Email Forensics, illustrating forensic analysis of email headers and messages

Overview

We help uncover manipulation, phishing, and internal leaks hidden in emails by dissecting structure, routing, and metadata — even from corrupted or partially deleted mailboxes. Our analysis provides crucial evidence for legal and corporate investigations.

Expanded Capabilities

  • Header spoofing and forged identity detection to trace the true origin of an email.
  • Webmail account artifact recovery from services like Gmail and Outlook.com.
  • Encrypted email content review for PGP and S/MIME protected messages.
  • Reconstruction of deleted email threads and attachments from mailbox files (PST, MBOX).
  • Real-time mail flow tracking using server logs from Exchange, GSuite, and other platforms.

Common Scenarios

  • Investigating phishing, spear-phishing, and business email compromise (BEC) attacks.
  • Resolving disputes involving corporate communication trails and contracts.
  • Supporting HR or regulatory compliance investigations related to email usage.
