Learning Resources: You will be required to watch training videos related to the tool's usage to familiarize yourself with its current capabilities and intended use cases.
Development of Statement of Work: Post review and learning phase, you will draft a detailed Statement of Work (SoW). This SoW should outline the project scope, milestones, and deliverables based on your understanding and the improvements proposed.
Technical Specifications:
Core Functionality: The tool must function as a hex viewer capable of loading and viewing physical disks, files, various image container types, and file systems supported by a tool similar to Sleuthkit.
Access Modes: Must feature toggles for read-only and read-write modes to protect data integrity.
Template Loading: Ability to load and apply templates for structured viewing of data.
Candidate Profile:
