: Azure Blob view.

Individual evidence repositories are listed in the table view and can be explored by selecting the link embedded with the repository name.

In the example below, you can see that the Amazon S3 evidence repository has been selected, and within that blob, an area named 'CMG-Test' is displaying its contents.

Selecting the Action icon next to each item in the repository reveals two options:

• Download: Allows the user to download the selected item to the local machine on which they are working.

• Import Disk Image: Enables users to import a disk image file into the File Explorer, where it can be browsed and examined in a mounted state.
