GreenLynx

By: Richard May On: Wed, Jan. 25, 2012

GreenLynx was developed to quickly assess the connections among a collection of phones based on the forensic data on the phones themselves. Connections between phones can be assessed through phone calls, text messages, and shared contacts. This analysis usually results in a large graph of connections; making sense of these complicated and large graphs can be challenging. GreenLynx focuses on ease of use and speeding up the time from raw phone data to useful decisions. Investigators can filter based on a date range, area code, or a single phone number.

With a single click, investigators can:

Select the type of connections to show
Color-code links
Hide phones with one or zero connections, thus removing anyone completely outside the network of collected phones and reducing clutter.

Users select phones by clicking individual phones and by lassoing groups. Collections of selected phones are created by filtering and repeated selection. All information on selected phones is made available for analysis.

GreenLynx has been developed to quickly and easily ingest data from Cellebrite readers. Simply point the application to a folder with all the collected files and GreenLynx will ingest and display them.
