CRU WriteBlocking Validation Utility 2.0

CRU WriteBlocking Validation Utility Developer: CRU Acquisition Group, LLC

The CRU WriteBlocking Validation Utility is a purpose-built tool for digital forensics and IT professionals to confirm that CRU hardware write blockers are enforcing true read-only access. It performs controlled, non-destructive write attempts against a connected storage device and verifies that no changes are committed, helping you document that evidence or source media remains unaltered.

Key capabilities:

• Quick pass/fail validation of write-blocking behavior before imaging or analysis
• Clear, time-stamped logs that capture device details and test results for case documentation
• Simple, guided workflow suitable for field or lab environments
• Works with CRU write-blocking hardware to support defensible, read-only workflows

This utility streamlines pre-imaging checks and supports chain-of-custody requirements by producing concise, defensible records that a device was accessed in a read-only manner.
