5 surprising things you may not know about Oxygen Forensic® Detective.
When our Oxygen Forensics team interacts in the wild, we occasionally encounter potential users and even current users who are surprised to learn the scope of capabilities our tools provide investigators.
In an effort to better inform potential users and add even more value to our current users' investigations, here are five surprising things you may not know that Oxygen Forensic® Detective features do to assist in investigations:
1. We also make computers
If you think our products ONLY work on cell phone extractions, you are wrong. We extract and analyze data from computers, including Windows, Linux, and macOS.
KeyScout, which is available as part of an Oxygen Forensic® Detective license at no additional cost, helps investigators retrieve valuable information about computer usage. KeyScout finds passwords and tokens from web browsers and desktop applications and collects important system files to learn more about criminal and employee activities.
KeyScout's interface is intuitive and allows even novice users to navigate:
- Credential collection
- User data extraction
- System File Collection
- Image analysis
- RAM capture
KeyScout can also be used by various researchers to collect data more efficiently in the field. Simply add KeyScout to an external drive and create a customizable search profile that determines where you search and what you search for, including files, images, and videos. Each KeyScout unit can be taken to the scene of the case to begin the search, offline and without Internet access. When data upload is complete, return the KeyScout unit to the Oxygen Forensic® Detective licensed computer where results can be processed, reviewed and analyzed.
So, to review: we are not just a mobile forensics tool. We also make computers.
2. We do it faster
Oxygen Forensic® Detective can import data extracted from other tools and process it 5 to 10 times faster than our competitors. Those are results of direct comparisons reported by users.
Depending on your data volume, our superior processing speed can save you days from meeting case and client deadlines, freeing your investigators to focus on analysis or move on to the next case.
We feel your need for speed, so we make it faster.
3. We filter better
Faster is better when your tools find the data you DO need and filter out the data you DO NOT need.
Based on a direct customer pull, Oxygen Forensic® Detective's image categorization filters targeted 4,050 relevant images (a 92% reduction) of the 52,000 images collected by our competitor. Additionally, our filters removed those nearly 48,000 irrelevant images in a matter of minutes, rather than hours of primarily manual processing.
By looking at thousands of photos or videos in mobile, cloud, or drone extractions, our users can create face sets to make it easier to find faces in extracted evidence. And our users can save time by creating multi-threaded categorization from extracted videos.
Better filters equal smarter extractions and faster investigations.
4. We make the cloud
In fact, we were the first in the industry to collect data from the cloud and have now introduced over a decade of innovation to the forensic world. Our Cloud Extractor, available in Oxygen Forensic® Detective and Oxygen Remote Explorer, offers the only cloud extraction tool built into the software at no additional cost. And we support over 100 cloud services and counting….
Now that most applications are cloud-based, cloud forensics are increasingly critical for law enforcement and corporate incident investigations, which is why Cloud Extractor offers rapid data extraction from:
- Social applications such as WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Viber and Line Messengers.
- Corporate cloud services such as iCloud, Google Drive, One Drive, Dropbox, Box, Outlook, Email Server, MEGA, Slack, LinkedIn, Wicker, Messengers and others.
- Comprehensive IoT data from Amazon Alexa and Google Home, including voice recordings, contracts, shopping lists, and more.
- Drones including flight history.
- Fitness apps including Apple Health, Samsung Health, Mi Fit, RunKeeper, Fitbit and Google Fit accounts.
- Our software also finds the login credentials, phone number or token needed to access any cloud service.
We do the cloud better than anyone else. See for yourself!
5. We make third party data
We believe in a toolbox approach and know that other tools exist, but we also know that we analyze and analyze better than our competition. Therefore, we empower our users' investigations by allowing the import of data from other tools into Oxygen Forensic® Detective, where they can see the full picture of case data collected from different sources on our single platform.
Third-party extractions in Oxygen Forensic® Detective include:
- Berla iVe Backup
- MD-NEXT Backup
- UFED Backup/Image
- UFED Report
- Backup/XRY Image
- Meiya Pico Backup
- Elcomsoft iCloud Data Synchronized
- wondershare backup
Digital forensics is becoming a tool industry and we are the multifaceted tool that goes beyond extraction to enhance your investigations.
