CRU NIST Federated Write Block Validation Utility
The CRU WriteBlocking Validation Utility provides an easy-to-use method to determine if a hardware or software writeblocker blocks low-level hard drive commands.The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has approved the use of CRU's WriteBlocking Validation Utility for submitting test reports to the Federated Testing Project:
"The Federated Testing project is an expansion of the Computer Forensics Tool Testing (CFTT) Program to provide digital forensics investigators and labs with test materials for tool testing and to support shared test reports. The goal of Federated Testing is to help digital forensics investigators to test the tools that they use in their labs and to enable sharing of tool test results within the digital forensics community." ("Computer Forensic Tool Testing Program", 2015)
