Forensic TX2 Imager: The latest from Opentext

OpenText is pleased to announce the newForensic TX2 Imager, which will be available in May 2025. As the next generation of forensic acquisition technology,TX2 optimizes the digital forensic investigative processthrough cutting-edge technology and advanced features that save time in data acquisition and preliminary analysis.

Main features of the TX2

Improved Support for Drive Interfaces

More high-speed input/output ports to enable preliminary analysis and acquisition of more data in less time.

  • Origin ports:2x USB 3.2 Gen2 (10 Gbps) Type C, 2x PCIe Gen3 x4, 2x SATA Gen 3.
  • Destination ports:2x USB 3.2 Gen2 (10 Gbps) Type C, 2x PCIe Gen3 x4, 2x SATA Gen 3, with option to add additional 2x SATA Gen 3 via drive bay TX2-S1.
  • Additional I/O Capabilities:2 10Gbps Ethernet ports (1Gbps compatible) and 2 USB 3.2 Gen1 (5Gbps) Type C ports for accessories.

Performance Improvements

  • Platform with processorIntel Xeon-D server classfrom up to3.5GHzand16GB DDR4 SDRAMat 2.4 GHz.
  • Optimized cooling systemto maintain peak performance even under heavy workloads.

Key and Advanced Features

  • Concurrent Verification– TX2 will now start read verification as soon as evidence begins to be saved to the destination, eliminating the wait for mirroring to complete.
  • Parallel Hash Verification (patent pending)– Allows data fragments to be computed in parallel during read verification, maintaining traditional sequential hashes in the forensic data output.
  • Tree Hashing–First in the industryon a portable forensic device. Based on a two-tier open standard, it enables massive parallelization of hash calculation in both acquisition and read verification, maximizing processing resources and eliminating the bottleneck of sequential hashing.
  • Dynamic evaluation of processing resources– TX2 will automatically start any number of active jobs, with the option to manually start queued jobs.
  • Support for multi-factor authentication– Compatible with the standardPIV Smart Card (NIST FIPS 201-3), allowing the use of devicesYubiKey.
  • Target drive reconfiguration function– Allows you to deleteHPA/DCO/AMA, wipe, encrypt and/or format drives in one efficient process.
  • Support for separate NVMe space names– TX2 will detect and allow attachment of separate NVMe space names, which can hide key forensic evidence on NVMe SSDs.
  • gallery view– Viewing images in gallery format within a folder, with the option to zoom and easily move between them.
  • Support for hot swapping PCIe drives– Allows you to connect or disconnect PCIe media without having to turn off the device.

Availability

TheForensic TX2 Imagerwill be available fromMay 2025. Don't miss the opportunity to improve your acquisition and forensic analysis capabilities with this cutting-edge tool.
