What is Forensic Email Collector?
Forensic Email Collector (FEC) is a desktop application that connects to email servers and forensically preserves mailboxes.
Forensic Email Collector (FEC) is a desktop application that connects to email servers and forensically preserves mailboxes.
FEC is a dedicated forensic email acquisition tool. It does one thing, and it does it quite well. Because our focus is entirely on forensically preserving mailboxes, we were able to add many unique features to FEC such as:
Forensic Email Collector supports five main groups of servers:
FEC requires the following:
Once you enter the target email address, FEC tries to automatically determine the target server settings for you by performing Mail Exchanger (MX) lookups and by using Exchange Autodiscover.
In our experience, you won’t have to enter server settings—such as server address, port, and protocol—into FEC the majority of the time.
Yes! FEC’s In-place Search allows you to run queries on mailboxes before forensic preservation. These queries run on the server side, and allow you to search emails without having to download them. Saves you a ton of time!
FEC Remote Authenticator is a simple, independent application you can send to a custodian so that they can authenticate FEC to their Gmail, G Suite, or Office 365 account on their own computer. This workflow supports two-factor authentication and does not require the custodian to provide their password to FEC or to you.
When the forensic acquisition is complete, the custodian can go to their account security settings and revoke access to FEC.
None. You can forensically collect as many mailboxes, and as many email messages as you wish.
FEC can output to MIME (EML), MSG, and PST formats—simultaneously.
Forensic Email Intelligence (FEI) is a deep dive email investigation and intelligence tool. It can be used to analyze individual messages or scan and score numerous messages from various sources.
FEI is typically used to investigate email fraud, business email compromise, phishing, malware delivery via email, and CAN-SPAM Act violations.
FEI supports EML, MSG, Mbox, OST, and PST files. It can also directly import FEC projects to enable investigating server metadata that FEC captures during forensic preservation.
FEI requires the following:
Our software licenses are perpetual. Your license key is delivered electronically and you can start using the software immediately after we process your order.
Your license also includes software updates and technical support for one year. After one year, you can continue to use the software without paying a dime. If you would like to receive software updates, you can renew your maintenance for an additional year at 30% of the full price of a license.
If you prefer to have a dongle license, you can choose the dongle license option during checkout or order the dongle add-on after the fact. When you do, we still email you a temporary license key—so that you can start to use the software immediately—and also ship you a USB hardware dongle. Your temporary license key is deactivated once you receive your dongle.
The hardware dongle allows you to install the software on multiple computers, and move your license around simply by plugging and unplugging the dongle. We use a “driverless” dongle, so you do not have to install additional system drivers.
We use Stripe and PayPal for payment processing. You can pay with a credit or debit card, or any other payment method attached to your PayPal account.
If you prefer to pay by wire, please contact us for bank details.
We stand behind our products. If you are not thrilled, you can request a refund within 30 days of your purchase. No questions asked.
If you purchased a dongle license, you must return the dongle so that we can process your refund request.
