Community Edition

The Community Edition of Truxton is free of charge. While fully functional, several of the enterprise features have been disabled.

Description

The Truxton Community Edition provides enough functionality to perform an investigation but not enough to fit into a business solution. The features that are removed are for more advanced investigations, cross-case correlations, data ingest speeds, etc. No forensic capability has been disabled. The Community Edition will work well in a single-user environment but lacks the enterprise features.

Missing Functionality

Here's what your missing:

Maximum of 25 Media

You cannot load more than 25 pieces of media into the Community Edition of Truxton. If you reach this limit you will need to delete existing media before loading new media.

Local machine only

Truxton can spread forensic processing across any number of machines but not the Community Edition. You cannot connect to another instance of Truxton on your network. Other computers cannot participate in the exploitation of media being loaded on this machine. If you need multiple analysts to work on the same media at the same time or you have hundreds of media that need loading, please upgrade.

Single User

Team features such as Coordinated Rapid Review will not have the ability to allow other analysts assist in the review of large numbers of images and videos. Since no one else can connect to the local instance of Truxton, team members can't help you.

Cannot perform Prism Loads

A prism load is where you have used multiple tools to image a phone then load each of the images into a single media eliminating duplicates. Even if you have a logical pull, physical image and backup of the same phone, the analyst won't have to look at three different views of the device, just one unified piece of media. You cannot combine the images taken from multiple tools into a single media to analyze.

Cannot perform Differential Loads

You cannot use an existing piece of media to eliminate files when loading a new piece of media.

Cannot Publish to another Truxton Instance

Since the Community Edition is single instance only, it cannot connect to a remote Truxton database to directly insert into.
