A developer at Sam Houston State [[link]] University has created XFT, a forensics tool designed to root out “illicit hidden materials,” including nefarious content like child pornography, buried on Xbox hard disks.
According to a report from Discover, the forensics tool can unearth data stored on a modded Xbox, offering investigators “bit-for-bit information” similar to tools used to scour PC hard drives. The software can also record the investigation, which [[link]] can then be played back as trial evidence.
The original Xbox [[link]] has become a media center of choice for some users who have since moved on to more current-generation devices. Unfortunately, it also appears to have become a storage device for criminals hoping to keep their more revolting content hidden from standard investigations.
