Web Forensics Instant is the digital evidence at your fingertips: using a patented technology, it automatically, quickly, and securely captures the static content of a public web page and transforms it into digital evidence that is valid in legal proceedings. More than a screenshot There are many cases in which digital evidence is absolutely crucial in court, including unfair competition, counterfeiting, defamation, revenge porn, and infringement of patents, copyrights, designs, and trademarks. Despite the widespread belief that a screenshot is sufficient to protect yourself, it should be remembered that screenshots are easily falsified.

Your digital evidence in the blink of an eye Web Forensics Instant is completely free and does not require login credentials to use. To produce digital evidence, simply enter the URL of the web page to be captured, a valid email address, and the language in which you wish to receive the documentation. The system will automatically generate the digital evidence in a few moments and send it to the email address you provided. The digital evidence consists of a forensic evidence package and a technical report in PDF format, which certifies that the content of the web page has been crystallized at a specific moment in time in accordance with the guidelines of the international forensic computing standard ISO/IEC 27037:2012. Compliance with the standard guarantees the authenticity and verifiability of the digital evidence, consolidating its validity in court proceedings.

Recon's advantage is ratings volume (275 vs 1) and device support. On price and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
