MILTON KEYNES, England - SPEKTOR(R) Forensic Intelligence, a fast and forensically sound data acquisition, analysis and review solution for front line officers from the law enforcement and government communities, has been launched by UK-based forensic computing experts Evidence Talks Ltd.
The portable, easy to use system enables officers with minimal training to preserve data and make informed decisions while ensuring evidential continuity, along with forensic and legal acceptability.
A touch screen on the SPEKTOR Control Pod allows an operator to forensically wipe, verify and configure reusable SPEKTOR Collectors. Once configured - a process that takes seconds - the SPEKTOR Collector can acquire data from target PCs, Apple Macs, removable USB, Firewire and memory card devices in minutes.
This speed and the ability to work with a wide range of devices set SPEKTOR apart from other forensic triage solutions, which can be slow and even miss data because they perform other tasks during data collection. SPEKTOR overcomes this by using the power of the Control Pod rather than the target PC.
Data collected by SPEKTOR is protected from unauthorised users, and data and reports are stored in separate protected areas on the Collector device, keeping all case data together.
The Control Pod automatically processes collected data, which is presented in a high level view, allowing the user to drill down as required. Using the intuitive touch screen interface, users can quickly browse images, multimedia and data in all formats such as PDFs, documents, spreadsheets, browser histories, search records, email, chat logs etc.
From Windows(R) computers, SPEKTOR automatically extracts forensically useful data from the registry, including comprehensive profile settings, details of previously attached USB devices, recent file activity, network setting, installed software, online storage details, auto-form details and much more. If indexing is selected, the user is able to perform keyword searches.
SPEKTOR also includes a unique “remote forensics” capability. Operators can request assistance from remote colleagues via a secure, audited network connection, allowing a forensic or intelligence expert to review captured data from anywhere in the world, even via a 3G or sat-phone network.
“We have worked closely with our government clients to develop this solution,” says Evidence Talks MD Andrew Sheldon. “SPEKTOR is being used by a number of UK authorities who particularly appreciate its speed, flexibility and evidential soundness.”
