Hi I have watched some of your older videos, very informative and honest. Thanks for spilling the beans on all the con artists out there regarding recovering data and bogus software. It seem people just want to have our pants down and make money. Keep up the good work, We need more honest people in the world like you. Best Regards Kevin

[CustomComputing]

[Josh-lvjz]

What metadata can be recovered if any at all from cached images in apples photo gallery photo picker?

[honeybadger]

Hi. You summarized the DF master's degree program I'm finishing this Spring semester in one long video. Have you done discovery work for a civil case?

[Fizbun]

Hey, have you ever used Datapilot 10 device or heard about it? How would a phone extraction compare to UFED?

[sir]

What are your thoughts on GIAC certs geared towards Digital Forensics? Such as GCFA or GCFE? Are they compatible to positions like yours in the field? Also you mentioned about running your own digital forensics company, how does that work legally? Is that more geared towards consulting for private and government companies?

[TotalTech.]

How would you go about getting into a career in mobile forensics?

[Litehamer]

Hi . Thank you for the video. I’ve been in law enforcement for almost 20 years and am considering a move to digital forensics. A small company has offered me a job an a great deal of cellebrite training . I’m really interested but wonder if it’s too vendor specific. I’ve used XRY and been exposed to cellbrite reader but worry it my be too limited. Any thoughts appreciated.

[jolt]

found your video while looking for help with aa job interview prep for Digital forensics. I'm literally on my last semester of my masters in Cyber security digital forensics. I really want to be in this field of work.

[bobmorton]

Well, good information. Things have come a long way in the last 15 years since I got out of forensics. Although I am not certified like you, nor did I have all the gear you have, I did do a lot of data recovery for a few shops. Encase was nice back in the day. Are you open to the public to do some chip repairs? Or open to giving some advice on equipment for pulling data off of a damaged chip?

[ToomsDotDk]

Another good free tool that i think you missing.
Arsenal Image Mounter from Arsenal Recon, There is an free version and an payed version there can boot E01 files and auto unlock the the login.
Note, i do not work for Arsenal.

[christiancorvus]

I'm currently a 3rd year forensic science student, do you its still possible to pursue DF with my course and not computer science?

[sarakazuya]
