The Falcon-NEO2 is the groundbreaking follow-on to the Falcon®-NEO which has long been recognized as the “Best In Class” among all imagers. Retooled and optimized with a powerful new engine, the Falcon-NEO2 is the first field imager surpassing 100GB/min E01 capture speeds.
Its SAS-3 architecture (12 Gbps SAS) supports up to 5 simultaneous tasks with up to 10 source and 11 destination ports. Image SAS-3 SSDs at speeds up to 115GB/min, and PCIe drives at speeds exceeding 100GB/min. The USB ports on the Falcon-NEO2 are USB 3.2 Gen-2 (10Gbps), and two 10GbE ports continue to be available on Falcon-NEO2 for imaging to/from network repositories. The “Cloud Storage Acquisition” is standard and available out of the box on the Falcon-NEO2 along with support for AFF4.
In short, the Forensic Falcon-NEO2 is designed to take the already peerless standards set by Logicube to a higher level by offering features, capabilities, and speeds not available on any forensic field imager before.

CLOUD STORAGE ACQUISITION
Now included as a standard feature. Allows users to acquire files from OneDrive, Dropbox, or Google Drive. Capture to any destination drive or network repository.
CONCURRENT IMAGE+VERIFY
Imaging and verifying concurrently takes advantage of destination hard drives that may be faster than the source hard drive. Duration of total image+verify process time may be reduced by up to half.
MULTI-TASK
Image simultaneously from multiple sources to multiple destinations including a network repository. Supports imaging to one location while simultaneously hashing and/or wiping a second drive. Perform up to 5 tasks concurrently. Little or no speed degradation when imaging from two sources to two destinations.
THUNDERBOLT3/USB-C SUPPORT
An optional I/O card supports imaging directly to/from Thunderbolt 3/USB-C and USB 3.1 Gen 2 external drives and storage enclosures. The card connects to the Falcon-NEO2’s 2 write-blocked source I/O ports or 1 destination I/O port. Organizations can take advantage of Thunderbolt 3 technology’s fast transfer speeds when imaging directly to large capacity Thunderbolt 3 RAID storage enclosures for evidence data collection. The I/O card does not currently support imaging in TDM from Mac systems, please refer to the Falcon-NEO2 users’ manual on how to image from Mac systems in TDM using the USB ports or our iSCSI boot device.
MOBILE DEVICE CAPTURE
Acquire critical digital evidence from mobile devices, including Apple iPhones, iPads, Android phones and tablets with an optional renewable software subscription. Capture SMS, MMS, photos, videos. Supports up to iOS version 16.x and Android 4.0 and up.
IMAGE FROM A MAC COMPUTER
Image from a Mac computer with USB-C ports using a USB-C to USB-A cable and Target Disk Mode. Users can also image from Mac computers using Logicube’s USB boot device. Create a forensic bootable USB flash drive to image a source drive from a Mac on the same network without booting the computer’s native OS. The Falcon-NEO2 supports imaging from MacBook Pro systems and supports imaging from Mac computers that use the Apple T2 Security Chip by using file to file mode or using the Mac computer’s Disk Utility.
LOGICAL IMAGING FEATURE
Shortens acquisition time. Create a logical image by using pre-set filters, custom filters, file signature filters, and/or keyword search function to select and acquire only the specific files you need. An MFT report can be generated that contains a potential deleted file list. Format output to L01, LX01, ZIP or directory tree. Users can browse and view directly on the built-in display or manage and view on a networked Falcon-NEO2 from your laptop/desktop using a web browser.
ENCRYPTION DETECTION
Whole disk and partition level encryption detection. Easily identify Source drives with possible encryption.
BITLOCKER, OPAL, VERACRYPT, AND TRUECRYPT DECRYPTION SUPPORT
Decrypt partitions (requires the recovery key or password) and then image the selected partition. BEK (BitLocker Encryption Key) file is supported to unlock FIPS-compliant BitLocker encryption.
APFS SUPPORT
Supports logical imaging (using file to file mode) from drives formatted to APFS (Apple File System). Requires use of Advanced set-up, reference the users’ manual for complete information. The Falcon-NEO2 can also view and browse APFS files using the built-in file browser feature.
IMAGE FROM DESKTOP/LAPTOPS
Create a forensic bootable USB flash drive to image a source drive from a computer on the same network without booting the computer’s native OS. Supports Surface Pro 4 and above laptops.
TWO 10 GBE NETWORK PORTS
Two 10 GbE network ports provide fast network imaging. Image to/from a network repository using CIFs protocol or iSCSI. Users can connect to a 10GbE NAS and connect to your network using the 2nd 10GbE port to minimize bottlenecks.
FILE BROWSER/WRITE-BLOCKED DRIVE PREVIEW
Preview drive contents directly on the Falcon-NEO2. The file browser feature provides logical access to source or destination drives and network repositories connected to Falcon-NEO2. Users can view the drive’s partitions and contents and view text files, jpeg, PDF, XML, HTML files. Users can also view the contents of .dd, e01, ex01, dmg, L01 image files created by Falcon-NEO2. Other methods to preview include using the file browser feature and Falcon-NEO2’s web browser on a PC/laptop or preview over a network via SMB or iSCSI (as an iSCSI target). 3rd party analysis tools can be used with SMB or iSCSI methods.
PARALLEL IMAGING
Simultaneously perform multiple imaging tasks from the same source drive to multiple destinations using different imaging formats. For example, clone to a network location or a destination drive in native copy format while imaging to a different destination drive using e01, ex01, dd or dmg format.
NETWORK TRAFFIC CAPTURE
Capture network traffic, internet activity and VOIP. Sniff data on a network and store captured packets on a hard drive connected to Falcon-NEO2. The data is saved and stored to a *.pcapnpg file format which can be opened by various software programs such as Wireshark. Chain destination feature allows spanning to multiple destinations.
NETWORK SERVICES
Users can disable various network services such as HTTP, SSH, Telnet, CIFS/NETBIOS, iSCSI, Iperf and Ping, for security purposes.
IMAGE RESTORE
File to drive mode restores dd,dmg,e01,ex01 images created by the Falcon-NEO2 to another drive.
TASK MACRO
Allows users to set specific tasks to be performed sequentially. For example, first wipe, then image, then verify a drive. Set up to five Macros with up to 9 operations/tasks for each macro.
NETWORK PUSH FEATURE
Push evidence files from destination drives connected to the Falcon-NEO2 or from a Falcon-NEO2 repository to a network location. The Push feature provides a more secure method than simply copying and pasting to the analysis computer by performing an MD5 or SHA hash during the push process. Additionally, users can select to verify the file transfer to ensure data integrity. Network users can then quickly preview data or copy data to a local drive or to any other directory on the network. The Falcon-NEO2 generates a log file for each push process.
