Description

Android Acquirer is a desktop application designed for the consent-driven logical acquisition and analysis of Android devices, such as smartphones and tablets. It utilizes the Android Debug Bridge (ADB) along with a companion application to gather specific data from the device, which includes messages, contacts, call logs, multimedia files, applications, and various artifacts. Forensic professionals can assess the retrieved data, maintain detailed records of the acquisition process, and generate comprehensive PDF reports that include chain-of-custody documentation and SHA-256 hash values. This software is specifically aimed at digital forensic examiners, law enforcement agencies, legal professionals, corporate investigators, and others who are engaged in authorized examinations of mobile devices. A complimentary version of the software allows for device recognition and inventory assessments, while the Forensic Edition offers complete data extraction and detailed reporting capabilities. Both Windows and Linux versions are available for download. Additionally, it provides examiners with the necessary tools for establishing documented and repeatable procedures in consent-based mobile device investigations, enhancing the reliability and integrity of the forensic process.

Description

Sherlock Forensics Disk Imager is a specialized Windows application designed for the creation of forensic images from physical drives to assist in the acquisition of digital evidence. It generates raw DD images along with segmented files and EWF E01 formats, which are compatible with various forensic analysis applications. The tool meticulously documents case information, evidence details, and examiner data within a manifest and E01 metadata, while also calculating SHA-256 hashes and providing support for SHA-1 and MD5. Its verification process involves reading both the source drive and the completed image to ensure data integrity; other features include logging bad sectors, a console for live acquisitions, and a protective measure to prevent images from being saved back to the original drive. Aimed at professionals such as digital forensic examiners, law enforcement officials, incident response teams, and corporate investigators, it accommodates both dead-disk and live-acquisition processes on 64-bit versions of Windows 10 and 11. The application operates as a standalone executable, allowing it to function without the need for an installation or additional runtime dependencies, ensuring ease of use for its users. With its robust set of features, it stands out as a vital tool for those involved in the field of digital forensics.
