We're back! After a short break we are back to discuss the growing crossover between real-world events and digital evidence in court cases, highlighting how device data can make or break timelines in high-stakes investigations.

This episode covers:

  • Ian Whiffin’s latest forensic work, including iOS power log timestamps, Apple Health data reliability, iPhone battery temperature readings, and IR Doppler functionality – with examples of how these artifacts were used in a recent homicide trial to validate timelines and environmental conditions.
  • Kevin Pagano’s App Store Package Search tool, which translates obscure bundle IDs into recognizable app information for easier analysis.
  • Concerns over the growing reliance on AI in digital forensics, emphasizing the need for human expertise and proper validation in every step of the process.
  • A demonstration of LUMYX, a mapping tool that converts extracted location data into customizable visual timelines for courtroom presentations.
  • Updates on LAVA (LEAPPS Artifact Viewer App) and guidance on writing LAVA-compliant artifacts to improve reporting workflows.
