Explore the growing complexity of digital devices, the challenges of extracting and validating encrypted data, and how to determine whether the information recovered truly reflects what is available.
Watch the Recording
This session guides digital investigators beyond basic tool operation by outlining a structured investigative methodology grounded in UK legislation, demonstrating practical enquiry techniques in XAMN, and showing how to turn findings into clear, persuasive evidence through effective visualization and reporting.
Watch the Recording
Learn how to navigate evolving mobile acquisition challenges through effective preservation strategies, an understanding of temporal and security artifacts, AFU/BFU distinctions, best‑practice workflows, and techniques for identifying and countering anti‑forensic methods to strengthen evidence recovery.
Watch the Recording
Explore how manufacturer‑specific Android customizations affect forensic analysis through case studies on Pixel, Samsung, Xiaomi, and Oppo, highlighting which artifacts remain consistent, which vary widely, and how to adapt acquisition and examination strategies across different Android ecosystems.
Watch the Recording
Printed screenshots offer limited evidentiary value, and this session explains why they must be corroborated through direct forensic analysis of the originating device to ensure authenticity, completeness, and reliability.
Watch the Recording
Examine how remote‑wipe functions and “dead man’s switch” apps on iOS and Android operate, the artifacts they leave behind, and whether the targeted data is truly destroyed, highlighting the forensic challenges these tools create.
Watch the Recording
Gain insight into the forensic significance of images stored in /private/var/mobile/Library/Intents/Images/ by learning how to correlate UUID‑named files with App Intent Biome data, parse nested structures like protobuf, bplist, and Base64, and determine image provenance—revealing why interpreting this artifact in relation to user actions is so challenging.
Watch the Recording
Discover how open‑source forensic tools support acquisition, analysis, and evidence recovery while enhancing transparency, accessibility, and seamless integration into professional and research workflows.
Watch the Recording
Learn the practical skills needed to build and manage open‑source forensic tools—from Python environments and PyInstaller packaging to compiling C/C++ programs like PhotoRec on Linux—so you can confidently integrate custom software into your workflow and validate results through a deeper understanding of the underlying code.
Watch the Recording
Discover how to recover web‑browsing evidence on Windows systems even after history deletion by uncovering lesser‑known forensic artifacts scattered across the OS, helping examiners reconstruct visited‑site activity despite user attempts to hide their tracks.
Watch the Recording
Learn how the absence of mobile artifacts can become critical evidence by examining system behavior, power states, and low‑level logs to identify intentional device inactivity—and how examiners can recognize when “nothing” is the correct answer and apply deeper reasoning beyond push‑button workflows.
Watch the Recording
Discover how to identify cryptocurrency related artifacts on mobile phones and explain how to translate them into operational intelligence.
Watch the Recording
See how MSAB tools use Project VIC hash intelligence to help investigators prioritize cases, identify previously unknown victims, and create and share new hash data with thousands of professionals worldwide.
Watch the Recording
Understand how the FACT Attribution Framework helps examiners move from artifacts to defensible, evidence‑based conclusions through a clear, repeatable structure that strengthens attribution and withstands scrutiny.
Watch the Recording
This session highlights the intertwined mental and physical health challenges faced by law enforcement officers and explains practical strategies for surviving and sustaining long‑term wellbeing through proactive, agency‑supported wellness practices.
Watch the Recording
Examine emerging cybercrimes that use fake digital arrests, social engineering, surveillance, and financial extortion to psychologically coerce victims into remote online exploitation or forced labor.
Watch the Recording
See how life‑pattern analysis can turn fragmented digital activity into a coherent investigative narrative, revealing patterns, anomalies, and critical moments, even in cases with little physical evidence or witnesses, and reshaping how examiners interpret small actions that collectively transform an investigation.
Watch the Recording
Digital forensic investigators face growing data volumes, mounting backlogs, and frequent exposure to traumatic material, creating significant operational pressures and mental‑health risks. This webinar explores those challenges while highlighting how the Child Rescue Coalition’s initiatives, supported by MSAB tools like early hash matching and Hash Tree Builder, can reduce duplicate review, limit exposure, and promote more sustainable, trauma‑aware forensic practices.
