Recovery of Deleted Files
You may have heard the saying "delete does not mean 'delete'". If the data is important enough to the case and cost will not be the issue, data that has been deleted has an extremely good chance of being recovered. Even data that has been overwritten can still contain enough information to produce a smoking gun.Single disk drives, RAIDs, thumb drives, smart media, cell phones and backup tapes are just a handful of the media that forensic evidence can be recovered from. Windows, Mac, Linux, DOS, Netware VMS are just a few of the software applications our forensic investigators have experience with.
Detailed Analysis
Pulling the pieces together in a report that can hold up in court is crucial.The goal of our investigators is to produce a report in an electronic format that can be easily understood and followed. These reports generally have a look and feel of windows explorer with folders on the left and when opened, the files in question open on the right.
These folders and files are complied based on your input such as critical events, dates, times and keywords. The reports include files that were active and could have been visible to laymen or information that had been deleted or overwritten.
