Speed up criminal investigations with Oxygen Forensic® Detective. Experience faster data processing, smarter analysis, and innovative tools to beat case backlogs.

It’s no surprise that a recent survey of prosecutors and investigators found digital evidence to be essential to criminal investigations and prosecutions. By one estimate, digital evidence is a factor in about 90% of criminal cases.

Those surveyed also determined the proper use of more complex data in greater volumes of digital evidence is fraught with challenges including the “insufficiency of methods and tools from 10 years ago.”

These insufficient methods and tools are unable to keep up with the processing of increasing volumes of data, leading to years-long backlogs becoming a looming fact of life for investigators.

How can investigators cut through the growing backlogs to catch up and even get ahead of their discouraging status quo? By gaining the holistic benefits of faster speed to results.

Using faster speeds to streamline digital evidence extractions, processing extracted data faster, more efficient searches, and innovative tools add up to the backlog solution. Faster speeds making up time every step of the way.

Oxygen Detective can process extracted data faster with industry-best data normalization

Oxygen Forensic® Detective provides industry-best data normalization for a single, coherent overview of data collected from all sources.

Oxygen Forensic® Detective can ingest 24 types of data including mobile phone, computer, and the widest range of cloud data and services in the industry, including email, automobile, drone, fitness apps, and much more. Plus, it can process data extracted by a third-party tool and can normalize it all into one set of views and one timeline for the investigator.

Oxygen Forensic® Detective can import data extracted from other tools and process it up to 10-times more quickly than our competitors based on results from head-to-head comparisons reported by users.

As data volumes increase, our faster processing can reduce investigation times by days, helping you meet case and client deadlines. Even time saved processing smaller volumes can add up to hours, days and potentially weeks of investigator time in a calendar year of cases.

Customer quote

“One of our larger recent cases required extraction and analysis of a particularly large amount of data – we had been performing essentially continuous, 24-hour extractions for weeks at a time, pulling down enormous amounts of highly varied data. We were curious  and a bit apprehensive about the processing of so much data, how much time that would take, and were making timeline projections in terms of weeks — but (Oxygen Forensic®Detective) came through impressively, processing the entire quantity in less than a day and presenting it to us in a format that allowed us to produce our final output in less than an afternoon. Again, we found that Oxygen had outperformed not just other tools, but also our own expectations.”

Smarter, more accurate search categorization produces faster analysis

Better filters are the secret sauce for smarter extractions and faster investigations.

Investigations can speed along when your tools are filtering out the data you don’t need to focus your resources on the data you do need.

An example: Thousands of photos or videos in mobile, cloud, or drone extractions could add hours or days to an investigation. But Oxygen Forensic® Detective’s multi-thread image and facial categorization filters can reduce days and hours of manual filtering and processing into mere minutes by filtering out the images you don’t need.

More accurate image and facial categorization provides more relevant results and saves enormous amounts of manual filtering.

See what you want faster using better layout, better filters, and fewer clicks.

Customer story

“A foundational element of my work is examining child sexual abuse material, identifying relevant data elements. One recent case involved review of a very large collection of images, and we first used another software, then used Oxygen. The first software flagged approximately 30,000 images as potentially illicit, and our examiner subsequently found that roughly 2,500 of those 30,000 were in fact illicit. The examiner weeded out more than 27,000 false positives. When we ran the same set of images  through (Oxygen Forensic® Detective), it flagged 2,500 images as potentially illicit, and the examiner found that they were the same images that had been identified as illicit in the previous determination. There were no false positives, something we found remarkable.”

Time-saving tools accelerate data conclusions — at no extra cost

Smarter tools that help investigators streamline their efforts are faster tools. Here are five of the powerful, innovative tools and features all built-in to Oxygen Forensic® Detective at no extra cost

KeyScout

The KeyScout tool allows a single digital forensics practitioner to create an unlimited number of portable USB (“thumb”) drives that can be distributed to field personnel who attach them to as many devices (phones, computers, drones) as necessary to extract precisely the appropriate data. Extractions on these drives can then be processed and reviewed on a licensed computer.

Cloud Extractor

Cloud Extractor provides fast data extraction from over 100 cloud services including:

  • WhatsApp, Telegram, Discord, Viber, or Line Messengers.
  • IoT data from Amazon Alexa and Google Home.
  • Drones and fitness apps.

In addition, it finds correct credentials to access cloud services.

Translation Module

Evidence must be understood to be effective. Piecing together a case with multilingual evidence has never been easier or faster.

  • Translate over 20 languages in the identification and analysis of multilingual data, and maximize accuracy in the interpretation of evidence.
  • Offline translation for security.
  • Translation in Messages, Timeline, and Applications sections.
  • Available at no extra charge.

Maps

Track and visualize movements and travel, verify locations and timelines, and reconstruct events with ease.

  • Geo coordinates from all sources including photos, videos, apps, drone flight logs, and more.
  • Event reconstruction.
  • Pinpoint common locations.
  • Obtain addresses from geo locations.
  • Analyze and convert time zones.

Activity Matrix

Customization of activity levels and correspondence between number of events and activity levels.

  • Pull in map data through individual timelines at the device and the case level.
  • Identify places, routes, and common locations.
  • Detect when the device was most used,

It’s time for your investigation to save time

Oxygen Forensic® Detective’s recipe for speeding up your investigations is simple:

  • Process faster — Process data extractions faster.
  • Analyze faster — Smarter, more accurate data analysis produces faster results.
  • Advanced, more innovative tools and features save time every step of the way.

Added together these accelerators get you to your results MUCH faster than other software — every step of the way.
