XACT enables acquisition of deleted data
XACT provides mobile phone
forensics specialists with the tools they need to perform highly sophisticated “physical”
data acquisitions from confiscated phones or memory cards and allows for the
recovery of deleted information.
The new XACT lets forensics specialists push investigations even further by performing physical data
acquisitions—a process generating hex dumps from phone memory and allowing the recovery of deleted
information.
XACT enables forensics specialists to
securely dump memory of mobile phones and memory cards, followed by automated decoding to reconstruct
the content.
XACT is a complete solution that includes hardware, software and cables—all the tools required to access
from phones and memory cards. A key benefit of XACT is the ability to access protected and deleted content
that may be critical to a police investigation.
Alternative methods are risky and time-consuming
Without XACT, enforcement officials have relied on non-forensics tools to dump and decode information manually,
a process that can take days or even weeks. These procedures also run a high risk of compromising
the quality of the information and consequently their legal standing in a court of law.
Existing methods can put evidence at risk, sometimes even corrupting the phone and
destroying the evidence in the process. XACT protects the information that is
dumped and decoded.
The first version of XACT will support hex dump for a number of commonly used mobile phones and
decoding for some of them, with later versions covering many more phone products.
