Rather than performing an in-depth search of a drive, which can be time-consuming, Magnet OUTRIDER helps triage and preview content by quickly scanning target devices for contraband con- tent and applications. Magnet OUTRIDER scans the file names on a target for potential dark web, P2P, cloud storage, encryption, anti-forensics, gaming, messaging, virtual machine, VPN, and cryptocurrency apps and files. You can view the list of supported apps and files in Magnet OUTRIDER. Magnet OUTRIDER also scans file names for keyword matches using keyword and regex keyword lists. Depending on the keyword list you use, Magnet OUTRIDER can help identify files that contain CSAM or other flagged content. A keyword list with CSAM-related keywords is included in Magnet OUTRIDER for law enforcement agencies. You can also import NCMEC CyberTip reports to use URLs, file names, and IP addresses from the reports as keywords for locating files or matching on browser history. For scans of live systems, Magnet OUTRIDER can collect operating system artifacts, capture RAM, take a screenshot of the desktop, and obtain the external IP address for the system. Law enforcement customers can also use technology from the Child Rescue Coalition (CRC) in Magnet OUTRIDERto quickly identify known CSAM content even if no keyword hits were found in file names. This technology analyzes all of the files scanned by Magnet OUTRIDER (not including files found in ZIP files) using hashes from law enforcement CSAM databases in the United States and Canada. After a scan completes, you can review the items of interest in the app, export evidence, and view a sum- mary report generated by the app. Note: If Magnet OUTRIDER returns a result of No hits found, the drive isn't necessarily clear of relevant apps, keyword matches, or CSAM content. Some users are capable of hiding files from the application. However, using Magnet OUTRIDER's quick scanning capabilities can help to prioritize between multiple target devices. 5 User Guide GETTING STARTED WITH MAGNET OUTRIDER If your organziation has purchased Magnet OUTRIDER, you'll receive a USB dongle that you can take with you on your investigations to use Magnet OUTRIDER on a computer.

Understanding changes made to the system To maintain the integrity of forensic evidence, Magnet OUTRIDER does not modify or create any files on the system where it is run. However, a few files will be created automatically by the Windows system. If you run Magnet OUTRIDER on a system and then examine evidence from the system more closely using a forensic tool such as Magnet AXIOM, you'll find registry keys and prefetch files in the evidence that were created when you connected the USB drive and ran Magnet OUTRIDER. 7 User Guide ITEM DESCRIPTION Registry keys When you connect your Magnet OUTRIDER USB dongle to a target's computer, some registry keys will be created. These registry keys will match the hard- ware ID of the USB drive that you connected. Prefetch files When you run Magnet OUTRIDER on a computer, Prefetch files are created by Windows. The following Prefetch files can be found at C:\Local Disk\Win- dows\Prefetch. l Each time you open the program, a file will be created whose file name begins with "MAGNETOUTRIDER.VXXX.EXE". l If encryption is detected on the computer, a file will be created whose file name begins with "EDD.EXE". Detecting Bitlocker encrypted drives When you open Magnet OUTRIDER, the application automatically checks the computer and its attached drives for Bitlocker encryption. If Magnet OUTRIDER detects a drive that has been encrypted and password- locked using Bitlocker, you'll be notified of which drive has been detected as a Bitlocker locked drive. A drive cannot be scanned if it is encrypted using Bitlocker. If the Bitlocker pop-up window appears before your scan, choose one of the following options. l If you know the drive password, click Yes.

You can narrow or broaden the range of your scan by configuring scan options or adding keywords, regex keywords, or NCMEC report data to your search. If necessary, you can stop a scan at any time. When you stop a scan, Magnet OUTRIDER generates scan reports based on the evidence that it has already scanned and saves these reports to the case folder.
