We also offer Computer Exploitation: the main difference between Forensics and Exploitation is cost. Exploitation Computer Exploitation is a very fast nethod to recover only what you are looking for and does not include the inspection of files that you have no interest in.
Computer Exploitation is
branch of forensic science pertaining to legal evidence found in computers and digital storage mediums. The difference is in what is collected from the exhibit. In computer exploitation we search for a pre-selected set of evidence and return only those results to the customer. Therefore, the customer is not deluged with files which are meaningless to the investigation at hand. The customer receives just those user created files which contain evidence that concerns their case.
Computer Exploitation adheres to standards of evidence admissible in a court of law. Computer forensics experts investigate data storage devices, (such as hard drives, USB Drives, CD-ROMs, floppy disks, tape drives, etc.), identifying, preserving, and then analyzing sources of documentary or other digital evidence.
Computer Forensics
Evidence discovery is a major challenge in today’s business environment. Assistance from computer investigation experts is imperative for electronic discovery, preservation of data, computer forensics and readiness planning, throughout the litigation cycle.
Computer Forensics' certified professionals, provide the following services for attorneys:
- Imaging of hard drives in a forensically sound manner (EnCase, DD, or FTK)
- Recovery of deleted files, emails, instant messages, pictures, audio and video files
- Discovery of evidence of websites visited and time spent viewing each website
- Discovery of evidence of internet downloads, faxes sent and received
- Preservation of legal chain of custody and forensic integrity of data
- Development of detailed report of findings and recommendations pertinent to case
Network Forensics: one of our devices works much like commercial "sniffers" and other network diagnostic tools used by ISPs every day, except that it provides the us with a unique ability to distinguish between communications which may be intercepted and those which may not. For example, if a our customer wants the lawful interception of one type of communication (e.g., e-mail), but excludes all other communications (e.g., online shopping) the tool can be configured to intercept only those e-mails being transmitted either to or from the named subject. ... [it] is a very specialized network analyzer or "sniffer" which runs as an application program on a normal personal computer under the Microsoft Windows operating system. It works by "sniffing" the proper portions of network packets and copying and storing only those packets which match a finely defined filter set programmed in conformity with the court order. This filter set can be extremely complex, and this provides the we with an ability to collect transmissions which comply with pen register court orders, trap & trace court orders, Title III interception orders, etc.... ...It is important to distinguish now what is meant by "sniffing." The problem of discriminating between users' messages on the Internet is a complex one. However, this is exactly what we do. It does NOT search through the contents of every message and collect those that contain certain key words like "sex" or "drugs." It selects messages based on criteria expressly set out in the court order, for example, messages transmitted to or from a particular account or to or from a particular user.
