New evidence sources, like GPS devices and crypto wallets, are becoming increasingly critical in modern investigations. At the same time, workloads continue to grow, placing greater pressure on teams to access and act on data quickly. MSAB’s Q1 2026 Release addresses these challenges with new capabilities designed to expand data access, accelerate workflows, and support frontline teams operating under growing pressure.
MSAB today announced its Q1 2026 release, introducing advancements across XRY, XAMN, UNIFY, and XEC. The update focuses on faster access to critical data, expanded support for new evidence types, and improved efficiency from extraction to reporting.
Release Highlights
XRY Pro
Accelerated password recovery using native GPU power
MSAB introduces native GPU brute-forcing in XRY Pro, enabling investigators to significantly accelerate password recovery using the hardware already available in their workstations. By eliminating the need for dedicated servers or external rigs, this capability lowers the barrier to advanced unlocking and reduces time to evidence.
Market-first support for GPS device extraction and decoding
As digital investigations expand beyond smartphones, MSAB introduces market-first extraction and decoding support for GPS devices in XRY Pro. This capability enables investigators, particularly in maritime and border operations, to access critical location-based evidence that has historically been difficult to obtain. From human tracking to search and rescue, the ability to extract and analyze GPS data opens new investigative opportunities.
XRY
To address the growing use of cryptocurrencies in criminal activity, MSAB enhances XRY with expanded support for crypto applications and live memory analysis. Investigators can now extract and decode data from leading wallets, while also identifying crypto-related artifacts in RAM, including seed phrases, wallet identifiers, and transaction data. This strengthens the ability to trace assets and prevents the loss of critical evidence.
In addition to these headline capabilities, the Q1 2026 release includes a range of workflow and usability enhancements across MSAB’s ecosystem. These updates focus on improving extraction speed, simplifying analysis, enhancing case management, and delivering more efficient reporting.
