Operate Devices and Extract Information Over USB While Shielded From RF Signals
SKU: MDFB-BBT-USB
The Mission Darkness™ BlockBox Touch USB is a collapsible faraday enclosure with a built-in conductive glove, device preview window, large interior space, and a dual-sided USB filter with external cable lock allowing the operator to access and extract data on scene, as well as connect to a charging source. Designed specifically for law enforcement and military forensic investigators, the BlockBox Touch USB allows users to operate touch screens in order to conduct cell phone and tablet triage, analysis, and extraction while keeping devices shielded inside. With the high-speed USB filter, time-sensitive data can be extracted in hours, not days. Additionally, being able to keep devices charged indefinitely prevents lockout mode and reduces the amount of time needed to break a passcode, enabling the maximum amount of data extraction and unlocking with tools like GrayKey, Cellebrite, XRY, BlackBag, Oxygen, etc.
The BlockBox Touch USB is built with padded side walls and water-resistant ballistic nylon outer material to ensure that devices and faraday fabric stay protected. The interior faraday chamber includes two layers of high-shielding TitanRF™ Faraday Fabric on all sides with dual paired seam construction. The faraday chamber will block all wireless signals including WiFi (2.4 & 5GHz), Bluetooth, cell signals including 5G networks, GPS, RFID, NFC, and radio signals from low MHz to 40GHz.
The faraday chamber uses a patented NeoLok™ closure system, allowing an operator to effortlessly close the faraday chamber by way of a double roll and strong neodymium magnetic seal holding the roll in place. A quick-snap strap over the roll provides extra security, which is especially useful if transporting shielded devices inside to various locations, such as from the collection site to the lab. This type of closure is preferred for forensic use since the faraday chamber can be opened easily with a glove. The magnetic closure increases the product's overall longevity, compared to faraday enclosures built with Velcro which can damage gloves and wear out with frequent use due to "hard pulling" on the closure area.
The kit includes a high-quality Cable Set (including a universal angle USB A/M to A/M, lightning to USB, micro USB, USB-C, and USB extension), usage instructions, a signal-dampening foam block (which provides a platform to take photos of devices, as well as additional shielding in high-signal strength environments), a stylus, and a slim carrying case to hold the accessories and collapsed BlockBox Touch USB. The kit can be transported in a backpack or small bag, making it the perfect analysis enclosure for lab and field operations.

Recently Enhanced With an Integrated Cable Lock Feature
The newest model of the bag includes a cable lock on the external side of the shielded USB filter to prevent the cable from disconnecting unintentionally. This innovative feature was introduced in December 2023 and is not yet shown in the demo video.

USB Filter & Cable Details
The shielded USB filter enables dual-sided device connectivity, allowing a device to be charged or have data extracted while remaining isolated from RF signals. The kit includes a USB extension cable that connects to the inside of the USB filter. This makes it easy to connect a device internally using a compatible USB cable tip (a variety of commonly used cable tips are included). The included USB A/M to A/M cable can be used on the external side of the filter to connect to a power source or extraction tool.
*If you are using your own cables (not ones we provided in the kit), be aware that all cables used to connect to the USB filter both internally and externally need to be SHIELDED.
Soft-sided and portable analysis enclosure can be taken to any location for device operation, interrogation, and triage

Optional Accessories
These accessories are often added to BlockBox Touch USB kit because they enable short term charging capabilities, which may be required during transportation or until the analysis enclosure can be connected to a long term power source. Simply add the accessory you want to your cart.
