Digital forensic tools and techniques

CCL-Forensics is committed to staying at the forefront of the digital forensics industry. To achieve this, the company employs a number of full-time dedicated research and development analysts to devise and validate new forensically-sound tools and internal systems to ensure maximum productivity.

As technology continues to advance, the challenges facing digital forensic analysts become more and more complex. But here at CCL-Forensics, we believe that this offers a major opportunity in the world of digital evidence, as devices are capable of holding a much larger quantity of data. "Standard" forensic tools may not extract this data, but CCL-Forensics is constantly developing more and better forensic tools to enable its analysts to extract this potentially valuable evidence.

This page will be regularly updated with details of our R&D advancements, showcasing the tools and techniques we can use to extract more data from more devices in our secure forensic laboratories.

MWCT - Mobile web cache technique

Web history from mobile phones can prove crucial in investigations, yielding data about a suspect's internet usage, social networking history, webmail etc.  This technique interprets this data.

CCL-Forensics has developed a new in-house technique to interpret potentially vital evidence from the web cache of a range of mobile phones.

Many handsets will record web history in these cache files, and they can be extracted using forensic techniques.

Unless, however, they can be INTERPRETED - they will not yield evidence which could be vital to a case.

The technique is used exclusively by CCL-Forensics' analysts in the company's 10,000sqft state-of-the-art laboratory, and can provide investigators with a greatly enhanced level of evidence including web history, social networking history, webmail and others.
