    What We Examine

    What Oxygen
    brings to the brief.

    Tooling alone doesn't make a case — but the right tooling, applied consistently, ensures nothing recoverable is left behind.

    Layer01

    Full file-system extraction

    Logical, file-system and physical acquisitions across modern iOS and Android — including locked, BFU and AFU device states where supported.

    Layer02

    Cloud account collection

    Lawful collection from iCloud, Google, Microsoft 365, social platforms and 100+ services with token or credential authority.

    Layer03

    Communications parsing

    WhatsApp, Signal, Telegram, iMessage, SMS and 20,000+ app artefacts decoded into reviewable timeline.

    Layer04

    Deleted-data recovery

    SQLite carving, journal recovery and unallocated-space analysis to surface deleted messages, photos and call logs.

    Layer05

    Location reconstruction

    Cellular, Wi-Fi and GPS artefacts cross-referenced for movement timelines suitable for court.

    Layer06

    Unified case workspace

    Multiple devices, accounts and sources combined into one searchable case for cross-correlation.

    How it compares
    across the field.

    The Approach

    Tooling is the means,
    evidence is the outcome.

    We run multiple extraction platforms because no single tool wins on every device. Oxygen is the default; Cellebrite, GrayKey and MSAB are kept current for the matters where they out-perform it.

    Every extraction is hash-verified, write-blocked where applicable and chain-of-custody documented. The report tells the bench what was acquired, with which tool, and how each finding was verified.

    The Process

    Calm, methodical,
    court-grade from intake.

    Step01

    Acquisition

    Write-blocked, hash-verified extraction of the device or cloud source under chain-of-custody.

    Step02

    Decoding

    Native parsing of communications, location, media and app artefacts into a single case workspace.

    Step03

    Verification

    Critical findings re-acquired or corroborated using a second tool to remove single-tool risk.

    Step04

    Reporting

    Plain-English report with technical appendix, exhibits and tooling trail ready for court.
