Yazen shared more details of the benefits he’s gained using Oxygen Forensic® Detective:
Extracting Data from So Many Sources
“Oxygen’s strength lies in pulling data from nearly any source. It handles a wide range of extractions and makes it easier to piece together digital evidence in a way that actually makes sense. The ability to extract data from mobile devices, cloud accounts, apps, and even encrypted backups is extremely valuable. Oxygen can extract from social media and messaging apps like WhatsApp, Telegram, Signal, and more.”
Recovering Deleted Messages
“When it comes to SQLite database parsing, Oxygen is helpful with recovering deleted messages.”
Save “So Much Time” with Large Datasets
“Oxygen’s facial categorization and keyword searches save so much time when dealing with large datasets.”
Easily Navigate and Review Imported Third-Party Extractions
“After importing extractions from competing or third-party software, Oxygen makes it much easier to navigate and review multiple devices, especially when trying to link conversations, locations, and activities across different sources.”
“The ability to review multiple extractions easily and find connections between devices makes a huge difference, especially when trying to correlate conversations, locations, and activities.”
Efficient Processing and Features
“Cloud data and structured app data are processed efficiently, making Oxygen a reliable go-to for modern digital investigations. Features like Graph Mode and Oxygen Maps make it easier to visualize relationships between people, locations, and interactions.”
Knowledgeable, Responsive Support and Training
“The Support team is knowledgeable and responsive. I’ve had good experiences getting help when needed. The training materials and documentation are solid, especially for someone still getting used to the platform.”
