Advanced Acquisition Vehicle Forensics Training
with certificationAbout Our NEW Advanced Acquisition Vehicle Forensics Training
This in-depth 5-day training course will provide students with an elevated understanding of advanced acquisition and decoding techniques of data recovered from vehicle infotainment and navigation systems, as well as other electronic control units, using advanced data recovery and decoding techniques like Chip-off and ISP.
What You Will Learn
Join us and discover the vast amounts of data that can be recovered from automotive infotainment and navigation systems and learn how your findings can be applied to your case or investigation.
The course curriculum consists of:
- Instructor Lectures,
- Hands-On Demonstrations,
- and Practical Exercises.
Our goal is to maximize your experience by providing you with hands-on exercises that include:
- The removal of memory chips from circuit boards and performing the non-destructive In-System Programming (ISP) to recover data for decoding,
- Demonstrate Chip-Off data acquisition techniques for vehicles and systems that may have been damaged due to collision, fire, or water damage.
The intent of this course is to provide options to forensics examiners that go above and beyond the scope of the Berla iVe.
