Follow on Google News | Bonus evidence revealed with new forensic computer imaging system could crack more cyber crime casesThe Fast Disk Acquisition System (FDAS) by CyanLine exposes previously unknown information detailing suspects’ computer habits that can prove guilt or innocence
By: www.cyanline.com “The discovery of this new information can be utilized in nearly every case that uses forensic computer images as evidence,” said Steven Branigan, CyanLine CEO, Secret Service committee member and FDAS inventor. “The information from FDAS can be used to confirm or overturn cases, if the metadata aligns with their claims.” The metadata unveiled with FDAS sealed the deal in a recent court case. After examination with FDAS, investigators discovered that the drive was in use for about 20 hours, which appeared substantially low for a three-year-old computer. Investigators used this information to prove that the suspect obtained a new drive and only copied bits of ‘evidence’ “FDAS helped us realize there was critical evidence about the computer disk itself that we do not typically receive from investigators,” Branigan believes the chief problem in forensic computer cases is that lawyers and investigators are unaware that bonus metadata exists, nor realize that suspects will conceal evidence by replacing their disk drives. “FDAS not only provides a faithful copy of the evidence disk, but it also provides information about the disk drive itself. It is this data can be used to determine age and usage of the disk,” Branigan explained. Attorneys and investigators can now use FDAS to verify that the data being reviewed is the correct data. “Successfully prosecuting a case turning on Electronically Stored Information (ESI) is about relating a true and accurate fact pattern,” said Michael Hoffman, Esq., of Pennington, New Jersey. Hoffman believes that forensics is about the truth and accuracy of that fact pattern and that litigants need the ‘rock-solid’ More cases can be closed faster with FDAS, the only forensic computer imaging system that reports essential metadata.
