XAMN - Product Launch

We are pleased to announce the launch of XAMN v6.5

For some time now we have been testing beta versions of XAMN - the new analytical software tool from MSAB designed specifically for phone forensics.

XAMN creates a new market sector for analytical solutions with the unique ability to review forensic extractions to the same level of granular detail available in XRY, where you can see images and read SMS details, but on a whole new scale - up to 25 device files all at the same time.

It's a powerful new tool to complement XRY , which allows quicker understanding and assessment of information for our customers. It can facilitate the explanation and presentation of data in court and is user friendly enough to be understood by beginners with just one days training.

A tool purpose built for phone forensics which handles all of the challenges of time stamp normalization and viewing of image files with ease. XAMN is perfect for performing a search across a complete set of devices in one go and allows users to immediately visualize links, times and maps.

Why is it needed?

Well put simply there is simply too much data available these days, commonly referred to as BIG DATA - it seems that almost all of our customers now receive multiple mobile phones when investigating any case or operation. This combined with the increasing volume of data available in smartphones makes overwhelm a real problem.

In one of our Beta test sites we were able to help a team of several examiners speed up the analysis work significantly. They had been going through all the data recovered from the mobile phones on spreadsheets and it had taken them weeks to get to grips with the information. Within a couple of hours of using XAMN, they had identified two new suspects, which had not been apparent before.

With XAMN users will now be able to:

  • Understand the big picture
  • Visualize the links, times and locations of mobiles
  • Compare and contrast multiple XRY files
  • Convert other forensic files into XRY format
  • Run ‘Watch Lists’ against multiple files
  • Create ‘User Added Data’ to assist understanding
  • Assess the volume of information that will need analysis
  • Assist with resource planning for investigators
  • Present simple to understand graphics for briefings
  • Translate foreign language text offline

New Products from XRY

The Kiosk is coming...

MSAB plans to launch two new exciting products in 2013:

XAMN - the smart analytical tool for phone forensic examiners.

and

XRY KIOSK - the power of XRY combined with simplicity of use.

XAMN will be released first in the coming weeks and will provide an impressive new analytical suite capability for XRY, with the power to review up to 25 XRY files simultaneously, run watch lists, visualize connections, plot timelines and map all available geo-data.

The Kiosk will follow later in the year and is now in beta development stage. Designed for busy office environments, we have taken the core engine of XRY and made it easier to use than ever before, with a touch screen interface for front line users who need to quickly and easily recover mobile data.

Both products will provide increasing flexibility for customers to help them in their quest to recover and make sense of recovered mobile data.

Because it's not just about the data, it’s about the context and the meaning.

 

XRY for Windows 8

The end of support for Windows XP is close

MSAB will introduce support for XRY on the Windows 8 platform later this year. Conversely we will be ceasing technical support for XRY on the Windows XP operating system before the end of 2013.

We are giving you advance notice, so you can have the maximum time to plan ahead and advise relevant IT departments of this impending change. 

Windows 7 support is not affected by this announcement and will continue as normal for both 32-bit and 64-bit support.

Microsoft has announced that it will cease all support for Windows XP in 2014 now they have launched Windows 8 and we anticipate increasing demand for XRY to run on this new platform from customers. As a result we will be introducing support for Windows 8 this year to meet this demand.

As we manufacture a validated forensic tool we are required to test XRY on all variations of all operating system platforms we support. The time and work load implications mean we cannot support legacy operating systems indefinitely, so as these Microsoft operating systems continue to diverge we have to move towards more modern versions.

There is a high probability XRY will continue to work on Windows XP for some time after we cease official support, as it has worked on XP since 2004, nevertheless official support will cease by the end of the year.
