A Deeper Look at Magnet AXIOM's Improved Hashing

By Jamie McQuaid, Forensic Consultant at Magnet Forensics One of the most obvious benefits of Magnet AXIOM is the access to the entire file system, as well as the hundreds of artifact types that the Magnet Forensics parsing and carving engine finds. To accommodate the larger data set and expanded access, we’ve improved the hashing functionality as well. If you are more familiar with IEF, then you know there are a few options to hash pictures or whitelist non-relevant files. However, since IEF only reports on the artifacts it finds, some features like hashing were limited to artifacts and any file that was not an artifact wouldn’t be included. To get started using AXIOM’s advanced hashing functionality, the first thing you’ll want to do is to load your hash lists into AXIOM and, depending on the type of hash list you’re loading, you’ll have a few options available.
