Being a digital forensic investigator isn’t easy. Long days of inspecting some of the worst material humanity creates, searching for clues; carving through petabytes of pointless information to find the one piece of evidence crucial to solving a case. But the satisfaction of using digital evidence to deliver justice makes it all worthwhile.
Following fast on the heels of our major Magnet Axiom 8.0 release, we are thrilled to announce that Axiom 8.1 is now available!
What is a Jump List? The term “Jump List” is used quite frequently in digital forensics and discussions regarding artifacts found on computers.
The latest major release of Magnet Axiom, version 8.0, is now available.
Mobile devices have become a huge part of our lives and, by extension, of forensic investigations when a crime is committed. Every suspect, victim, and bystander has a wealth of evidence right in their pocket. But as your cases are filled with more and more mobile devices, making sense of that data and clearly and effectively sharing it can be problematic.
Instances of synthetic, or deepfake, media have seen a dramatic increase in recent years, with an estimated 500,000 video and voice deepfakes shared on social media in 2023. While deepfakes aren’t a new phenomenon, advances in machine learning and AI have increased the speed, accuracy, and availability of developing synthetic media. And the source material for these fakes is increasingly available through our ever-expanding personal digital footprints.
With the depth, variety, and volume of evidence in modern cases, developing engaging reports that effectively tell the story of the case for stakeholders, including those that aren’t technical, is a persistent challenge.
AXIOM 7.10 adds a range of new features and new artifact support to keep your investigations current with the latest evidence sources.
As with many things, seeing is believing. To help add important context to your reports and testimony in court, we have introduced Animated Maps in Magnet AXIOM and AXIOM Cyber.
A common scenario for SOC’s and IR teams is being handed a piece of evidence and being asked to “Find Evil.” Those on the receiving end know this to be a broad ask. If there is a known good image to compare things to, the process may be easier, but not all organizations have a gold build available for comparison.
