Overview

When digital evidence is encrypted, obfuscated, or custom-protected, we use **mathematical and algorithmic approaches** to reveal the hidden data. This highly specialized field is essential when dealing with advanced adversaries or proprietary data formats.

Expanded Capabilities

• **Reverse engineering** of proprietary or unknown cryptographic algorithms.
• Analysis of encoded malware strings and ransomware payloads.
• **Block cipher vs. stream cipher differentiation** to determine the attack vector.
• Brute-force simulation with key strength evaluation.
• Combining disk forensics with cryptoanalysis for layered evidence recovery.

Common Scenarios

• Malware reverse engineering to understand its functionality.
• Accessing evidence stored in custom-encrypted archives or databases.
• Analyzing suspicious password-protected content in fraud cases.
