The latest release of Belkasoft Evidence Center came with a host of new features.
In a word, the Timeline is a new view adding the convenience of combining all activities and communications of the suspect as well as many system events into a single aggregated view.
The Timeline makes investigating events that occurred over a certain time period much easier. By switching to Timeline view, investigators can now access all user activities and system events discovered during the analysis of a huge number of sources in a single aggregated view.
You can either review all activities occurring over a certain period of time or specify a filter. Filtering events in the Timeline view makes it possible to find essential information much faster. For example, you may want to only view suspect's communications in social networks.
You may add messages sent and received via instant messaging applications in a couple of clicks. In a word, the Timeline allows searching for certain types of events of including only selected types of data.
If you are interested in certain specific events occurring over a certain time period, you can easily use a combination of filters specifying the date range and displaying records that include your search string(s).
With case-sensitive, full-text content filtering, you can easily search for events meeting certain criteria or containing certain key words. Timeline filters are stackable, so you can specify a number of conditions that an event must meet in order to make it to the Timeline view.
One major feature added to Evidence Center 5.4 is the ability to investigate SQLite databases by using native processing. This new feature allows Evidence Center users to parse even badly damaged, fragmented and incomplete databases such as those resulting from a carving attempt.
The benefit for the user is enormous: native SQLite parsing allows recovering evidence from deleted and partially wiped databases, helping, for example, to recover much more information from destroyed Skype logs.
The newest release gets rid of third-party SQLite libraries, enabling fully native SQLite parsing. This native parsing allowed us to implement a new trick: SQLite freelist processing.
Did you know that records deleted from an SQLite database are not erased immediately, but are placed into a so-called "freelist"?
This is exactly what allows our new SQLite engine to access deleted records in SQLite databases. What can you find there? With many communication tools using SQLite to keep their histories, you can recover deleted chat logs, such as Skype messages, and access cleared histories, such as deleted iPhone SMSes.
The IEF Evidence Processor Module for EnCase® integrates IEF with the EnCase v7 Evidence Processor. This new free tool streamlines case workflow by allowing investigators to run Magnet IEF Standard from within EnCase.
If you already use IEF you can download IEF Evidence Processor Module for EnCase v7 directly from the Magnet Forensics website
EnCase users who don’t currently own a license for IEF can download a free 30-day trial or the full version of IEF with the IEF Evidence Processor Module for EnCase v7 from EnCase App Central.
These are F-Response September Updates:
F-Response Cloud Forensics and Incident Response Whitepaper
Investigations on Cloud Hosted servers is actually very simple. To that end F-Response has put together a whitepaper on "Cloud Forensics with F-Response" and has posted it on their Mission Guides and Documentation page. The whitepaper covers the general concept, how to leverage tools like F-Response, X-Ways Forensics, and USB-Over-Ethernet to provide top shelf investigative services to remote virtual machines and environments. They even include an example using cloud servers hosted at Rackspace. However, the example is very straightforward and could be readily adapted to other providers (Amazon, HP, Azure, etc).
F-Response Boot CD Preview
F-Response has uploaded the new Boot CD to the website, you'll find it labeled "Preview F-Response Boot CD v2" on the Downloads page for your license.
F-Response has added a number of new kernel modules, updated the Linux kernel to the 3.x series, and restored the same simple boot CD process we put together for the first F-Response Boot CD a few years ago. In addition, while F-Response can't promise it will work in every situation, the responsibles did come across a number of Apple based systems that booted fine with this boot CD, of course your results may vary, but it's certainly worth a try.
Now, CRU has announced a new Ditto firmware release, that includes the following features:
Decryption of the WhatsApp database available in BlackBerry devices running OS 5 and 6 Decryption of REMF media files Imprved decoding of BBM attachments.
Samsung M9xx family and Motorola devices with NVidia chipsets –enhanced decoding support.
Enhanced decoding including IMEI, IMSI, wifi networks, installed apps, notes and more.
Maps – View all extracted locations using Bing Road or Bing Ariel maps, embedded within UFED Physical/Logical Analyzer. The locations are presented with an icon displaying the location type.
Filter the locations based on multiple attributes including date and time and location type. The maps function is free of charge, requires internet access and is only available to UFED Physical/Logical Analyzer users with a valid license.
Rather than verifying complex passcodes one by one, UFED Physical Analyzer enables users to brute-force complex passcodes based on a dictionary created in advance. Supported Apple devices*: iPhone 2G/3G/3GS/4, iPad1, iPod Touch 1G/2G/3G/4G, iPod Nano 5G.
We are very pleased to announce the release of F-Response 5.0.1. In this release we address a few issues and add additional support and platform improvements.
A complete listing of the release notes can be found in our manual, however we've highlighted the main updates below:
Updates to the Modified datetime display to correct a one month skew. Previous release indicated dates that were one month prior to the correct date, January dates returned no data.
New support for logical volume detection within HPUX 11iv2 and v3.
Better handling for remote targets that use a non-standard Windows system root and root drive letter.
Modifications to present Alternate Data Streams (JSON encoding method only).
Higher resolution datetime values (where possible) are now provided in addition to existing unix timestamp values.
Updated Flexdisk API documentation.
Magnet Forensic's new free tool
Magnet Forensics has released a new free tool that converts the X-Ways® generated TSV file into the TLN file format which can be loaded into the IEF Timeline Viewer for visualization. More information.
Magnet received the Forensic 4cast award for “Computer Forensic Software Tool of the Year” for Magnet IEF Standard.
The new release v.5.4 offers a list of new features, functionality and usability improvements. Your reseller discount applies to all versions and editions of Belkasoft Evidence Center.
ElcomSoft Co Ltd. updates iOS Forensic Toolkit, enabling physical acquisition of jailbroken iOS 5 and iOS 6 devices including iPhone 4S and 5, iPad 2, 3 and 4, iPad Mini as well as the last generations of iPod Touch. Support for iPhone 4S and 5 has been highly demanded by forensic customers. By enabling physical acquisition of last-generation Apple devices, the updated Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit makes forensic analysis of these iOS devices once again a feasible enterprise.
In addition, the latest release of iOS Forensic Toolkit automates the acquisition of jailbroken devices, getting rid of previously required manual steps, reducing required manual interaction to absolute minimum. Finally, the acquisition of legacy devices is now completely automated with automatic detection of devices being connected.
Elcomsoft iOS Forensic Toolkit continues providing unrestricted support for legacy iOS devices such as iPhone 4 and earlier regardless of the iOS version they are running. Passcodes protecting these legacy devices can be recovered; however, physical acquisition can be carried out in somewhat limited mode even without a passcode. However, physical acquisition support for last-generation iOS devices is subject to certain technical limitations.
iPhone 4S and 5 as well as the last generations of iPad devices can only be acquired if already jailbroken, or if the investigator is able to jailbreak the device. At this time, non-jailbroken devices that are locked with an unknown passcode cannot be acquired, which does limit this tool’s scope of use.
Passcode recovery speed on jailbroken iPhone 5 devices is increased to 15.5 passcodes per second, allowing iOS Forensic Toolkit to break typical 4-digit passcodes in about 10 minutes.
With the launch of IEF v6.1 Magnet has added a host of new features. They listened to feedback from their customers and delivered a great new set of mobile device forensic features as part of the new IEF Advanced Edition. Also driven by customer feedback is the addition of the new network licensing option that makes it easier to manage IEF across multiple locations. Magnet tried to organize these new features, editions and licensing options to provide customers with added flexibility and choice, but we realize that new options can also cause a little confusion. So here’s a quick rundown of how the licensing works for each of these new offerings.
Current IEF Customers – As a special thanks to its loyal customers, Magnet decided to give a free upgrade to IEF Advanced to all existing IEF Standard and IEF Triage customers, with an active SMS contract. They want you to be able to take advantage of all the new mobile forensic features without having to purchase a new IEF Advanced License. Thanks for your support and please keep sharing your ideas and feedback.
New Customers – New customers can choose from IEF Standard, IEF Advanced or IEF Triage depending on which edition best meets your needs and your budget. For customers considering IEF Standard or IEF Advanced but who would like the flexibility to be able to also do live system investigations Magnet is now offering Triage bundles that allow customers to add Triage capability to an IEF Standard or IEF Advanced License without having to buy and maintain a separate Triage license. Pricing for the Standard-Triage Bundle starts at $1549 and pricing for the Advanced-Triage Bundle starts at $1999.
The latest Tableau Firmware v7.04 release is now available. This release introduces the following changes for the TD3 Forensic Imager, T35689iu Forensic Bridge and the TFU application:
TFU Application Update
TD3 Updates
T35689iu Updates
All users of these Tableau devices are advised to apply this update.
EnCase Version 7.08 will be available in the beginning of August. EnCase Version 7.08 contains many updates and enhancements based on feedback raised from customers around the globe.
Here are some of the highlights:
Evidence Processor Manager
Evidence Processor Manager allows for distribution and control of evidence processing for one or more EnCase Examiners or EnCase Processors. Every license of EnCase Forensic comes with an additional dongle for an EnCase Processor node. This allows the investigator to process on one machine, while examining on another. With Evidence Processor Manager, investigators will be able to distribute, prioritize and control processing within farms of EnCase Processors.
SAFE Configuration Package
Have you ever needed to migrate a SAFE from one environment to another? (e.g. for disaster recovery/planning) It's possible, but can be time consuming to migrate keys, user accounts, roles and permissions from one SAFE to another. We're simplifying this process through creation of a SAFE configuration package. This package exports the entire configuration of the SAFE and may be used to configure another SAFE for everything except for the machine specific setup.
Decryption Support Updates
Support for decryption (with credentials) of the following products will be updated:
Check Point Full Disk Encryption for PC v8
Check Point Full Disk Encryption for Mac v3
OS X FileVault 128-AES
Windows ReFS Support
EnCase will parse and investigate devices using Windows Resilient File System (ReFS).
Solaris Volume Manager Support
EnCase will reconstruct logical volumes created with Solaris Volume Manager (SVM).
File Carver Enhancements
Several enhancements have been made to the File Carver module to improve the quality of carved results. In particular, JPEG images will be carved more comprehensively, with less reliance on default file types and sizes. Carved files will also be named with more information on the file itself, and the physical offset of where the file was carved from.
Evidence Processor Workflow Improvements
File Signature Analysis will not longer be required.
Recover Folders will be capable of being run on initial processing or subsequent processing.
Hash Set Management Improvements
EnCase will now allow investigators to view contents, search, and delete items from Hash Sets.
OS X Disk Image Format Support
Improving on our existing OS X investigation capabilities has been a priority for EnCase over the past 12 months. We are continuing these efforts with adding support for:
DMG, Sparse DMG and Sparse Bundles
Support BZIP and ADC compression for DMG images
Usability Improvements
We've been absorbing feedback from the v7 User's Group and are rolling out enhancements driven directly by you:
