25.01.2022 Forensics services reinvented

24.01.2022 Simple, intuitive, engaging

23.01.2022 The Data Recovery Expert Vs The Computer Forensics Specialist The data recovery expert Generally, for the data recovery expert, they will receive a storage medium from the client (in the case of larger RAID units, the expert may need to work via the internet or directly on site) with the request to recover lost data.... The expert will run an analysis to find out about the opportunities for a successful data recovery. After this step, the expert will have a good idea as to how much data (if any) can be recovered, and at what price. A detailed diagnostic report would then be provided with a complete list of recoverable files and their status. If the customer gives the green light, the actual data recovery can be started. Depending on what triggered the data loss and what storage media is involved, the way in which information is recovered will differ. If the data is lost due to hardware damage, bringing the storage medium back to life is relatively straightforward. Professional data recovery experts not only have a large stock of popular controllers and read/write heads, they also have excellent contacts with the manufacturers. A data recovery expert needs to be able to handle a lot of programs and in part, self-developed-tools. Thats because even on the software side, a lot can be wrong, which has to be straightened -be it corrupted metadata, or false low-level information needed for basic disk operation. It becomes a problem when an SSD has an encrypted controller. If the necessary key is missing here, the data recovery professional is usually not in a position to save data. Computer forensics specialist One of the main differences between the data recovery expert and the computer forensics specialist is the cooperation of the client. Computer forensic experts mainly have to retrieve data in relation to a crime, and obviously, the culprit of the crime does not want the data found! The storage medium will be sent to the computer forensics specialist via the investigating officer, rather than the owner of the data as this is normally the individual being investigated. Although the methods used for the retrieving lost data are very similar in both professions, the data recovery expert is ultimately not interested in the content of the data saved, while the forensic scientist is. This is because the computer forensics specialist must conduct a structured investigation, documenting evidence that enables the court to determine what has happened to the IT system and who is responsible for it. For example, an IT forensics report might include information on the identity or identification of the offender, the period and extent of the crime and information on the motivation and execution of the crime. As you can see, both jobs are very similar in the way that they retrieve data but the reasons behind why they are retrieving the data are very different!

23.01.2022 DFLAB Linux Forensic Edition Performance Results (on a regular computer): Computer: HP Laptop, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD OS: DFLAB Forensic Edition Target: 120GB SSD External USB 3.0... Destination: 500GB SSD External USB 3.0 Speed: Physical Forensic Image Completed in 6min 50sec. = 278.52MB/Sec approx. Use Cases: o Search warrant at an organisation with a large number of computers. Use to search, preview and collect information from each computer and then decide which to fully image first. o Collect only a subset of folders (such as for a specific user) that you have consent for. o Time-sensitive situation where you want to prioritise what files get collected.

23.01.2022 To make matters worse, the researchers at Malwarebytes contacted Assurance Wireless with their findings and asked why a US-funded device was being sold with pre-installed malware. So far, they have received no reply after giving adequate time for a response.

23.01.2022 What Type of Forensic Image Should You Choose? There are three main methods of forensic imaging: physical, logical, or targeted. The benefits and disadvantages of each depend on the particulars of your case. Physical A physical image of a hard drive captures all the ones and zeroes contained on the drive. It also captures the deleted space on the drive (even if it has been recently formatted), deleted files and file fragments. Therefore a physical image of a 500 GB drive wi...ll yield a resulting image file of 500 GB. This the most thorough type of forensic image. It is useful for cases where you suspect evidence has been deleted or tampered with and where metadata is an important factor. Logical A logical image of a hard drive captures all active data. Typically deleted files, space and file fragments will not be captured. So if a logical image is made of a 500 GB drive, but only 50 GB contain active files, the resulting image will be 50 GB. This is perfect for cases where you are concerned only with the information contained on the drive. Targeted Sometimes you know the exact set of files or documents you need for your case. Those files can then be selectively copied to an image file in what is referred to as a targeted collection. This can greatly decrease costs and labor as you have a much smaller data set to work with from the beginning.

22.01.2022 Setting an absolute standard that dictates 'preserve everything but change nothing' is not only inconsistent with other forensic disciplines but also is dangerous in a legal context. Conforming to such a standard may be impossible in some circumstances and, therefore, postulating this standard as the 'best practice' only opens digital evidence to criticisms that have no bearing on the issues under investigation.

17.01.2022 Weekly topic: Are there any court-approved mobile forensic tools?... There is no such thing as a court-approved mobile forensic device or standard forensic tool certification applicable to all the different legal systems across the globe. In general, a forensic tool has to demonstrate that it is fit for purpose in each independent nation, state or local legal system where it is used.

12.01.2022 There is weak integration of digital forensics and forensic science, despite over a decade of effort to break down the borders between them. As more criminal investigations involve digital traces in increasing amounts and complexity, the quality of digital forensic results is decreasing and comprehension of cybercrime is diminishing. The consequences of errors and omissions in digital forensics include imprisoning innocent people, leaving dangerous criminals free to perpetrat...e additional crimes, and continuing victimization of the organizations and people targeted by offences. To mitigate these risks it is necessary to harmonize digital forensics and forensic science, and to strengthen knowledge management throughout decentralized forensic ecosystems. To drive the needed harmonization and knowledge management, there are two essential roles: the investigative advisor with operational experience, and the forensic advisor with scientific background. These advisors can negotiate the borders between police, digital forensic specialists, criminal intelligence analysts and attorneys to cultivate a criminal justice system that treats digital traces effectively, has visibility across criminal activities, and addresses crime and security more strategically.
