Defensive Security

DIGITAL FORENSICS INVESTIGATION

Uncover the digital smoking gun. Faltrox Security utilizes memory forensics, disk imaging, and network log analysis to reconstruct complex cyber crimes. We trace the attacker's footsteps, recovering deleted artifacts and providing court-admissible evidence for litigation and law enforcement.

Overview

Trace The Evidence

Attackers think they are invisible. They clear logs and delete files. But they always leave a trace in the RAM, the registry, or the unallocated clusters.

We answer the critical questions: 'How did they get in?', 'What did they steal?', and 'Are they still here?'.

Our Certified Forensic Examiners handle chain-of-custody with strict legal precision, ensuring that our findings stand up in a court of law.

Landscape

Investigation Modules

Comprehensive forensic capabilities for any scenario.

Dead Disk Forensics

Creating bit-for-bit images of hard drives to recover deleted files, browser history, and system artifacts.

Malware Analysis

Dissecting malicious binaries in a sandbox to determine behavior, C2 infrastructure, and impact.

Memory Forensics

Analyzing RAM dumps to find fileless malware, injected code, and encryption keys that never touch the disk.

Chain of Custody

Maintaining strict legal protocols for evidence handling to ensure all findings are admissible in court.

Network Forensics

Reconstructing sessions from PCAP data to prove data exfiltration or unauthorized access.

Mobile Forensics

Extracting data from iOS/Android devices, including deleted messages and GPS history.

Process

Forensic Process

From Acquisition to Attribution.

01
IDENTIFY
Determining the scope of the investigation and which devices (laptops, servers, phones) need preservation.
02
PRESERVE
Creating a forensic image (E01) and calculating SHA-256 hashes to guarantee data integrity.
03
COLLECT
Securely transporting the evidence to our clean room lab, documenting every handover.
04
ANALYZE
Using specialized tools (EnCase, Axiom, Volatility) to parse the data and find relevant artifacts.
05
REPORT
Producing a detailed technical report and a non-technical executive summary of findings.
06
TESTIFY
Providing expert witness testimony in court to explain the findings to a judge or jury.

Scope

What We Analyze

Digital systems handle thousands of events per second. We read them all.

01high

System Hives (Registry)

Revealing USB connections, installed programs, and user activity timelines.

02medium

Web History

Recovering search terms, downloads, and cached pages, even from Incognito mode (RAM).

03high

LNK Files & Jumplists

Proving a file was opened or executed, even if the file itself was deleted.

04critical

Event Logs

Parsing Windows Security logs (4624, 4625) to track logins and privilege use.

Outcomes

Key benefits

Facts, not assumptions.

Definitive Answers

Move from 'we think' to 'we know' regarding data exfiltration or IP theft. Reproducible findings, court-grade chain-of-custody, and timelines a judge or board can follow.

Admissibility

Our reports are written to established forensic standards (SWGDE) for use in legal proceedings.

Recovery

In many cases, we can recover critical data that was deleted or corrupted.

Attribution

Identify if the attack came from an insider, a competitor, or a nation-state.

Containment

Knowing exactly what was touched allows you to surgically clean systems instead of wiping everything.

Dispute Resolution

Settle HR or contract disputes with undeniable digital proof.

FAQ

Common questions

01How fast can you start?

For emergency incidents, we can begin remote acquisition and analysis within hours of engagement.

02Do I need to ship hardware?

Not always. We use secure remote collection tools (F-Response) for most endpoints. Physical shipment is only needed for dead drives or disconnected systems.

03Is the evidence admissible in court?

Yes. We follow strict Chain of Custody procedures and use industry-standard tools (EnCase, Axiom, Cellebrite) accepted by courts worldwide.

04Can you decrypt ransomware files?

Sometimes. It depends on the variant and if a decryptor exists. We can analyze the malware to determine feasibility, but often backups are the primary recovery method.

05Can you recover deleted emails?

Often yes. If the email was deleted recently, it may still exist in the 'Recoverable Items' folder or within local OST files on the laptop.

06Do you look through personal data?

We only look for data relevant to the investigation scope (e.g., specific keywords, dates, or file types) to respect privacy while finding the truth.
