Android Acquirer 346-Parser Registry

Every Artifact Sherlock Forensics Android Acquirer Reads

346 artifact parsers, generated from the registry that does the reading, not written by hand. The same list appears in the product on the What This Build Can Read screen.

346 artifact parsers, organized. Sherlock Forensics Android Acquirer reads what a phone actually holds across 15 categories: messaging, social, browsers, accounts, location, media, calls, cloud, financial and crypto. That includes the vault, burner and hidden apps built to keep evidence out of sight. Search the full list below or jump to any category.

This is the complete parser set for the current build, all 346 registered parsers, published at an examiner's request so anyone can confirm coverage before an acquisition. It is generated from the registry that does the reading, so it cannot list a parser the build does not have or miss one it does. A build check fails if a new parser is added without naming the file it reads, which keeps every export tied to a verifiable source artifact.

Confirm coverage before you acquire

The free edition detects the device and inventories what is present, so you can check these parsers against a specific handset before committing to an acquisition. The Forensic Edition at $399 one-time adds full extraction, court-ready PDF reports with per-artifact SHA-256 hashing and chain of custody.
