Vehicle Forensics

PRESERVE THE
EVIDENCE. EVERY TIME.

Modern vehicles generate 25 GB of data per hour. The moment a seized vehicle enters a Mission Darkness Faraday cover, every wireless connection is severed: no OTA update can overwrite evidence, no remote party can wipe data, and no telematics system can report the vehicle's location.

The Problem

Why RF Isolation Is Required

A seized vehicle is a live wireless device. Without RF isolation, evidence can be altered, destroyed, or exposed between seizure and examination. Three threats make Faraday shielding a forensic necessity, not an option.

🔄
OTA Firmware Updates
Manufacturers push over-the-air updates continuously. An update received after seizure can overwrite ECU logs, infotainment data, and event records before investigators ever connect a forensic tool. RF isolation stops every update channel: cellular, WiFi, and Bluetooth simultaneously.
🚫
Remote Commands & Data Deletion
Connected vehicle platforms including OnStar, Tesla, BMW ConnectedDrive, and manufacturer telematics systems can receive remote commands from suspects, attorneys, or third parties. These commands can delete paired phone data, location history, and certain event logs stored in the vehicle. Note: some evidence may also exist outside the vehicle on manufacturer servers or paired devices, so RF isolation is one layer of a complete forensic protocol.
📍
Telematics Exposure
Unshielded vehicles continue broadcasting GPS coordinates and status data to manufacturer servers after seizure. This can reveal the location of the investigation facility, compromise operational security, and alert suspects that their vehicle has been seized and where it is being held.

The Cover

The CYPHERCYLENT

For active forensic investigations, there is one cover: the Mission Darkness CYPHERCYLENT. Its door-style architecture provides walk-in access so investigators can connect tools, power forensic laptops, and re-enter the vehicle without ever breaking RF isolation. Built to order for any vehicle.

What Investigators Recover

Modern vehicles store forensically relevant data across 70+ onboard computers. RF isolation during acquisition prevents any of this data from being altered, deleted, or transmitted before investigators can extract it.

Data Recoverable from Vehicles
01
GPS History
Recent destinations, favorite locations, waypoints, and full route history with timestamps.
02
Paired Phone Data
Call logs, contacts, SMS messages, emails, and social media feeds synced from connected phones.
03
Event Logs
Door opens/closes, gear shifts, ignition cycles, speed logs, odometer reads, trunk events.
04
Bluetooth Devices
Full history of every device that has connected via Bluetooth, with MAC addresses and timestamps.
05
Infotainment System
Media files, USB/SD card listings, voice commands, search history, and app usage data.
06
ECU & Telematics
Engine performance, braking events, airbag deployment, crash data, OTA update logs.

Forensic acquisition inside a CYPHERCYLENT Faraday vehicle cover
Forensic Acquisition

Controlled Extraction

Inside the Faraday enclosure, investigators connect forensic hardware directly to the vehicle's OBD port and infotainment system. With all wireless signals blocked, the acquisition proceeds without interference from cellular towers, satellite links, or WiFi networks.

Compatible with all major vehicle forensics platforms including Berla iVe, Cellebrite UFED, and Magnet AXIOM. Shielded filter panels support direct OBD-II, power, Ethernet, and USB connections without breaking RF isolation.
  • OBD-II port access for ECU and telematics extraction
  • Direct connection to infotainment head units
  • Filtered power keeps forensic laptops running
  • Zero signal leakage during multi-hour acquisitions
Evidence Integrity

Supporting Chain of Custody

Forensic admissibility depends on demonstrating that evidence was not altered after seizure. A Mission Darkness Faraday vehicle cover provides a documented, certifiable RF isolation environment at every stage of the examination process.

01
Seizure
Vehicle is covered immediately at the scene or upon arrival at the facility. All wireless connections are severed within seconds of deployment. The clock on evidence preservation starts here.
02
Storage
Between examination sessions the cover remains deployed. No OTA update, remote wipe command, or telematics ping can reach the vehicle. Evidence state is preserved exactly as left.
03
Acquisition
Investigators enter through the RFMagLink magnetic door seal or optional vestibule chamber without breaking isolation. Forensic tools connect via shielded filter panels to OBD-II, power, and Ethernet ports.
04
Documentation
The investigator photographs the cover deployed on the vehicle, logs the case number, date, time, and facility location, and signs the chain-of-custody form. Any personnel who accessed the enclosure are recorded. This contemporaneous record establishes that RF isolation was maintained continuously from seizure through acquisition and is available for disclosure in court proceedings.
Re-Entry Requirement

Does Your Workflow
Require Re-Entry?

If investigators need to enter the vehicle during acquisition—to connect a forensic laptop, access the OBD-II port directly, or run multi-hour Berla iVe sessions—the vestibule section is the critical add-on.

The vestibule is a secondary RF-shielded entry chamber attached to the main door. It functions as an airlock: the investigator opens the outer door, steps inside, closes it behind them, then opens the inner door into the shielded enclosure. At no point is the interior exposed to outside RF. Queued OTA updates, remote wipe commands, and telematics pings cannot reach the vehicle during entry or exit.

Without the vestibule, every time the main door opens, the RF isolation is momentarily broken. For passive storage this is acceptable. For active forensic acquisition, it is not.

Specify Vestibule in Your Quote Request →
Specify the vestibule if your workflow includes:
Berla iVe / Cellebrite UFED
Direct hardware connection to the vehicle’s OBD-II port or infotainment system requires the investigator to be physically inside the cover during acquisition.
Multi-Hour or Multi-Day Sessions
Acquisitions that span multiple shifts require investigators to enter and exit repeatedly. Each entry without a vestibule creates a brief exposure window.
High-Value or High-Risk Cases
When the evidentiary stakes are high and chain of custody must be airtight, the vestibule eliminates any argument that RF isolation was compromised during the examination.
Vehicles with Active Telematics
Tesla, GM OnStar, BMW ConnectedDrive, and similar platforms poll their servers continuously. The vestibule ensures no signal reaches the vehicle even during the seconds the main door is in motion.
Specify at Order Time
The vestibule is a build-time option. It cannot be retrofitted after the cover is manufactured. Specify it when placing your order or requesting a custom quote.
