Recently, we participated in\u00a0BEC 2017 and BelkaImager Early Access Program. Many of you are familiar with BEC, but what about BelkaImager? It is a new imaging tool from Belkasoft capable of acquisitions of drives, mobile devices and even Cloud data. Today we are going to test it and show you how to image a flash drive and an iPhone with it.<\/p>\n

BelkaImager is a standalone tool: you don’t have to install it – all you need is unpack the archive with the executable file .exe and store it on a flash drive.<\/p>\n

After starting the tool, you’ll see the following screen:<\/p>\n

\"BI_1\"<\/p>\n

Let’s start from imaging our flash drive by choosing the Drive icon. We chose Physical drive, as you can see, and our flash drive is \\\\.\\PHYSICALDRIVE3. We decided to create a raw image with SHA-1 checksum:<\/p>\n

\"BI_2\"<\/p>\n

After clicking Next, the imaging process started:<\/p>\n

\"BI_3\"<\/p>\n

When the process was finished, we received the following message:<\/p>\n

\"BI_4\"<\/p>\n

As a result, we received a raw (dd) image that can be easily parsed with any computer forensic suite.<\/p>\n

Later on, we decided to image an iPhone. Now you should choose a Mobile device icon. Here is the list of available devices:<\/p>\n

\"BI_5\"<\/p>\n

There is nothing to choose here, except for image path, as you can see, so we chose G:\\iPhone. Click Next:<\/p>\n

\"BI_6\"It should be noted that there are some tips for Android acquisitions on the window, including guidance useful when you need to access files on an Android during a forensic extraction<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Finally, the backing up process was finished and, again, we had the following message:<\/p>\n

\"BI_7\"<\/p>\n

As you can see, the tool is really easy to use. It’s still in a developing stage, so we highly recommend you to participate in Early Access program. We hope that you will try Cloud acquisition yourself and share the results with us!<\/p>\n
