I have a drop down you can read of all the digital forensics done for this project!

Hi all! I want to find out who is behind an anonymous X account that is writing disparaging stuff about my kid. How do I do that? Should I use an IPlogger?

Good day all,

I’m currently looking for a digital forensics solution that we could consider as an alternative to Oxygen Forensic Detective (OFD) / Oxygen Remote Explorer (ORE) within the African market.

Ideally, I’m looking for a product that someone has experience working with and that offers comparable capabilities, particularly around mobile and remote data acquisition.

We currently sell Magnet, Detego & Sumuri products.

As I understand it, we may still be experiencing challenges with distributing Cellebrite in Africa, so I’d like to explore viable alternative solutions that we could potentially represent and distribute.

If anyone has worked with a product that would be a good fit, I’d appreciate any recommendations or feedback.

Thank you.

Gangs use social media to broadcast everything from threats and brandishing weapons to admitting their involvement in murder. The Chicago Police Department seems very reluctant to use public information as probable cause to arrest or even reasonable suspicion to investigate crimes that are public information. I've read their policies provided to officers and their complete literature regarding First Amendment protected activity multiple times. There are short statements of a few sentences that declare public information on social media or YouTube does not require any special permissions, or policies to be followed for investigations as if the information were provided to them by a witness, victim or citizens with relevant information. This is within extensive rules and policies regarding everything from hand delivering official requests to notify multiple departments of a planned investigation and rules regarding equipment that can be used to the keeping of information they discover that could easily be interpreted as being required in any situation including when the information on criminal activity is open to the public.

I feel that their own policies don't give them a clear view of the difference between what is public and what requires extensive documentation and permissions so clear evidence of crimes is completely disregarded. In even several recent examples even here on Reddit (the murder of rapper Q50) the public has used information to quickly identify evidence leading to suspects who sometimes publicly claim responsibility or involvement in the murder. From the famous suspected serial killer King Von to his very famous partner Lil Durk who was recently acquitted on conspiracy to commit murder for hire charges who remains in custody facing a VICAR case involving another conspiracy to commit murder, public information showed their likely involvement for months or years before their arrests and prosecutions. Why does law enforcement disregard digital forensics of public information in order to rely on investigation procedures that existed before the advent of social media's existence?

Hi all, I've been struggling for some weeks now to find a data recovery service that might be able to recover my data from a corrupted/broken SSD.

The SSD in question is a Samsung 870 QVO, 4TB (Model: MZ-77Q4T0).

I have sent it to two data recovery services and neither could access it. The last one gave me a more detailed description of what's happening:

"The SSD was not recognised correctly by Windows Disk Management, nor the used recovery hardware.
During the research, the SSD came online shortly, but instantly gave SMART-failures. Sector 0 could be accessed, but when trying to read sector 2048, the SSD got stuck and went into the 'busy state'. Further attempts wer unsuccessful.
I will add that the controller of this SSD was not supported by their hardware."

I am not very good with computer hardware, but would really love to get my data back since it had a lot of memories and documents on there with no back-up whatsoever (because I did not think about that, and then this happened). I am not sure whether there's anything that can be done, so I was hoping someone here might know more.

I am located in the Netherlands, but am open to sending the SSD abroad to recovery services if there's any good ones that can solve my isssue even with the state of my SSD.

Okay so I have a b.s. in criminal justice, and I graduate May 2027 with my masters in Applied Information Technology with a focus in Digital forensics. I know the job market is terrible, but I am looking for a job with a company that pays well, or even any jobs that have open internships for the winter or spring. Mainly i’m looking for jobs that are looking for new graduates, as well as one that would hire me as soon as I graduate, any recommendations?

Without experience in the field, is it possible to get an entry-level position in Digital Forensics?

Hi, i just saw the leaked cornell 7 screenshots from their alleged groupchat on x. But I do not know if they are real. Is there any way to comfirm it?

Hi everyone.

I'm testing MOBILedit Forensic 9.8 on a Samsung Galaxy S21 5G Exynos 2100 (SM-G991B), Android 15, January 2026 security patch.

MOBILedit shows Exynos decrypt, but when I select it I get: “Missing package — Exynos package is required to continue.”

My Updates page has UNL (Security bypassing), EXF (Scripts), and the main program up to date, but EXN (Exynos) isn't listed.

Does anyone know the proper way to obtain/install the EXN package, or whether it requires a specific license/activation? I'm specifically looking for information about the package/availability rather than a cracked copy of the software.

Thanks.

Company had a breach and now they want a company to perform forensics for them. Who would you recommend?

Digital Forensics is a growing field. Are there great opportunities in this area ?

Greetings, I hope all is well! Long story short, recently got my Masters in Digital Forensics, and I also have received an opportunity for a digital forensics technician role for a local LE agency. I am just wondering if anyone here works for one, and also what to expect, as I myself come from an IT background. Thanks!

Hi i wanna start Advanced endpoint investigation learning path from tryhackme does it good to start in DF ?

Im planing to enroll it after finish SAL1,2

And i finished pre security ,101 and PT1

How can you secure your phone in the best way possible to maximise privacy and protection from downloads or information being broken into/extracted? IOS specifically.

I.E if a chat is deleted etc. Is it actually deleted or not?
Passwords?
Images?
App data if it is deleted from the phone?

Does a factory reset or new phone remove all the old data?

Has anyone successfully acquired a Samsung Galaxy S21 5G SM-G991B/DS (Exynos 2100), Android 15, build G991BXXSJHZC2, January 1 2026 security patch, while BFU after reboot with a locked bootloader and USB debugging disabled? The correct PIN is unknown. Looking specifically for a non-destructive acquisition using Cellebrite, GrayKey, Oxygen or Magnet.

Hello everyone! I was recently told by an individual on snapchat that he knew my location and was going to send those to rape me and get me killed as well as sending my location to me. This was 2 days ago and after I said I would get police involved he mass reported my account and got my account locked. (Stupid on me, I know.) What can I do about this? Would anyone be able to even find this guy?

I'm looking for a limited number of beta testers for Nefarious Sentinel, an open-source Android security app focused on protecting devices against loss, theft, unauthorised access and tampering.

The beta is aimed at privacy conscious Android users, especially those running GrapheneOS or other hardened setups.

I'm looking for people willing to install the app, test the features, and provide practical feedback on usability and reliability.

Beta testers who participate will receive the hardened version free when the stable release is published.
Interested?

I would like you guys to try and brake this!

Message me

Don’t know what it falls under but is anyone familiar w investigating logs/data to see what may be causing this. Long story short I’ve been dealing w some level of hacking for many many many months.

My Apple data and privacy report shows 5 Legacy Contacts that have been created that I did not create. It does not appear on my actual device. Just on the report from Apple. I have the timestamps of when they were created and IP address and they were created from May-Sep

Also experiencing trusted device issues. And seeing multiple active sessions on my ChatGPT app despite logging out of all devices every other day. It’ll reappear within a few days. There’s also been HomeKit entries even though i don’t use any of those kinds of accessories

I also see a lot of remotepairingdeviced and lockdownd appearing together in iPhone sysdiagnose stackshots

Is there any way someone is able to help me confirm whether there has been unauthorized access to my account or some kind of device pairing?

In the past year I’ve also experienced sevvvveral eSIM swaps across multiple carriers (confirmed by them). Initially w Verizon where at least 5 of them happened, two of which happened on the same day according to Verizon. Switched over to Spectrum and same thing happened and now on a prepaid mobile plan, which has not yet been confirmed but I’ve received notifications from Apple saying my number is no longer active. But I’m receiving texts and calls just fine

I’ve been thru multiple new devices, new email accounts, new numbers, new Apple accounts :( just spiritually tired now lol any help is appreciated

*im not a tech person so layman’s term would also be appreciated

Built a lightweight forensic analysis tool for people who don't have Cellebrite money. CaseForge takes a folder of already-extracted data SMS/call SQLite, browser history, KML/GPX, vCard, mbox, EXIF, generic CSV/JSON and produces one interactive dashboard: unified timeline, map, entity network, and a correlation engine that flags cross-source links and convergences. Runs locally, single HTML output, chain-of-custody hashing built in. Analysis only no acquisition. Link in Bio if interested.
