User Groups & Pro-Tips

Digital Investigation Software was originally built for Law Enforcement to help solve crimes. Continued exponential growth of Technology and IOT has widened the net for Digital Investigation Software and increased usage to more and more user groups:

• Investigation Agencies – The Investigation Industry benefits most from the PBN-DIK due to be continued unlimited use and free updates for life provided with all tools inside the kit.

The ability to take a case into a digital sphere and uncover new lines of inquiry is an option no PI Agency can overlook, Cell Phones and Digital devices contain more pedigree information and user behaviour data inside them, than a person’s home.

• Corporations & Organizations – Digital devices vulnerability and usage are dependent on the user, IT Security staff across all types of organizations regularly use Digital Investigation Software for all types of auditing.

Investigating digital devices using the PBN-DIK can be used in all types of Internal Investigations including Human Resources, IT Vulnerability assessments, Employee Investigations, Data Loss and Information Leakage investigations.

• Educational Training – Many Education courses ranging from Justice & Law to IT Security provide modules on Digital Investigation Software, the tools inside the kit provide a strong foundation for Digital investigations and demonstrate multiple methods used by Investigators to acquire and investigate pedigree information.

The PBN-DIK is widely used by over 800 investigation agencies worldwide, the tools have helped acquire information for thousands of cases, along the way we have adapted the kit to be in line with modern usage, below are some important tips that our users have adopted to access as much information as possible, from a digital device.

• Processing any type of Smartphone – iPhone or Android 

Our kit includes extraction software for both iPhone & Android data acquisitions, whilst this data is extremely useful, we have identified a method to capture more image and video data.

Apps or Applications, and cloud storage on smartphones has changed the image and video directories. Image and video directories have been spread across the device, once upon a time all images and videos were in one place, now this content is spread across a device and accessibility of that content may also be dependent on the Apps permissions.

Capturra 1TB Drive is included in the PBN-DIK, this drive has a 1TB internal memory and inside the drive is the Capturra duplication software, this is the most effective tool for processing images and videos from smartphones, due to the way they store images and videos.

Users can connect Capturra and the target phone to a Windows computer and automatically duplicate all images and videos on the device, this process is completely automatic and once the duplication is complete, a file will be saved automatically on the Capturra 1TB drive which will contain all images and videos acquired from the target device.

Users can then use software for iPhone & Android inside the kit, to process all other types of data from a smart phone.

Make your Cases Mobile

• By default, when processing a smartphone, the acquired data will be downloaded to the local drive on the computer you are using to process the phone, in order to access the data and examine the phones contents, users must have the USB drive for the software plugged into the computer, this method ensures only the intended party can access the data.

We recommend due to the size of the data sets acquired from a smartphone, users change the default location from the local drive and save it directly to the 1TB Capturra drive included in the kit.

Adopting this method ensures your Laptop does not slow down, overcomes any issues with only being able to access the content from one computer in one location and is a more secure method for your investigations.

Capturra 1TB – Multiple Use System

Capturra is designed for capturing images and videos automatically, for an Investigator this can prove very useful in several ways.

• Investigations

Perform Targeted analysis as a service, use Capturra to process virtually any digital device, ideal for computers, smartphones and many other digital devices, automatic duplication of a target device in an easy to view folder, saved directly onto the 1TB Capturra Drive. Enough space for over 200k Images and over 100 hours of Video content.

The automatic method saves countless man hours and can be easily deployed anywhere on all types of devices including iPhone, Android, Windows & Mac Computers

Capturra for Evidence Archiving

• Investigators use Capturra as a storage system and the automated method  used to archive data ensures users can automatically offload tools such as surveillance devices and SD Cards, directly onto Capturra, just connect Capturra and plug in the target device to the computer and offload your footage directly onto the Capturra drive, automatically.
