The ICS Computer Forensic Line serves Law Enforcement Agencies and Security Companies all over the world. The Solo-3 Forensic; ICS LinkMASSter-2; Drive Lock write protection devices; RoadMASSter-3 and WipeMASSter units are being used to image, preview, write-protect, analyze data, and to sanitize hard drives.
Developing its line of Digital Media Acquisition Tools and platforms for Computer Forensic Analysis, ICS has addressed specific needs of Computer Forensic by law enforcement agencies and the line includes a variety of units that capture data from almost any media, including all known hard drives, flash cards and un opened computers, abide by the highest standards of Computer Forensic rules and regulations and at the same time all data acquisition tools are user friendly, light weight and portable.
Intelligent Computer Solutions (ICS) the technology leader in high speed hard drive duplication has applied its technology (based on its US patent 6,131,141) to the development of the most advanced tools in Computer Forensic. ICS Data acquisition tools have become the known standard within Law Enforcement Agencies World Wide and are being used wherever data acquisition and analysis takes place. Computer Forensic Investigation involves acquiring data in a forensically sound manner, applying the strictest standards that will stand in the court of law. Reliable Computer Forensic Tools are a must in any crime investigation and need to provide the capability to ensure that the computer forensic tools consistently produce accurate, repeatable and objective results. ICS Computer Forensic Tools were designed with all that in mind and its line of data acquisition and analysis is being used today by federal and local law enforcement agencies in the US, Canada, Europe (Germany, UK, Spain, Italy France, Switzerland, Poland), Asia (Japan, Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, China), and the Middle East.
What's new:
Cobra focuses on "computational complex" algorithms used by RAR and Office 2007 file formats where recovery process is very slow when using only software solutions, even with high end PCs. Cobra works with Password Recovery Tool Kit (PRTK) and Distributed Network Attack (DNA) by AccessData.
With multiple data acquisition features such as IDE, Notebook and Serial ATA hard drives, plus Flash Cards and USB and FireWire connection, the IM Solo-3 can now capture data from SCSI hard drives in a transfer rate exceeding 4GB/Min. This feature completes the array of functions that makes this data imaging tool the most advanced and versatile computer forensic tool for data acquisition in the market today. Acquiring data at high speed to two evidence drives simultaneously, the investigator can choose to hash the data captured on-the-fly with MD5 or CRC32, and seize in forensic sector-by sector format or segment file format (Linux DD). The data can also be acquired from suspect’s unopened computer at high speed through FireWire or USB 2 ports, and a Write-Protection device is built in for protection. Touch Screen, Biometric Option, Detection of Hidden Areas (HPA, DCO), Audit Trail, are all part of the features of this newly released unit. More information
Note:It's highly reccomended to use the Hard Drive Coolerswith the Solo-3 Forensic. This accessory will protect the hard drive from EMI noise and will reduce the hard drive's heat.
New Option for Solo-3: Forensic Mac option. The software allows the user to copy unopened Mac's computer, sector by sector, with the highest standards of verifications - MD5/SHA-1/SHA-2. More Information
"ICS was one of the first vendors to assist Law Enforcement in the field of computer crime. Since 1996, ICS has worked with the NYPD and HTCIA to develop a forensic tool at their own cost. ICS has always been a friend to law enforcement and is the best example of industry working with Law Enforcement as we enter this new era of combating Technology Crime.." James Doyle (ret Sgt NYPD)
ICS Digital Media Acquisition Tools:
Known in the computer forensic industry as the Image MASSter Line, ICS Data Acquisition Tools, Computer Forensic Analysis Platforms, Hard Drive Sanitizing (per DOD specs) and Write Protection Devices, are all part of a regular process of developing and upgrading computer forensic tools, to meet and reflect the constant changes in the digital media industry.
That's why the Image MASSter Solo 3 (a first class and the most advanced data acquisition tool today), The Link MASSter 2 (a unique tool to acquire data from un-opened computer and the Road MASSter 2 (a complete, portable Computer Forensic Lab) are 2nd and 3rd generations of Data Imaging and Data Acquisition that have been developed and upgraded since 1996.
