New Evidence of Timestomping Artifact
Malware is meant to blend in and go unnoticed so that it can maintain its presence on a device. One way that bad actors try to keep their malware hidden is to manipulate the timestamps of their malicious files, a tactic known as timestomping.
With AXIOM 4.4, we’ve introduced a new Evidence of Timestomping artifact to help you detect potential timestomping. Check out this blog and how-to video from Tarah Melton for more details:
New iOS Screen Layout Artifact
Details on how a user has set up their device application icons can provide insights into how a user interacted with their device, giving you additional context for your investigation.
With our new iOS Screen Layout artifact in AXIOM 4.4, examiners now can quickly identify and report on how applications were arranged on a device.
Check out this blog from Trey Amick for more on working with the new iOS Screen Layout artifact: Recover iOS App Screen Layouts with the New iOS Home Screen Items Artifact.
