Desktop Application for Android Forensics Xtracto

Abstract

Xtracto is a desktop application for Android Forensics. It provides its users the functionality to extract and report data from an Android device found at the crime scene after connecting it with a windows PC. It covers various data forms and file formats. It has an interactive user interface which displays all the details and information extracted from the device. When data is extracted from an Android, it’s in raw form which is difficult to decipher for a user. Xtracto takes this data and transforms it into an easy to understand and concise report for the user. It converts raw data to human readable form. Both the data files and the report are stored in an output folder on the forensic workstation (the PC). Users can also view and analyze previously extracted data from past cases and can view those former reports.
