Evidence Preservation
Even if no forensic analysis is necessary at the time of submission, we can forensically acquire digital devices to preserve the data for later use.
JTAG and Chip-Off Forensics
Where most digital forensics labs stop, we take it to the next level. Flashback Data can get data from devices that most labs just set aside. We use several advanced techniques in our data recovery lab to assist our forensic investigators with their investigations when our standard forensic tools either do not support a device or cannot get past a passcode-locked device. We have developed techniques to work with the Joint Test Action Group (JTAG) pins on a particular device to do this.
Without access to the memory through JTAG, a Flashback Data digital forensic investigator employs chip-off recovery techniques. Chip-off recovery is a more invasive but successful method of recovering digital evidence through the device’s flash memory. These methods often prove particularly helpful to law enforcement in criminal justice cases.
Data Reconstruction
We perform forensic data reconstruction for all types of media. Often necessary data is stored in multiple locations and numerous different formats. Whether the data you need is scattered or incomplete, our experts can perform data reconstruction. This allows you to have all the data you need in one location. Once we have identified data sources, we will extract and combine data, standardize the data into one format, validate the data, and perform any required analytics. At this point, we can provide further guidance or expert witness testimony.
Forensic Media Examination and Analysis
We extract and examine data and digital evidence from any media type during our thorough examination process. Our Class 10 clean room enables us to do this without contaminating evidence. We carefully analyze data and provide a detailed report of findings supporting your case. Our methods and software are validated to safeguard the data evidence found on computers and mobile devices. We provide our clients with official laboratory reports which outline our findings in a user-friendly format.
Expert Testimony
Flashback Data offers a wide array of expert services pre- and post-case. Our digital forensic expert witness and testimony services include consulting, assistance in drafting motions, depositions, expert witness testimony, and affidavits. Our experts have backgrounds in technology, intelligence, and law enforcement. We have testified in State and Federal courts countless times and have the experience you need on your side.
Learn More About Our Accredited Crime Laboratory
While accreditation of crime laboratories is required in Texas, certification of individual Forensic Scientists is not currently required. However, voluntary certification is available to the forensic scientist and is recognized as an additional quality assurance and credentialing measure.
During the 84th Legislative Session in 2015, the Texas Legislature passed SB-1287, which requires all forensic analysts to be licensed beginning January 1, 2019.
