The biggest mistake made during device collection is not using a faraday bag. If the device data is remotely wiped prior to analysis, the evidence is gone. Extract digital evidence with ease using these steps In today's world, cell phones have become an integral part of our lives. We use them for communication, entertainment, and for conducting business. As such, they have become a potential source of digital evidence that can be useful in criminal investigations or civil litigation. Digital forensics experts must use the latest tools to preserve digital evidence on cell phones to ensure the integrity and credibility...

In today's technology-driven world, we are surrounded by electronic devices that emit electromagnetic fields (EMF) radiation. EMF are a form of non-ionizing radiation (their frequency is somewhere between microwaves and radio waves). This radiation is invisible, but can be measured by hand-held EMF detection meters. Common sources of EMF in the home include televisions, mobile phones, computers, remote controls, radios, Wi-Fi routers, baby monitors, microwave ovens, smart lighting and smart meters, power lines, and electrical wiring. A growing and substantial amount of published scientific research links this wireless radiation to serious health effects on health—such as memory and sleep problems,...

In secure facilities such as military bases and SCIFs, protecting sensitive and classified information is a top priority. As technology continues to evolve, new threats emerge that require specialized solutions. One such solution is RF shielded lockers. These lockers are designed to block all radio frequency signals, preventing devices stored inside from sending or receiving any data. Unshielded Lockers Pose a Risk The main problem with standard cell phone and mobile device storage lockers is the fact that they do not block RF signals. This may be sufficient for schools and some offices, but it is not sufficient for high-level...

When a digital device is seized as part of a criminal investigation, it is important to not only transport it in a secure RF shielded enclosure, but also keep it charged and live until it is examined by a digital forensics investigator. These combined efforts enables maximum password and data recovery using tools such as GrayKey,...

Protection Against an Electromagnetic Pulse (EMP) Is More Important Than Ever An electromagnetic pulse, referred to as an EMP, is a burst of high-frequency electromagnetic radiation that can occur naturally or be man-made. This powerful surge of energy can cause widespread damage to electronic devices, leading to permanent loss of data, malfunction, or complete failure of the affected equipment. With the increasing threat of EMP attacks and solar flares, protecting electronic devices from this harmful phenomenon is more important than ever. Faraday bags, cages, and RF shielding enclosures are simple solutions to protect against EMP damage. These enclosures are made...
