Digital Forensics

Digital forensics & data recovery.

From recovering lost accounting documents after a drive failure, to indexing and recovering evidence for legal proceedings. If the data existed, there is usually a way back to it.

Our Specialties

What we recover.

File Recovery

Simple through to advanced recovery from working or physically damaged hardware.

Locked Device Access

Credential discovery or bypass on locked Apple, Windows and Linux devices.

Dead & Bricked Media

Repair and data recovery from failed USB drives and hard drives.

Corrupted Data

Reconstitution of corrupted files and damaged file systems.

Cryptography Review

Identification of vulnerabilities in cryptographic implementations.

Hidden & Deleted Data

Recovery of data that was concealed, wiped, or thought to be gone.

Manual Analysis

Where the tooling stops, we keep going.

Forensic Analysis & Hidden Data Discovery

No stone is left unturned. Automated tooling gets you part of the way; the rest is manual analysis by someone who knows what they are looking at.

  • Indexing and organization of visible and deleted files
  • Hidden and encrypted partition identification
  • Basic cryptanalysis
  • Raw data iteration for hidden strings
  • Manual file, image and audio review
  • Activity timeline construction
  • Automated device activity indexing

Data Recovery

The first step is to do nothing at all. Continuing to use a failing drive is the single most common way recoverable data becomes unrecoverable. Power it down and call us.

Cryptanalysis & Data Integrity

We will tell you honestly what is achievable. Some cryptography simply cannot be broken in a way that is economical, and you deserve to know that before you spend money finding out.

  • Algorithmic attacks on ciphertext
  • Implementation vulnerability discovery
  • Key store and HSM attacks
  • Cold boot attacks and memory dumps
  • Custom tooling for key recovery
