StartMe Up (Forensic Edition)

As part of my own benefit I created a Start.Me page for a bunch of FOSS forensic tools and utilities that I currently have in my toolkit. I've also included RSS feeds for blogs I follow as well as YouTube channels and some other links to sites I frequent.

Cipher | iOS Now for the last section, the Android phone. Evidence: Google Pixel 3a XL Logical Image - Data.tar | Facebook Return Press x to Respawn On what platform did Rocco share his Call of Duty Username? I switched over to Conversation view to possibly narrow the scope to just communications. Out of Android Messages, SMS, Discord, Facebook, and Twitter, Twitter was the winning application. In the DMs Rocco sends his username to Chadwick. Figure 1: Twitter DMs in AXIOM Warm Up What Southern state's sports team did Rocco search up? In Chrome search history, Rocco looked for " ragin cajuns football record". Figure 2: Chrome search history in ALEAPP The results lead to the Louisiana Rajin Cajuns.
