This can be used in conjunction with pre-existing extraction filters in XRY and enable operators to restrict mobile investigations, comply with data privacy requirements and ensure the rights to privacy for victim and witness phones.

Apple Facial Recognition decoding: XRY can now take advantage of Apple facial recognition to identify faces in iOS pictures, providing categorization and matching within extracted data, enabling you to search for a specific face in a cluster of images when analyzing the data in XAMN.

Apple iOS capture screenshot: This feature enables users to quickly capture specific information as it is displayed on the screen from iOS devices, complementing our existing Android screen capture capability.

Python Cloud extraction: Thanks to the hard work and research of FORMOBILE, the release comes with this brand new feature enabling you to perform a Cloud based extraction in XRY using an imported python script in order to recover additional artefacts.

XRY 9.6 also includes:

  • Added support for physical extractions from ten new Samsung Exynos device.
  • Decoding support for the latest iOS 15 and the new Android 12 Beta
  • Comprehensive improvements to XRY Photon
  • Enhanced support for Raven files import and decoding
  • Plus, improved overall support for multiple apps on Android and iOS.

XAMN 6.2

MSAB is proud to continue working closely with Project VIC and the wider law enforcement agencies (LEA) community to help detect and prevent the spread of child sexual abuse material. Digital examiners now have the capability to efficiently grade media from the Gallery view and the Picture viewer in XAMN.

XAMN has gone through several significant user experience improvements plus a whole host of other enhancements to save you time and effort.

Using XAMN 6.2, examiners can now run a slideshow to automatically view all pictures in the Gallery view and can now import Raven files into XAMN Viewer.

XEC Director 6.5

MSAB has been helping digital forensic managers and supervisors to lead their teams from a central control point. The new release of XEC Director allows you to edit the extraction profile’s process options, the extraction and decoding settings, and apply it to multiple Kiosk clients.
