KeyScout – Portable Acquisition Utility

KeyScout is a powerful portable acquisition utility inside Oxygen Forensic Detective. It allows a single digital forensics practitioner to create an unlimited number of portable USB drives that can be distributed to field personnel. These drives can be attached to as many devices as necessary to extract precisely the appropriate data. Extractions on these drives can then be processed and reviewed on a licensed computer.

KeyScout supports file carving for recovering JPEG, PDF, TXT, ZIP, and many other file types from unallocated space. It can make bit-by-bit disk copies and save them to RAW or E01 formats, preserving the entire content of a storage device. KeyScout can recognize virtual machines on target desktop devices and supports a wide range of system and user artifacts from Windows, macOS, and Linux computers.

Case Management And Reporting

The Export Wizard allows investigators to create clear, curated reports of their findings. Users can select precisely the content they would like to include in the report, including data files and visualizations that help the reader focus on exactly what’s important to the case. The Report Reader is a lightweight application (provided at no charge) that allows team members to navigate through the data themselves using sorting, searching, filtering, and reporting.

Investigators can now restrict access to privileged data by protecting it with a password, with password-protected data automatically hidden in final reports. The software can import data from 24 types of sources and normalize it all into one set of views and one timeline for the investigator, processing data up to 10-times more quickly than competitors.
