Flasher Box Forensics

Intermediate Level | 3 days

Course Aims

Knowing which flasher boxes to buy, how to set them up and use them safely is somewhat of a minefield and can be very time consuming without guidance. Flasher Box Forensics is a 3 day course designed to teach students how to set up flasher box tools efficiently and how to safely use them to remove security codes and perform hex dumps. Having attended the course, students will be able to recover more evidence from more devices and present that evidence with credibility.

What you will learn

By the end of the course, students will be able to:

• Select appropriate flasher boxes for use in mobile phone forensics
• Install, configure and update flasher box software
• Remove handset security codes which would otherwise prevent examination of a device
• Perform hex dumps of the handset memory of mobile phones
• Integrate flasher box tools into existing forensic processes in accordance with ACPO Principles of Computer-Based Electronic Evidence.
