XFT 2.0 Game Console Forensics is Released

XFT 2.0 Game Console Forensics is a Windows based forensic tool designed for the Xbox game consoles.  We have received positive feedback concerning the need for a tool like this from a wide range of agencies including the FBI, U.S. Customs, state, local and foreign law enforcement, and the Texas State Attorney Generals Office among others, and we are excited to announce the release of XFT in mid June 2010.  This release features FATX and XTAF file system mount and preview, file export, file hashing, file type identification, identification and recovery of deleted files, and image preview.  The tool supports the Xbox 360 and the original Xbox.  To purchase licenses for XFT 2.0 Game Console Forensics, contact us at sales@protowise.com.

We are happy to announce the official release of XFT 2.0 Game Console Forensics toolkit.  In conjunction with the release, Protowise Labs will be hosting a series of Game Console Forensics Training sessions over the course of the year.  The full day training session includes 8 hours of classroom and hands on sessions, including FATX and XTAF file system forensics, ATA key recovery and drive unlocking, forensic issues with the Xbox 360, and forensic issues and implications of other game consoles.  Training is $650.00 per seat and includes one XFT license with free updates for 1 year.   Please do not make travel arrangements until training has been confirmed by us via email on or before August 27, 2010.  After registration, you will receive an email invoice, at which time payment is due.  We will send a confirmation email one month prior to training day, at which time you should make travel arrangements.  Again, do not make travel arrangements prior to confirmation.

We hope to see you in The Woodlands in September!
