| Abstract: |
| Xtracto is an easy-to-use desktop app for forensically examining Android devices to find useful artifacts, deleted data and digital evidences which will be helpful in investigations of all sorts. |
| What is the unmet need in society that your idea will fulfill ? |
| Android market share is more than 60% and a lot of digital activity, including crimes, takes place on smartphones. The fundamental requirement of a comprehensive, trustworthy and indigenous forensic solution for Android phones is more than ever before. |
| Who needs it ? How many would benefit ? |
| Law enforcement and intelligence agencies, forensic lawyers and/or any organization authorized to deal in digital criminology needs Xtracto for smoothly performing their tasks with the help of a simple, lightweight and easy-to-use desktop application that works for both Windows and Linux. |
| How will the solution works |
| Xtracto will be a desktop application for Windows and Linux Operating Systems. The front end developed in Electron JS will provide the forensic analyst a wide view of functionality like data extraction, analysis, finding artifacts, image/keyword search etc. that he/she can perform on the Android phone. Back-end routines written in Python will perform these forensic operations without hurting the phone's integrity. It will then automatically generate a detailed report of all findings. |
