Sorry I can't be of any help, but I only learned recently that networks record all of your text messages for the investigation of legal matters...
... so don't do your drug dealing via text y'all
And if you have a BlackBerry running through a corporate BES your company will most likely have some csv files loaded with every text message content, phonecall log and PIN message content sent to and from each and every device
So from you forensics guys, how effective are things like drive wiping tools, drive encryption, CCleaner etc.? Can you get past those easily?
No, I'm not a paedo.
I'm giving nothing away
If you "delete" it, depending on a bunch of factors you could probably recover some to all of it.So from you forensics guys, how effective are things like drive wiping tools, drive encryption, CCleaner etc.? Can you get past those easily?
No, I'm not a paedo.
If you overwrite the data, it's gone, even with just a single overwrite, and anyone who tells you otherwise is wrong. (And if they refer to the Gutman paper then they don't understand it).

Please... it's public knowledge that the police can't defeat encryption or recover erased data.
Personally the idea of working in computer forensics interests me, though it would have to be in a business environment, too many ethical problems working for the police.

The correct tools used in the correct way are perfectly effective
Correctly applied crypto will also stop a forensic investigation before it begins.People make mistakes though...
"Deviants", so you think that it's acceptable to lock people up because of their personal preferences. This is exactly why I would not work for the police force, so many innocent people arrested because of some cartoon porn or other victimless crime.
