Recently, I worked on a case involving extorting loans over the internet. I had to examine several desktops and laptops in terms of the activity of their users on the Internet. The amount of information (artifacts) that writes the operating system to disk with such activity is huge. I had a hard and tedious work waiting for me to analyze the data and use a lot of different tools.

Due to the nature of the illegal activity, there was a suspicion that the data on the disk could have been removed or cleaned. So, the scope of the work was to recover deleted files and analyze them. In my research I had to include not only artifacts from web browsers.
Information from instant messengers, e-mails and documents could also prove important.

Having such a specific goal and the scope of the research, I could do all the necessary tasks manually using a dozen or so different tools. However, it would take me a very long time and would force me to spend many hours in the process of obtaining data for analysis.
Being an active user of the BEC software, I knew that BEC had all the functions I needed.

The data collection for analysis with BEC was limited to connecting the disk and selecting the elements that interested me. After finishing the work by BEC, I received an orderly set of data that I could browse, search and sort. I love working so efficient. And what is important in the work of computer forensics, BEC allowed me to export relevant data to the format that was me needed.

The use of BEC saved me many hours of tedious work, thanks to which I could focus on the result and not on the way to it. A job with such a powerful tool as BEC will be appreciated by anyone who has experienced the hardships of working with electronic proofs and Internet artefacts.

As a forensic analyst I like Belkasoft Evidence Center for its wide support of instant messaging clients and mobile phone artefacts including JTAG dumps. Combination of broad range of artefacts, ease of use, ability to export processed data to Belkasoft Reader for client’s review and helpful support makes BEC product of choice for many forensic practitioners.

From position of lecturer at university I had chance to introduce BEC to the students during Digital Forensics class. The most important part of the experience for the students was the intuitive and automated processing of acquired digital evidence. Students were introduced ultimately different approach for artefacts processing, as they could simply load Encase evidence file, choose artefacts types, they want to analyse and let the BEC do the difficult part of data processing and information interpretation. Automated processing altogether with simple to use user interface, allowed them to process and analyze non-trivial class assignments without any significant guidance and within limited time dedicated for hands-on exercises.

In my course I teach photo forensics, and I had a tough time picking between RedLight and Belkasoft, so I present students with both tools. Consistently students like RedLight for speed, but for accuracy, in-depth details, GPS integration and much more they choose Belkasoft every time as the best tool.

Our company has been using software products from Belkasoft since 2011. Before that we were using 2 other forensic tools, but Belkasoft Evidence Center has proven to be more convenient and versatile. Not only it allows analysis of all the types of data that we look for on various devices, but it also comes at a very fair price. It has been pleasant to watch this product develop in a way to comply with the needs actual at the time. Belkasoft Evidence Center is easy to use and does not take long to get familiarized with.

I have done enough practical forensic investigations to know that u have to use Belkasoft Evidence Centre to validate one's findings if you are using any of the other forensic tools. Belkasoft Evidence Centre must be one of your main investigation forensic computer tools. If you are not using Belkasoft as your primary investigation tool then you can not do without it as a secondary validating forensic tool. You just can not afford not to use it as the other well-known forensic tools may have missed important evidence.

It is very easy and straightforward to use, all the hard programming work has already been completed in the software so you do not need to know a scripting language to use it extensively. However, it does cater for the very advanced users to write scripts for very particular and once off investigation tasks. Belkasoft Evidence Centre finds the most critical evidence quickly, to allow the examiner to get a quick overall picture of the investigation that needs to be undertaken, allowing the results to be used at preliminary investigation meetings to decide on the scope of the investigation. It can even be used during incident response. .

We at Interesting Times Forensics work for Courts as well as corporate customers. Belkasoft Evidence Center has earned itself a fixed position in most of our forensic workflows because it helps us to find relevant information very fast and easily. Especially information about the suspect’s communication can be retrieved very efficiently. Even when we faced challenges in our investigations we experienced an extraordinary fast and competent support from Belkasoft that showed us that BEC is actively developed and we always felt backed up by the support. With BEC you can present the results of your investigation very easily (even to non-experts) without losing the connection between result and data source, which is very important when working in forensic examinations. We are very satisfied with BEC and look forward to the future - as we got to know Belkasoft the best is yet to come.

Not only for memory management, but it also does a much better job of keeping the examiner informed and makes it easier for the examiner to find the data. It looks better and it works better. It has made my job a bit easier and faster. Thanks to all!

My Agency has been using Belkasoft Evidence Center for 2 years now. The software is a powerful robust Forensic tool with all the built in features needed for a thorough examination for computers and cell phone images. The software lays the data out nicely so you can easily conduct a productive analysis that saves you lots of time in comparison to other tools I have used. I recently used Belkasoft for a computer intrusion case, and was able to discover many items of evidence that assisted me in revealing the intruded intercepting the communication. I highly recommend this great tool in any Forensic examiners arsenal of tools.

I have been a Computer Forensic Expert for more than six years and do most of my orders are for the Hungarian Police, for the National Tax and Customs Administration of Hungary (NTCA), and for different Court Houses in Hungary. In case of works done for the Hungarian Police I always use Belkasoft Evidence Center, as it provides great help in examining seized computers. During my work I highly benefit from using this fast and easily manageable software as it helps in exploring the contacts of offenders and the victims, as well as their total communication on the internet. Throughout the six years of my personal experience as a forensic examiner, I have tried many forensic tools, but I find that it's Belkasoft Evidence Center that can help find crucial data for the investigation and verification processes in the fastest and the most effective way.

Lakatos Tamas, Computer Forensic Expert, Hungary

I bought Belkasoft Evidence Center one year ago because I had a case where I found pieces of incriminated Skype and ICQ-Messages, but I could not get a readable text with my forensic tools and I could not get the sender and receivers. Running Belkasoft Evidence Center I found round about 1200 chat partners, 350 of these chat partners transferred child pornography.A little girl shown on some pictures could be freed...Since this first success, I use Belkasoft Evidence Center in each case, and it speeds up my work. If I have time I take older cases and run Belkasoft Evidence Center to learn if I can find something new.

Your Evidence Center software has saved my business from ruins and helped me locate a rogue employee who was stealing vital information. I am so glad I chose Belkasoft for my IT Security and I would be without a job today if not for Belkasoft Evidence Center. Evidence Center from Belkasoft does 10 times to at least 100 times more than the next best similar software.
