Hello everyone,

The latest release of the BitCurator environment (0.9.4) is now available at our wiki (http://wiki.bitcurator.net). Direct links and MD5 checksums can be found on the wiki, or you can follow the links below:

The BitCurator 0.9.4 Virtual Machine - 2.5GB
The BitCurator 0.9.4 Installation ISO - 2.2GB

The BitCurator virtual machine and ISO installation image are now built using the most recent "long term service" release of Ubuntu, 14.04LTS. The base requirements for running the BitCurator virtual machine remain unchanged. Due to a VirtualBox limitation, "dragging and dropping" files from the host to the BitCurator virtual machine will no longer work when only one processing core is assigned. If you wish to use this feature, please assign at least two processing cores to the virtual machine (via "Settings" in the VirtualBox manager).

Additional updates in 0.9.4:

- libewf updated to 20140427 release. TSK and fiwalk now built against this version.
- The Sleuth Kit updated from latest github sources. Improves performance and reporting on disk images.
- SDHash updated to 3.4.
- BitCurator PDF reports generated from bulk_extractor output now include additional provenance and performance metadata.
- BitCurator configuration (in /etc/bitcurator/bc_report_config.txt) updated to manage additional bulk_extractor reports.
- DFXML sources updated to latest release

Our updated Quickstart guide can be found here on our wiki, or in the Documentation folder on the BitCurator environment desktop.

As with previous releases, this environment is built on a 64-bit version of Ubuntu and may be unstable on certain 32-bit host operating systems, or host hardware with less than 4GB of RAM. Please don't hesitate to post here if you have questions!
