COMPUTER FORENSICS SERVICES AND TOOLS

 

As a Computer Forensics specialist company, we are able to investigate any computer, digital media, hard drive or network for evidence of improper conduct, computer misuse, information theft, cyber crime and any form of criminal behaviour whose digital fingerprints can be researched and found. Our fully trained computer forensics experts can also help company directors, solicitors, lawyers, investigators and prosecutors to find digital evidence and present it in a format admissible in court or industrial tribunal or as part of an investigation.

Our job as computer forensics experts is to accurately extract data from storage media and examine it for potentially relevant information or evidence. Collecting key evidence by examining all the data in a digital medium based on the customer brief, enables computer forensics experts to build a complete snapshot of what an individual or business was exactly doing at the time data was written onto the storage medium housed in a PC, laptop, external hard disk, memory stick or network attached storage device.

As as example, all web-based personal email messages using Hotmail, Yahoo! and Gmail can be retrieved and investigated. Furthermore, Computer Forensics Lab investigators are able to examine and investigate w
eb searches and web usage history in full detail even if they have been deliberately deleted by the user. Hidden files which have been removed, disguised, compressed or encrypted can be discovered and forensically examined.

Typical user activities that can be investigated include applications or software used, timeline of any user activity, installation of any malicious software or key loggers, remote user access activities and so on. Once a full forensics investigation has been carried out, the computer forensics expert can determine what files were deleted from the computer; which applications were installed/uninstalled; which websites were visited; when the computer was last used; what data was copied or transferred from the computer via email or a memory stick or what data or files were shared between the users.

In order to meet the specific needs of our clients, we use a wide variety of forensic tools.  Our main computer forensic analysis tools include EnCase and Forensic ToolKit.  Depending on the case at hand and in order to achieve the best possible results, our digital forensics specialists use their customised computer forensics tools as well as the following tools:

  • HELIX & CAINE

Assessment and analysis of the findings of the digital forensics report, will reveal whether or not any breach of agreement or crime took place and if so, to what extent he or she was involved or implicated in the wrongdoing.
