Extracting Windows Timeline

Windows Timeline is a feature that first appeared in the Windows 10 April 2018 Update. The feature enhances Task View to display history of the user’s past activities. The Timeline contains historical information about the user’s launched applications, searches, documents and Web browsing history. Along with Windows jumplists, the feature is little known and rarely disabled, giving a valuable insight into the history of system’s usage. In addition, Account Activity (account sign-in) data is extracted.

If the user signs into their Microsoft account, Windows synchronizes the Timeline across devices. Elcomsoft Phone Breaker 9.70 and Elcomsoft Phone Viewer 5.30 add support for Timeline data, enabling experts access timestamped information about the app usage and Web page visits.

OneDrive and Personal Vault extraction

Elcomsoft Phone Breaker 9.70 and Elcomsoft Phone Viewer 5.30 can now download files from the user’s OneDrive storage. The downloaded files include the content of OneDrive Vault, which is a protected cloud storage for keeping the most sensitive kinds of information. In addition, the tool can obtain metadata for files that have been recently deleted from OneDrive.

Now supporting the widest range of data in multiple cloud services, Elcomsoft Phone Breaker becomes truly indispensable for cloud analysis.
