Wiebetech USB Write Blocker

USB WriteBlocker

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 "USBMass 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.

Keeping it Simple

USB WriteBlocker has two ports and one LED and is very easy to use. Simply attach the target drive 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. The utility "UWB Device Information Viewer" 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.
