New File Filter Views – Apply custom file filters independently within each BlackLight view to quickly pinpoint relevant media files, messages, email, contacts, and iOS device call data.

“Apple hardware is unique because it supports dual-boot Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows computing environments natively. Digital forensics cases involving a single Mac computer that boots to both operating systems, or contains one or more Windows virtual machines, are common,” said Derrick Donnelly, Chief Technology Officer. “We are extremely excited about this release, because for the first time our customers can import, process, and analyze Windows data using the same powerful BlackLight analysis framework they are already using to successfully conduct Mac and iOS forensic examinations.”

BlackLight 2013 R1 adds an elegant new graphics-based Timeline feature that allows investigators to quickly identify high or low communication activity patterns across multiple computers and iOS devices, during a given time period. Timeline promotes an overall understanding of how these devices were used, and helps examiners visually track Mac and Windows files that were created, accessed, and modified within a specific time frame.

“Our entire BlackBag team relentlessly strives to develop and deliver software tools and features that help investigators quickly triage large data sets and pinpoint relevant information,” said Drew Fahey, Vice President of Product Development. “Our new BlackLight Timeline feature supports this endeavor. Examiners can see how the system was used chronologically, and then match electronic case evidence with other physical case evidence.”

BlackLight® was developed by leading Mac and iOS forensic analysts as a comprehensive forensics software tool to help investigators conduct digital forensic examinations on Mac OS X computers, and iPhone and iPad devices. BlackLight is designed with both novice and advanced users in mind, and features a clean interface, easy navigation, and powerful advanced options. The BlackLight graphical user interface (GUI) was specifically designed to provide forensic examiners with robust capabilities and an intuitive and elegant user experience throughout all phases of a digital forensic investigation.
