  2. TOTAL CASES counter increments instantly and every action is written to the tamper-evident audit log.
  • Live counters
    TOTAL CASES, ACTIVE, EVIDENCE ITEMS, AUDIT ENTRIES — refresh automatically as you work.
  • Quick Actions
    + New Case, Field Triage, BSA S.63 Certificate, Legal Oracle.
  • Left sidebar
    Navigates the 8 modules.
1.

Field Triage — rapid on-scene red-flag scan

For field officers: point it at a seized device folder and get a probable-cause assessment in seconds.

How
  1. Open Field Triage.
  2. Paste or browse the target directory.
  3. Click Start Triage Scan.
Output

A categorized list of red flags with severity (e.g. CRITICAL FinTech DB, NARCOTICS, TERRORISM keywords). Use this to justify seizure and prioritize evidence.

3.

AI Lab — offline analysis engine (5 tabs)

Deterministic, fully offline AI. No cloud, no model download.

  • Entity Extraction
    Paste text or point at a file/folder → extracts Aadhaar, PAN, phone, email, UPI VPA (e.g. scammer@ybl), IFSC, vehicle plates, IMEI, etc.
  • Sentiment & Threats
    Scores text; extortion/coercion is flagged NEGATIVE / Threat Level HIGH with a warning banner.
  • Anomaly Detection
    Scans a directory for backdated/future-dated files and timestamp manipulation.
  • Document Classifier
    Categorizes text (financial, legal, identity, communication, technical, medical) with confidence.
  • AI Report Generator
    Auto-writes an investigation summary from an evidence directory.
Tip: empty or invalid inputs now show a clear warning dialog instead of doing nothing.
4.

Analyst Lab — deep-dive workbench

For the lab analyst.

  • Evidence Tree
    Load Dir to walk the filesystem with size/type/modified columns.
  • Keyword Search
    Scan a directory for crime-category keywords (Financial Fraud, NDPS, UAPA, Cyber, POCSO, Hindi). Returns match counts per file.
  • Hex Viewer
    Open any file to inspect raw bytes (e.g. confirm the SQLite magic header of a recovered DB).
  • Case Notes
    Timestamped investigation journal, save/export.
5.

Tools — forensic utilities

The classic bench of imaging and hashing helpers.

  • Hash Calculator
    MD5 / SHA-1 / SHA-256 for files or text; each has a working Copy button.
  • File Carver
    Recovers files by magic-byte signatures from a directory/image.
  • Metadata Extractor
    EXIF, file stats, hashes for an image/file.
  • Entropy Analyzer
    Shannon entropy per file; flags high-entropy (encrypted/packed) data — e.g. encrypted_blob.bin → entropy ~7.95 VERY HIGH.
6.

Advanced Forensics (7 tabs)

Mobile · Network/PCAP · Cryptocurrency · Social Media · GPS/Location · Password Recovery · Crime Scene.

  • Cryptocurrency
    Scan a directory for BTC/ETH/Monero addresses, wallet files, Indian-exchange (WazirX/CoinDCX/ZebPay) activity, and seed phrases.
  • Password Recovery
    Identify a hash type, dictionary-crack it offline (India wordlist), and analyze password strength. e.g. MD5 5f4dcc3b… → CRACKED → "password"; Bharat@FTK#2026!Secure → VERY STRONG, 144.54 bits.
  • Crime Scene
    Document evidence items, chain of custody, witness statements; generate seizure memos/panchnamas. Each item gets a unique evidence ID (e.g. EVD-EAD0B6F1).
7.

Reports (4 tabs)

Every artefact you need to walk into court.

  • BSA S.63 Certificate
    The court-mandatory electronic-evidence certificate. Fill Part A (device custodian) and Part B (technical expert — pre-filled with Dr. Nitnem Singh Sodhi's credentials), tick the integrity certification, then Generate PDF Certificate. Produces a 2-part signed PDF with contact and chain-of-custody details.
  • Document Drafter
    Auto-draft BNSS-compliant documents (e.g. Search Memo / Panchnama under BNSS S.105) with mandatory-compliance and digital-evidence-handling sections. Export as PDF/DOCX.
  • Defense Scanner (Red Team)
    Analyzes your evidence chain for procedural lapses, timestamp gaps, hash mismatches, and BSA S.63 compliance gaps a defense lawyer could exploit. Verifies the audit HMAC chain integrity.
  • Generate Reports
    Full Case Report, Field Triage Summary, Evidence Manifest, Network Analysis, Timeline — all as PDF.
