From Cryptic Apps to Clickable Maps: Making Sense of Digital Evidence

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.
