Hear from the forensic analysts and investigators who rely on Mission Darkness every day to protect digital evidence and build stronger cases.
Then it showed up. No tracking, no shipping notice. It had been sitting there a week before I even realized it arrived. Their box was in a plastic bag inside of a cardboard box with no padding or other packaging for something that cost thousands. I opened it and it wasn't even fully assembled. No instruction manual, no specs, nothing telling me the kind of environment it needed to operate in to be effective. The padding that seals the edges? I installed that myself. The latches were supposed to be adjustable, but the plastic nuts came stripped and cross-threaded so I can't adjust them at all. The gloves were mounted crooked, at different angles. I had to assemble the rest of it myself and figure out how everything was supposed to go together with no reference for what a successful install was supposed to look like. I hope I did it right.
The way it arrived from Faraday Defense, I have no confidence in it. I won't buy from them again.
That experience made me appreciate Mission Darkness even more. We already run a Blocker Locker and numerous Faraday Bags and they have been phenomenal. Everything came assembled and it all works. When a cable broke, Matt sent a replacement without me having to fight for it. I had been told by others to buy Mission Darkness equipment, and now I fully understand why. MD products show up the way forensic gear should: packaged with care, fully assembled, documented, ready to work.
Next time procurement asks why I want to spend more on Mission Darkness products, I have my answer. I'd rather go with a brand that gets it right, where I know the product will work and that I'll be taken care of.
Crime Fighters Go High-Tech with $50K Donation of
Digital Forensics Kit
Modern-day law enforcement relies heavily on technology, and local crimefighters received a new batch of tools and gadgets that help them collect, store, and protect digital evidence, thanks to Santa Barbara-based MOS Equipment.
MOS Equipment, also known as "Mission Darkness," was founded in 2015 by CEO Ryan Judy, who has lived in Santa Barbara for the past 20 years and has helped grow the company to provide digital forensics equipment like faraday bags and radio-frequency-shielded lockers to law enforcement agencies across the world. The company now operates out of an office on Ortega Street and warehouse in Goleta, distributing equipment to agencies such as the U.S. Department of Justice and Secret Service.
This year, Judy wanted to start a new tradition of donating digital tools to local crime fighters, so MOS invited the Santa Barbara County Sheriff's Office, Santa Maria Police Department, Santa Barbara County District Attorney's Office, and Ventura County District Attorney's Office to Mission Darkness headquarters on January 10 to receive more than $50,000 worth of high-end gear. MOS presented each office with an $11,000 kit featuring faraday bags, a Blocker Locker, and battery kits.
Jeff Ellis, an investigator with the Santa Barbara County District Attorney's Office, said that digital evidence is now part of almost every criminal investigation, and new tools like the ones provided by MOS Equipment help investigators meet some of the newest challenges. With MOS Equipment tools, such as faraday bags, law enforcement can rest easy knowing that evidence is safe from risks such as remote hacking, tracking, and unauthorized access.
