A user can safely transfer seized or collected devices from individual faraday bags to the BlockBox Lab while maintaining RF shielding. Once the lid is closed, the bag can be opened inside. Mission Darkness NeoLok faraday bags with a magnetic closure (like the tablet size bag included) are preferred for use with conductive gloves.

The product is simple to use, but certain precautions should be taken to effectively block RF signals and extend the life of the components. Click the button below for product care and usage instructions (a hard copy is included with the accessory kit).

The hard-sided analysis enclosure is primarily used in forensic lab setting

The accessory kit includes a set of replacement gloves and foam seals that are simple to install

The included NeoLok faraday bag with a magnetic closure can be easily opened inside of the enclosure without the risk of damaging the gloves

The BlockBox Lab pictured with Cellebrite

• • Place the closed faraday bag inside of the BlockBox Lab, along with any necessary extraction tools or cables, and close the lid. Open the bag using the conductive gloves and remove the device. Connect the device internally to the power outlet, extraction tool, etc. if desired.

• • Place the device inside of the powered BlockBox Lab and connect it to the USB filter internally using a compatible cable tip. Connect an extraction tool directly to the outer USB filter on the opposite side, then use as directed.

• • To be compatible with GrayKey, you must use the BlockBox Lab variation with an RJ45 ethernet port (SKU: MDFB-BBL-RJ45)! Make sure the outer filter cables are connected. Place the GrayKey unit inside of the powered lab and connect it to the inner RJ45 ethernet port, as well as the power outlet. Connect the device(s) to GrayKey and use the tool as directed.

*Note that further instructions for use with forensics tools will depend on the specific tool itself and the scenario. Additional forensics tools and corresponding cables are not provided.

If a device arrives to the police station, lab, etc. in a standard faraday bag, it can be transferred to a different or more specialized faraday bag, like the Mission Darkness Charge & Shield Faraday Bag (or visa versa), using the BlockBox Lab as an RF shielded transfer chamber.

• • Simply place both bags inside the BlockBox Lab, close the lid, and open the faraday bags internally using the conductive gloves. Once the device is transferred and properly sealed in the new bag, the lid can open, and the shielded device can be moved to another location.
  • This process ensures that the device is never exposed to RF signals and allows users to keep the BlockBox Lab vacant for more serious forensics investigation uses.
  • *When selecting faraday bags for your department, keep in mind that faraday bags with a NeoLok magnetic closure are preferred when being handled by conductive gloves.

Watch the Field to Lab demo video to see why the BlockBox Lab is an integral part of the digital evidence handling process.

• • Digital evidence (cell phones and tablets specifically) should be RF shielded and remain charging from the point of seizure all the way to the lab, for maximum data recovery and password cracking with tools like Cellebrite and GrayKey. Simple Velcro faraday bags no longer support this entire process. This video shows the specific set of products that are required to ensure devices are not remote wiped and do not die en route to the lab. It is important to understand that traditional digital evidence handling techniques are insufficient for current data extraction and password recovery tools. Read the blog post for more details.
