In this article we will cover the basics of what a software kernel is, the application of software kernels in the context of digital forensic examinations, and we’ll shed some light on how kernels contribute to the acquisition and analysis of data during a forensic investigation.
Magnet Virtual Summit is back this February—giving attendees of all skill levels another great chance to catch up on the latest trends and challenges in DFIR from a huge selection of the leading voices in the DFIR field.
In today’s digital age, the use of mobile devices has become pervasive across different domains. With the increase in usage, the role of geolocation in mobile device investigations has become more crucial than ever.
We’re excited to share the news that Magnet Forensics has acquired Griffeye!
Griffeye is recognized by law enforcement agencies worldwide for its powerful digital investigation suite, Griffeye Analyze, which has proven exceptionally helpful for investigators working on child exploitation cases.
GrayKey extractions are an amazing tool for digital investigators and examiners, since getting a full file system image is crucial. For years, most forensic examinations of iOS devices were limited to data only available in an iTunes backup and only if you had the user’s passcode—with Android acquisitions not being much easier.
SRUM, or System Resource Utilization Monitor, is a feature of modern Windows systems (Win8+), intended to track the application usage, network utilization and system energy state. SRUM, as with most operating system features, wasn’t designed for the forensicator, but that doesn’t mean we can’t use it to support our investigations.
We’re proud to once again be able to offer promising officers an opportunity to enter the field of, and advance in, digital forensics through the Magnet Forensics Scholarship Program. Applications are open until December 1, 2022.
Cellebrite images are quite popular, as the tool supports many different devices and extraction types. Because of this, you may get several different image types depending on the device and the type of extraction done. Often, I will get questions on how to load Cellebrite images into Magnet AXIOM and while it’s quite easy, it’s not always straightforward.
Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR), is often used to speak about both the digital forensics and incident response fields—related but separate areas. Let’s delve into what both digital forensics and incident response are and why they are often grouped together.
Magnet AXIOM 6.1 is now available, helping you automatically surface evidence from even more sources, including the Outlook app, Windows Mail, and Google Chrome.
