And on every second Tuesday replaces them with photos of Llamas.

 

Good video though

I used to do data recovery. 99% of the time it was a snap (I've recovered data from systems with water damage and burned down buildings) but it was that 1% of the time where you really earned your keep. (4GB SQL database file that had been RAIDed across 4 SCSI drives from a server that had been both nailed by a direct lightning strike that ALSO burned down the building....)

Why did the murderer not just take the phone?

That would make sense.

Forensics would just ping the phone and triangulate the phone using the phone towers

I liked the video!

and judging by the murderers previous attempts, i don't think he would have been smart enough to actually turn the thing off

Thing is providing the police have a warrant they can actually remotely turn on certain phone devices, i saw a documentary on it

Are services like this able to recover data from encrypted RAID volumes? Like, say someone accidentally locked themselves out of a volume without the key...Can companies like this decrypt the data and return it decrypted?

If you have the cash...yes, but I guarantee you won't like the price tag (think 5 to 6 figures)

Whether or not they get a warrant is still up for debate in many cases.

[DoctorWho1975]

This is pretty badass... one of the best LTT videos recently.

Yikes. What drives that price up so high? Just the time involved?

Yes, when doing data recovery, it's charged by the time involved and effort, and there is a LOT of effort for something like that.

Depending on teh severity of the case and the grounds on which they want the warrant as well; my knowledge just comes from Crime shows on TV mixed with general conversation with people who studied law at university

They fight disclosure tooth and nail.. use of Stingrays should require a warrant and use in case should be in court documents... but its not. What police SHOULD do and what they actually do are incredibly different. Don't take crime shows on TV as any indication of any laws.

[Murasaki]

This would be my dream job tbh.

UNLESS YOU CAN READ, OF COURSE

 

These comments are my favorite part of all the videos. Except the useful and interesting conent, of course.
