Micro Systemation XRY

Micro Systemation XRY is a mobile forensic tool from Micro Systemation designed to run on the Windows operating system. This software allows a secure extraction of data from mobile devices such as gps navigation, smartphones, portable music players, 3G modems, and tablet processors such as the iPad. XRY is developed and designed to provide support for over than 8,000 different mobile device profiles to facilitate data extraction from mobile devices that do not share the same operating systems or extract from proprietary embedded devices which have unique configurations. This application contains software that guides users to perform data extraction systematically. The XRY variants are XRY Logical, XRY Physical, and XRY Complete. XRY Logical performs logical extraction that allows recovery of most of the live data from the mobile device. XRY Physical is more advanced than Logical since it can perform a logical extraction that bypasses the operating system, giving the opportunity to recover deleted data from the device. XRY Complete combines the capabilities of the two other variants.

a word of warning

Be careful not to rename the extension on .xry files, or any other files. This will not change the file type. Only special conversion software can change a file from one file type to another.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .xry. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
