This page contains technical information on developing code for Autopsy.
There are two types of development that can occur with Autopsy:
- Development of Plug-in modules that you distribute
- Development of core infrastructure and the Autopsy framework
If you are looking for ideas on how you can contribute, then you may want to refer to the feature request and bug trackers. They contain ideas that people have for the tools or bugs that need to be fixed.
