Magnet AXIOM Cyber 6.6 is here, and in this release, we have added new and updated features to help you collect, review, and interpret the evidence you need to keep your investigations moving forward.
Earlier this year, we introduced a new artifact category, volatile artifacts, which allows you to remotely collect live system information. Volatile artifacts are an especially important element of incident response investigations as they can provide unique insights into malware behavior and malicious activities that don’t leave easily detectable evidence trails.
With Apple’s announcement of iOS 16’s official launch date, as well as providing their latest “gold master” build, we wanted to take a dive into iOS 16 and see what all was going to be new from an analysis and acquisition perspective.
MRU artifacts, or Most Recently Used are a variety of artifacts tracked by modern Windows operating systems that provide crucial details regarding the user’s interaction with files, folders, and programs that may have been executed using the Windows Run utility. This is fortunate for examiners, because profiling user activity is something digital forensic examiners are often tasked with to corroborate what we believe happened on a computer. It is a method for supporting our theory of the user’s behavior on a system.
Sometimes the tools that have been put in place to protect our data can actually become roadblocks in our forensic investigations.
The latest release of AXIOM Cyber – version 6.5 introduces several new and exciting features including: support for Dell Data Protection Encryption (DDPE), new remote volatile artifacts, added evidence sources and features for Email Explorer, and additional artifact details in Timeline view.
When you need to quickly narrow the scope of your investigation to analyze the data related to a crime or activity that occurred at a specific time, the Timeline explorer in Magnet AXIOM & Magnet AXIOM Cyber offers you an intuitive interface that surfaces time relevant evidence in a visual manner.
We are thrilled to announce the release of AXIOM Cyber 6.4. This release adds more filtering capabilities and evidence sources to Email Explorer, as well as performance improvements to key AXIOM Cyber features to help you work through your cases efficiently.
Maintaining up-to-date hash sets can be a painful process, especially for those operating in offline labs. Hash Sets Manager (currently in beta) lets you easily manage a central database of hash sets that you can distribute to your team’s instances of Magnet AXIOM and AXIOM Cyber, even if they are operating offline.
