Blue Hound vs DFIR Toolkit

The essential Bluetooth app for scanning and locating your smart devices from Apple, FitBit, Garmin, and many other companies. Scan and identify nearby devices. Locate devices by signal strength, heat map or direction finder. You can now find Fitbit and other Bluetooth devices that are paired with your iPhone. If the Bluetooth device is paired with another iPhone, turn off Bluetooth on that iPhone. Blue Hound is always scanning for Bluetooth devices. When a device is detected, Blue Hound identifies it by name, maker and model when possible. It does this using a large database of smart recognizers that are updated automatically. Devices you find are uploaded to the cloud to help you search for them later. Blue Hound works great with Bluetooth tags. If you attach one to your keys, you can locate them within 100 feet or more even outdoors in high grass. Attach one to your drone and you will be able to find it if it lands unexpectedly. Scanning for Bluetooth devices can be a fun outdoor activity. Take Blue Hound out for a walk. Enable Power Saver Mode for Blue Hound in Settings and put your iPhone in your pocket upside down. The screen will go dark and the app will enter power saver mode. If you wish, Blue Hound can even bark to alert you when a new device is found. Blue Hound has features not found in any other Bluetooth scanner or finder: • Real time Bluetooth scanner with signal strength and description • Sort the scanner list by age, distance or name • Filter the scanner list for matching text • List both active and inactive devices • Power saver option and audio alerts for scanning while walking • Search the cloud for devices you have found in the past • Search for past devices using an interactive map • Smart device identification using cloud updated recognizers • Display detailed information about a devices including is maker and model • Search Google for more information about the device • Get directions to the last known location of the device • Locate a device indoors using a signal strength meter • Locate a device outdoors using a heat map and signal graph • Outdoor direction finder saves time when searching • Display the directions on the map to triangulate the location

Built by a court-qualified forensic examiner: chain-of-custody and consent-to-search documentation you can complete, sign, and export at the scene — fully offline, encrypted on device, no account, no cloud. Everything runs on-device. Look up an artifact location at a scene, convert a FILETIME value on a flight, or document a matter in a facility with no signal — the toolkit works the same everywhere. DOCUMENTATION • Evidence Forms — chain-of-custody and consent-to-search documentation with on-device signature capture. A completed form locks; corrections create a new version instead of overwriting the record. • Case Workspace — organize matters, evidence items, and notes in an encrypted, on-device workspace. • Exports — PDF and JSON generated locally, with a clear disclaimer. Deterministic: the same case produces the same bytes every time. REFERENCE • Artifact Reference — where forensic artifacts live across the operating systems you encounter in the field, with what each one does and does not establish. • File Signature Database — identify files by their magic bytes; search by hex, extension, or type, with a hex quick-view. • Calculators — timestamp (Unix epoch, FILETIME, WebKit, Cocoa, GPS), storage-size, hash, and base conversions, each validated against a published test-vector suite. • Dashboard — resume recent work and pin the tools you use most. BUILT FOR THE WITNESS STAND DFIR Toolkit never touches your evidence. It does not acquire, image, parse, or analyze data, and it produces no findings or opinions — so nothing in it can be attacked as an unvalidated analytical tool, and nothing you do here can alter a working copy. It documents your process and answers your lookups; your validated tools and your judgment do the examination. PRIVATE AND OFFLINE BY DESIGN • No data collection — the app declares "Data Not Collected." • No account, and no network connection required for any feature. • Case data and captured signatures are encrypted at rest on your device. • Full Dynamic Type and VoiceOver support; dark mode throughout. FREE AND PRO The reference side is free: the File Signature Database, all four calculators, the iOS artifact reference, and the Dashboard. DFIR Toolkit Pro unlocks the documentation side — Evidence Forms, Case Workspace, deterministic PDF and JSON exports, and the complete artifact library.
