All new USB WriteBlocker
We've heard your requests. You told us that you need a forensic solution to access USB flash drives or devices that cannot be removed from a USB enclosure. USB WriteBlocker works with devices that register as "USB Mass Storage" devices very common for thumb drives and storage enclosures. USB WriteBlocker is also compatible with other devices that register in the same way such as some Cellular Phones and Digital Cameras.

What is supported
USB 1.1/2.0 devices that would normally register with the computer as a "USB Mass Storage Device" are supported. This is the vast majority of USB devices since it is used by hard drive enclosures and thumb (flash) drives.

What is not supported
If the device requires special drivers USB WriteBlocker probably cannot see it. However if such devices are plugged in through USB WriteBlocker no writes will occur even if it cannot access the media. In these cases the volume will simply be inaccessable.

Keeping it Simple
USB WriteBlocker has two ports and one LED and is very easy to use. Simply attach the Device Under Capture to one end and attach the computer to the other. The LED confirms power to the device and simultaneously confirms that the write-blocking technology is active.

Software Utility
Usually the Operating System has access to information about a volume attached through USB. Because USB WriteBlocker is acting as a filter the Operating System only sees USB WriteBlocker. Forensic Software Utility will display information about devices connected to USB WriteBlocker and allow you to save them in any format you wish.

SDK/API
WiebeTech is extending support to the development of forensic software by freely distributing a software development API and software development kit so that programmers can query USB WriteBlocker for information about connected devices.
