Computer Forensic Lab Solutions

There are many data storage devices/media that may be encountered whilst searches are being conducted during criminal investigations. These are often valuable sources of evidence which, if dealt with in an evidentially acceptable manner, may enhance the investigation.

It’s very important for polices and other law enforcement agencies to set up their own in-house computer forensic data recovery lab for efficient and secure crime investigation.

Many computer forensic examiners are using computer forensic software or data recovery software to investigate and recover the potential evidence but most cases they are able to handle are those with functioning storage media and devices, for damaged/inaccessible storage media or devices, they usually need to deliver to a third party or a higher authority. The problem is the lost efficiency, lost guaranteed data confidentiality and even failure to deal with the cases.

So when you plan to set up one in-house computer forensic lab, you need to consider the following configurations:

1: On-site Crime Scene Computer Forensics Equipment;

* Fast forensic data acquisition;

* Featured files forensic data acquisition;

* Iphone Forensics

2: Computer Forensics Lab Investigation Equipment

* Malfunctioning Hard Drive Investigation

* Flash drives’ and chip-off forensics

* Server forensic investigation platform

3: Computer Forensics Lab Clean Room Investigation

* Restore the physically damaged hard drives for further investigation

Clean room computer forensics is not a day or two days’ work, a large amount of practice makes it perfect until you are very sure of your skills. Computer forensic analysts mostly cannot afford to a small mistake and they must be well prepared and authorized to do the job.

For computer forensics analysts, they are required to understand different storage media’s data storage principles, physical structure, running modes and repairing methods and tips. The most important are the best practice of performing forensic data recovery.

Recommended computer forensic software: Encase, FTK
Recommended computer forensic data recovery hardware: Data Compass, HD Doctor Suite, Flash Doctor, HD HPE PRO

Computer Forensic Data Recovery Equipment Recovering Damaged Storage Devices

If you have watched “NCIS,” “Criminal Minds,” or “Hawaii Five-O”, you have seen how amazing data loss prevention and data recovery technologies and equipment are used to recover damaged or intentionally wiped storage devices.In fact, in each of these shows, the “techies” enjoy an entire room of sophisticated data recovery equipment that allows them to recover critical evidence and information leading to a crime’s solution.

In the real world of computer forensics, however, data loss prevention and data recovery are far more primitive. Most organizations rely on specific software solutions or upon online backup storage systems, neither of which is fully secure and neither of which is effective when storage devices are corrupted or damaged in some manner. Establishing an entire in-house solution, moreover, requires computer forensic equipment and data recovery equipment which has traditionally required huge expense and rigorous, costly training.

Fortunately, like everything else in the world of technology, computer forensics has evolved, and there are now more reasonable equipment solutions and training that allow both public and private organizations and businesses to fully protect their information and data flow, by maintaining data recover equipment and computer forensic equipment on-site.

Consider these scenarios:

1. A large university has a complete student database, including all student academic, financial, and personal records. It is using an online backup service, in the event of data loss on its campus. Unfortunately, the online backup service is “hacked,” and this student information is now in the hands of unscrupulous individuals who can do what they will with this wealth of information! There would have been no need to use an online backup service in the first place, if there were equipment on-site that would prevent loss or allow recovery of data, in the event of storage device damage.
2. A medium-sized business has a healthy customer base and maintains records of customer information and purchases. An employee, either by accident or by intention, corrupts or damages a storage device, and the information is lost. The business owners will now have to locate and employ an outsider who has the data recovery equipment necessary to retrieve the records. If, on the other hand, the owners had purchased their own data loss prevention equipment in the first place, or if the owners already had data recovery equipment and trained individuals, the crisis would have been prevented, at best, or now solved through recovery.

The point is this: software and online solutions are fallible, and critical and confidential information is at risk! Any business, public, financial, or educational organization can now have its own in-house computer forensics lab with its own equipment and its own highly trained staff members. The cost is more reasonable than one would expect, the training is impeccable, and the peace of mind is priceless!

Contact us today at either www.recoverytoolsrus.com or www.salvationdata.com and let’s discuss your specific needs and the potential solutions we can provide. Our experience and our record of providing perfect equipment and training solutions are un-matched, designed to meet individual customer need, and will provide any organization with the ability to solve is loss or recovery issues.

Technology Crime Investigation Equipment

When it comes to technology crime investigation, the focus we can see is ‘Technology’!  Technology crime investigation is much more difficult and advanced than traditional crime investigation.  Technology crime investigation has become one of the greatest challenges many law enforcement agencies face today.

Technology crime investigation  is usuallly  made up of  investigators, prosecutors and security professionals to promote, aid encourage and effect the voluntary interchange of data, experience, information, knowledge and ideas about processes, procedures, methods, and techniques relating to investigations and security in advanced technologies, and new technologies introduced into the field of forensic investigation for crime and the law. These professionals are firstly trained for a special purpose of crime investigation using some special equipment and then assigned to different posts to fullfill their responsibilities.

One core part of technology of technology crime investigation is the retrieval of digital evidences by computer forensics examination. Besides analyzing digital evidences at file system level,  investigators for technology crime investigation are also required to analyze the digital evidences of damaged/corrupted storage devices at a firmware level, physical level or chip-off level.

Now more and more law enforcement agencies are beginning to realize the importance to set up their own professional in-house data recovery lab for comprehensive evidence retrieval capabilities. They need professional data recovery equipment, especially for corrupted storage devices, for failed hard drives, damaged flash devices, etc. What’s more, they need professional data recovery training and forensic recovery training courses to use those tools correctly to ensure the data integrity and validity. We are here providing you with one-stop data recovery equipment, disk image equipment, chip-off flash recovery equipment and other forensic friendly equipment plus with different types of data recovery training courses.
