Tactical Equipment refers to specialized tools and equipment used during digital forensic investigations conducted in the field or on-site.
Examples
Portable Data Extraction Devices: Devices designed to extract and preserve digital evidence from various types of storage media (e.g., USB drives, mobile phones) in a portable and secure manner.
Mobile Forensic Kits: Kits containing essential tools and equipment for conducting mobile device forensic examinations outside of controlled environments.
Evidence Bags: Secure bags designed to store and transport digital evidence while preserving its integrity and chain of custody.
Faraday Bags: Shielded bags that block electromagnetic signals to prevent remote access or alteration of electronic devices and evidence.
Hardware Write-Blockers: Devices used to prevent write operations to storage media, ensuring that original evidence remains unaltered during data acquisition.
Purpose
On-Site Data Acquisition: Facilitates the collection, preservation, and analysis of digital evidence directly at the location of an incident or investigation.
Preservation of Evidence Integrity: Ensures that digital evidence collected in the field maintains its integrity and reliability for use in legal proceedings or further forensic analysis.
