THUNDERBOLT 4

  • Two Thunderbolt™ 4/USB 3.2 Gen 2×2 ports allow users to connect Thunderbolt external storage enclosures.

M.2 NVME SUPPORT

  • The optional PCIe Expansion Modules support imaging or cloning up to 8 Source and 8 Destination M.2 NVMe SSDs. Up ro 2 modules can be used. Each module can be 4 as Source and 4 as Destination, all 8 as Source, or all 8 as Destination.

BROAD INTERFACE SUPPORT

  • Optional adapters are available for the following drives:
    M.2 SATA
    mSATA
    Micro SATA
    eSATA
    1.8”/2.5”/3.5” IDE
    IDE ZIF
    eSATA
    Flash media

MULTIPLE IMAGING FORMATS

  • Image and verify to multiple image formats – Native copy, .dd, dmg, e01 and ex01. The ZXi-10G-Forensic provides MD5, SHA1, SHA256, and dual hash authentication at extremely fast speeds.

CONCURRENT IMAGE+VERIFY

  • Imaging and verifying concurrently takes advantage of destination hard drives that may be faster than the source hard drive. Duration of total image+verify process time may be reduced by up to half.

BITLOCKER, OPAL, VERACRYPT, AND TRUECRYPT DECRYPTION SUPPORT

  • Decrypt partitions or drives (requires the recovery key or password) and then image the selected partitions or drives. A password or a newly generated BEK (BitLocker Encryption Key) file is required to unlock FIPS-compliant BitLocker encryption.

APFS SUPPORT

  • The ZXi-10G-Forensic supports logical imaging (using our File to File mode) from drives formatted to APFS (Apple® File System). Requires use of Advanced set-up, reference our users’ manual for complete information. The ZXi-10G-Forensic can also view and browse APFS files using our file browser feature.

NETWORK CAPTURE

  • Capture network traffic, internet activity, and VOIP. Sniff data on a network and store captured packets on a hard drive connected to Falcon-NEO, data is saved to a .pcapng file format.

TARGETED/LOGICAL IMAGING

  • Create a logical image by using pre-set, custom, or file signature filters, and/or keyword search function to select and acquire only the specific files you need. Format output to L01, LX01, ZIP or directory tree.

WIPE

  • Choose from Secure Erase, DoD wipe, and custom pass settings. Complies with NIST 800-88 guidelines. User selectable option to verify wipe pass value during the wipe process.

FILE BROWSER/WRITE-BLOCKED DRIVE PREVIEW

  • Provides logical access to source or destination drives and network repositories connected to the ZXi-10G-Forensic. View the drive’s partitions and contents and view text files, jpeg, PDF, XML, HTML files. View the contents of .dd, e01, ex01, dmg, L01 image files created by the ZXi-10G-Forensic. Preview on a PC/laptop or over a network via SMB or as an iSCSI target.

MULTI-TASK

  • Image from multiple sources to multiple destinations, including a network repository, simultaneously. Image to one destination while hashing and/or wiping a second drive at the same time. Perform up to 5 tasks concurrently.

IMAGE FROM A DESKTOP/LAPTOP

  • without removing hard drives. Create a forensic bootable USB flash drive to image a source drive from a computer on the same network without booting the computer’s native OS. Supports Surface Pro 4 and above laptops.

CAPTURE PATH SELECTION

  • Add folders to the destination repository and then select and image to the named folder. Empty folders can be deleted, and folders can be renamed.

FILE SYSTEMS

  • Format destination drives to NTFS, exFAT, HFS+, EXT4, EXT3, EXT2, or FAT32 file systems. Image from source drives formatted to any major file system.

ENCRYPTION

  • Secure sensitive evidence data with whole drive, open standard drive encryption using the NIST recommended XTS-AES 256 cipher mode. Decryption can be performed using the ZXi-10G-Forensic or by using open-source software programs such as VeraCrypt, TrueCrypt or FreeOTFE.

ENCRYPTION DETECTION
