AccessData and Belkasoft announce the release of Forensic Toolkit
(FTK) with Belkasoft-made built-in analytics core.
NOVEMBER 13, 2017 – AccessData and Belkasoft, two worldwide
leaders in digital forensics, joined their forces to deliver the most comprehensive
toolkit for acquiring and analysing digital evidence. The updated Forensic Toolkit
(FTK) v.6.3 integrates Belkasoft-made analytics core, delivering an all-in-one product
extracting a wider range of evidence than older FTK builds. The new tool is aimed
at forensic experts, law enforcement and police forces, IT security departments
and specialists who work to prevent crime against children.
Users of the latest version of FTK gain the ability to utilize Belkasoft’s expertise
in data carving, extraction and analysis. FTK users will be able to discover and
analyze a wide range of digital artefacts extracted from mobile and desktop devices,
including deep analysis of SQLite records and access to deleted information.
“Belkasoft is proud of this integration”, says Yuri Gubanov, Belkasoft CEO.
“We worked very hard for this to happen, spending countless hours to polish every
little thing and deliver a high-quality result, especially to ensure seamless operation
in clusters and distributed environments. We put a high value to our relationship
with AccessData, and consider the partnership as a seal of quality. Our valued customers
will undoubtedly benefit from this integration partnership, receiving a range of
extra capabilities making their job easier.”
“FTK and AD Lab users can now gain seamless access to nearly 200 additional mobile
parsers through an add-on purchase, thanks to our expanded technology partnership
with Belkasoft Evidence Center,” said Victor Limongelli, chief executive officer
of AccessData. "This allows users to analyze data from popular mobile apps –
such as WhatsApp and Facebook – to add more color and context to their investigations."

About Belkasoft Evidence Center
Belkasoft Evidence Center is a world-renowned tool used by thousands of customers
for conducting computer, mobile and cloud digital forensic investigations. Belkasoft
Evidence Center can automatically discover, extract and analyze evidence from a
wide range of sources including computer hard drives and disk images in all popular
formats, memory dumps, mobile backups, JTAG and chip-off dumps, and various cloud
services. The tool can capture and analyze volatile evidence stored in the computer’s
RAM, identify encrypted files, carve Internet chat logs, Web browsing history and
email communications including information stored in digital pictures and videos.
The ability to process office documents in a wide range of formats enables investigators
to perform near-instant full-text search among all the documents discovered on the
suspect’s PC.
Low-level access to hard disk and system structures means that even data that
has been deleted by the suspect cannot escape from investigators. Supporting Windows,
Unix/Linux, iOS, Android and Mac OS X file systems, natively mounting images created
in FTK, EnCase, X-Ways, DD and SMART formats, UFED, JTAG and chip-off binary dumps,
and many popular virtual machines without using these or any third-party tools,
Belkasoft Evidence Center can collect more evidence than any single competing tool
in its class.
