Recovering deleted data from the BB5 series of Nokia handsets has long proved troublesome….until now. Control-F’s Flasher Box Forensics training course now teaches students how to safely recover deleted data from BB5 handsets such as the popular Nokia 6300, 6500 Classic, 6500 Slide and many more (without the need for physical chip removal!). In addition, students will learn how to access security code protected handsets, recover security code details and gain unrestricted access to the handset (such that a logical extraction can be performed).

Control-F is delighted to announce that it is running scheduled entry-level phone forensics training at Wyboston Lakes in the form of our Foundation in Mobile Phone Forensics course. Our next course runs on 23-27th April 2012 and is open to law enforcement and private sector delegates.

Foundation in Mobile Phone Forensics is a 4½ day course designed for those just starting out in mobile phone forensics (or existing examiners who have not had the benefit of formal training). The course is highly practical with delegates gaining hands-on experience with market leading forensic tools as they work through a series of realistic scenarios. Students are taught the theory and the practical sides of recovering evidence from handsets, SIM cards and memory cards.

By attending Control-F training courses, delegates will be exposed to forensic tools and products from a range of vendors (including many free utilities); thereby allowing them to compare and contrast their performance and quantify their benefit to their unit or department. All Control-F training is built around the ACPO Principles of Computer Based Digital Evidence so that customers can be assured that what is being taught is consistent with internationally recognised good practice in digital forensics.

At Control-F we know that there will be many occasions when delegates have returned to the workplace and will need to refer back to a topic that was covered on the course. For that reason students attending Foundation in Mobile Phone Forensics receive high quality printed & electronic training materials which include a 95 page book (fully referenced and written specifically to accompany the course).

This week saw Control-F’s third Flasher Box Forensics course as we continue to see strong demand for the training from phone examiners who want to know how to use these powerful devices safely. The eleven delegates learned how to bypass and recover security codes as well as recover both live and deleted data from Nokia, Samsung, LG, Sagem and ZTE handsets.

The delegates were extremely positive in their feedback on the course:

“One of the best courses I have attended”

“It has given me everything I needed to know from set-up to examination”

“Well paced and relaxed, would highly recommend it”

Control-F will be launching a new Smartphone Forensics course in 2012 which will teach delegates how to get to grips with Android, Blackberry & iOS devices. As more and more people choose to swap their “featurephone” for a smartphone, so the mix of devices seen by forensic examiners shifts towards smarter devices. Understanding what can be recovered from which device using which tool seems like a full-time job in itself!

Smartphones and tablets based on Android, Blackberry and Apple’s iOS present a silver lined cloud – they can contain a rich mix of information regarding the owner’s activity, associates and whereabouts, whilst at the same time presenting challenges both in data acquisition as well as the analysis of recovered data. Our new Smartphone Forensics course will help mobile phone examiners get to grips with the efficient extraction and analysis of smartphone devices and tablets in order to fully exploit the goldmine of evidence that may lie within.

Email us at info@controlf.net to be the first to hear about course dates, availability and pricing.

Control-F recently ran it’s first 3 day Flasher Box Forensics training course at Wyboston Lakes and we’re delighted with the feedback we’ve received from the delegates:

“This was a brilliant course – did exactly what it said on the tin. I certainly got what I came for”

“Has filled a gap in the market which will be very beneficial to a lot of people”

“Another excellent course from Control-F”

Flasher boxes help mobile forensic examiners recover evidence from devices which may not be supported by commercial off-the-shelf forensic tools, allowing them to gather key evidence. However, not being designed for forensic use, flasher boxes have the potential to erase data from devices; hence training is critical.
