Cyber Forensics for Legal Evidence
Budget: $10 – $30 AUD
Someone gained unauthorized access to our systems and I now need rock-solid, court-ready proof of what happened, how it happened, and who was responsible. The sole objective is to gather evidence suitable for legal action, so every step must follow proper forensic procedure and maintain a clear chain of custody.
You will be asked to:
• Securely acquire and preserve relevant logs, disk images, and memory captures without altering original data.
• Analyse the artefacts to reconstruct the attacker’s activity, timeline, persistence mechanisms, and data exfiltration attempts.
• Document findings in a detailed report that meets legal-admissibility standards and can be understood by attorneys and, if necessary, a judge or jury.
• Package all evidence with hashes, metadata, and methodology notes so it can be independently verified.
• Brief me on recommended remediation steps once your investigation is complete, keeping recommendations separate from the evidentiary section.
Familiarity with industry-standard tools such as EnCase, FTK, Autopsy, Volatility, Wireshark or similar is expected, along with experience testifying or submitting affidavits. I will provide you remote or onsite access (as appropriate) plus any internal documentation you request. The engagement closes when I sign off on the final report and evidence bundle that satisfies our legal team’s requirements.
