Notice!

Since upgrading .net version earlier this year (and adding additional functionality), Windows Defender has been flagging ArtEx as a Trojan named AgentTesla.

Other anti-virus tools don't seem to have an issue; and that includes Microsoft's offline scanning tool. Nevertheless, I would recommend running the download through an AV of your choice prior to installing.
Windows Defender will delete the ArtEx2.dll as soon as you run the app which will obviously cause a crash. It has been submitted for whitelisting, but in the meantime, it requires adding to an exlcusion list manually (Instructions here).

ArtEx is a free tool for iOS Forensics Verification, Validation, Reporting and Research. It can ingest some of the most common extraction types and also allows for live connection to jailbroken devices via SSH. A full guide on ArtEx2 features can be found here

Minor bug fixes to Advanced SQL Recovery.
Added a new counter mechanism to Locations.

HUGE UPDATE!! But first... Be aware that Windows defender may report this as a Trojan (AgentTesla) but this is a false positive related to the interop with Excel. Running the application through any other Virus Scanner (including Microsoft's own downloadable AV solution) provides no such warning. It is likely that you will have to select the "Allow on Device" option in Windows Defender to allow installation. Now onto the fun stuff:

• Much better handing of iTunes Backups (Faster & Better organization)
• Support for Adv.Logical & UFDR (Files only)
• KTX Support
• JPGs visible in Plists
• KML Import into Locations Parser
• Create Locations from Databases
• Updated appearance
• Multi-Hex Search
• SEGB v2 Support
• OCR that works (I hope!)
• Language Translation options for messages
• Many resolved bugs
• New User Guide
• KTX Support
• Lots of locations features!
