  • Triage and Device Identification: Use XRY’s pre-scan tools to detect, identify, and prioritize devices for examination
  • Data Recovery: Extract valuable evidence such as call logs, messages, location data, app content, browser history, and email from supported and unrecognized devices
  • Use of Device, Chip-Based, and Generic Profiles: Explore XRY’s profile library to fine-tune your extraction methods based on device make, model, and chipset
  • Troubleshoot Extractions: Solve extraction errors by understanding the extraction processes XRY invokes and examining the XRY logs, utilizing alternative extraction techniques in XRY to resolve and acquire valuable evidence
  • Workflow Customization and Verification: Learn how to build repeatable, defensible workflows tailored to your agency’s protocols while maintaining the chain of custody and compliance.

XRY Pro Certification (2 Days)

XRY Pro Certification is an expert-level two-day training course, designed for participants who are seeking to extract from the most challenging and secure critical data mobile devices. This course is designed for forensic lab experts, examiners, and analysts who face cases where data is difficult to extract and standard tools and methods aren’t enough.

Why Get XRY Pro Certified?

XRY Pro is a pioneering tool that enables you to bypass supported Android device security, data extraction and decoding; as well as obtain physical extractions from supported Android devices that other tools do not. As device security continues to evolve, so does XRY Pro-this training ensures you stay equipped to succeed in an ever-changing landscape. By becoming certified, you’ll improve your ability to tackle complex extractions through advanced techniques and best practices, while also meeting the highest standards of professionalism and competence within the field of digital forensics. Please note that an active XRY Certification is required prior to attending this course.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Master XRY PRO fundamentals: software, licensing, equipment, support, and Android device coverage
  • Compare extraction methods (Full File vs. Physical) and encryption types (BFU/AFU, FDE/FBE)
  • Prepare devices: disassembly, chipset ID, test points, and pre-extraction steps
  • Export key material and apply brute-force techniques with XRY PRO or BruteStorm (CLI & GUI)
  • Optimize performance with distributed computing for password recovery.
