Belkasoft Evidence Center 9.6 Introduces ElasticSearch, TikTok Support and FileVault Decryption

PALO ALTO, Calif., July 10, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Introducing ElasticSearch

Searching for, locating and analyzing evidence is a major function of Belkasoft Evidence Center. The searching that was used for years has been replaced with a brand-new and completely reworked engine. Meet ElasticSearch, one of the most powerful indexing engines in existence! ElasticSearch makes the indexing process faster with a much smoother searching experience thanks to multi-threaded access to the index. The new engine makes searching so much more powerful by supporting regular expressions. Finally, ElasticSearch allows using third-party tools and plugins to examine evidence.

iPhone Acquisition and Analysis

Belkasoft Evidence Center 9.6 improves the acquisition and analysis of iOS devices by adding support for local pairing records. Pairing records, or lockdown files, are created on the user's computer once the user pairs their iPhone or iPad device. Once paired, the device is authorized to exchange information with that computer. Investigators benefit from using lockdown records by being able to access the content of paired iOS devices even if the device's screen is locked with an unknown passcode. Belkasoft Evidence Center 9.6 supports lockdown records created by both stand-alone and Microsoft Store versions of Apple iTunes.

We Decrypt

Belkasoft Evidence Center 9.6 adds support for volumes encrypted with Apple FileVault, the company's default encryption algorithm for macOS computers. In addition, the tool can now decrypt data stored in flat and nested crypto-containers such as Apple FileVault, Microsoft BitLocker and McAfee Endpoint Security (requires Decryption module and a known password). The ability to access nested encrypted volumes can be vital for many types of investigations.

Enhanced Remote Acquisition

The previous version of Belkasoft Evidence Center introduced Remote Acquisition, a major new feature to enable IT security personnel investigate incidents without leaving premises. The current release enhances and improves Remote Acquisition by adding NAT traverse and remote agent port configuration. The updated Remote Acquisition engine can now collect more evidence by extracting a number of remote artifacts.

Other Improvements and Enhancements

Belkasoft Evidence Center 9.6 offers numerous performance and usability enhancements, massively improved remote acquisition and the ability to decrypt nested crypto-containers. More information about what's new and updated in version 9.6 is available at https://belkasoft.com/new
