Belkasoft Forensic IM Extractor Description

Belkasoft Forensic IM Extractor is a simple application designed to help users easily extract the chat history from different messaging applications. Designed for e-crime professionalsThe application has been designed to help investigators retrieve chat history from different IM software, and allows them to do so without having to introduce the password for the accounts they want to examine. Users can extract chat history in a few simple steps, courtesy of the wizard-like interface that the application has been built with, which does not require advanced computer skills to be used. With the help of this utility, users can extract the chat history using two different methods: the index (IDX) file, and the data (DAT) file. The latter allows users to extract even the deleted or overwritten messages, a feature that should prove of great help to forensic investigators. Multiple extraction optionsThe application allows users to set specific options for the extraction of chat history. Thus, they can choose to extract only the messages transmitted during a given period of time, or only the sent or received messages, depending on their needs. The tool allows users to retrieve the chat history only for the contacts that interest them, and also offers support for different languages, including Chinese. The tool allows users to save the extracted history in different formats, including plain text, HTML, or XML. At the same time, it can convert the history to a format compatible with ICQ5, and can also be set to save it in separate files for each contact. Enjoy fast operationsIn the event that the messaging application that users want to extract the chat history from is not installed on the computer, the tool can be used with an existing database, for increased convenience. However, it was designed for older versions of Internet Messengers, and might not be of much help with newer editions. All in all, Belkasoft Forensic IM Extractor is an easy-to-use application, capable of retrieving chat history from various apps in almost no time, with only a few mouse clicks. It might feel somehow outdated, but it includes multiple options for both extraction and export actions. Reviewed by Ionut Arghire, last updated on October 13th, 2014
