Device Forensics
Data Recovery and Analysis:
- We can recover data from phones, tablets and more and prep the data as exhibits for court
- Recovery of deleted files from a device
- Filtering and searching of files by date, time, location, sent or received, etc.
- Isolation of media files (images or videos) by content classification (we can search for and filter for images and videos of people, animals, vehicles, drugs, money, nudity, food, weapons, violence, etc.
We use Cellebrite for the extraction, recovery, and analysis of data from phones, tablets, GPS devices, drones, and more. Cellebrite is used by the FBI, Secret Service, Department of Homeland Security, law enforcement, and forensic experts worldwide.
Location Data Analysis:
- We can find all the location history stored in the device
- This tells us important details about where a phone may have been or not been
- Location data can be used to refute or corroborate an alibi or explanation of where a person may have been
- It can be used to determine what networks a device may have connected to (wifi, bluetooth, cell towers, etc.)
Several enhancement techniques were used to clarify this surveillance video including zooming, tracking, pausing, annotations (yellow arrow), luminance adjustments, trimming, and cropping. Such enhancements allow the viewer to better see what is happening, or perhaps what the subject is holding.
Device Applications and Browsing:
- We can often determine what applications are installed on a device
- When an application was installed
- When and how applications are being used
- Whether a person was actively using an application (such as while driving)
- We can see internet browsing and search history, what sites a device visits, what cookies are present on the device, etc.
Malware and Hacking:
- We have tools to search for malware installed on a device
- We can look for apps designed to log keystrokes and other activities
- We can filter for location-tracking apps
- We can see what devices are attached to the phone (such as smart watched, earbuds, and other bluetooth devices)
Using Laser Scanning technology and LiDAR, a 3-Dimensional model can be made of an area. This model can then be used to measure people, objects, distances, and more. This image is a LiDAR scan from the room where an intruder was captured on surveillance video. By placing elements of the surveillance video into the 3D model, we can determine the height of the unknown subject (the intruder).
