Access to the Online File Signature Database (OFSDB) providing access to an online database allowing members to collectively manage file signature and file identification information.
How to join?
General Access is free to ISFCE members. Information on how to access this resource is available on the CCE listsrv and ISFCE toolbelt.

Full Access including the Online File Signature Database (OFSDB) is provided as a subscription based service. The subscription service is FREE to government organisations.

What is the OFSDB?
The OFSDB is a bespoke database developed to allow users to share information relating to file identification and research. The OFSDB requires that each member has their own username and password.

Database usage/modifications are automatically monitored and recorded in order to provide an audit log. The audit log can be reviewed by OFSDB members to track any changes made and to ensure data being entered is both valid and consistent.

In order to access the OFSDB users must pay a subscription, this subscription covers the cost of ongoing bespoke research & development, hosting and administrative costs.

A subscription can be in the name of an individual or a company. Please note that companies with 10 or more practitioners will need to contact support prior to purchase, it is not acceptable for multiple users to share one account in this instance.

Small companies and units are welcome to subscribe under a single company/unit name.

Subscription costs $25 USD per year. To begin the registration process click here.
