Dedicated to the branch of forensic science encompassing the recovery and investigation of material found in digital devices, often in relation to computer crime. This field involves the application of several information security principles and aims to provide for attribution and event reconstruction following forth from audit processes. This subreddit is not limited to just personal computers and encompasses all media that may also fall under digital forensics (e.g., cellphones, video, etc.).
Assuming the applicant is a retired police officer, certified and experienced in digital forensics tools - Graykey, Axiom, Cellebrite, etc. - How's the hiring landscape for digital forensics? I'll be in my mid 40's when I apply with a bunch of years working in DF.
My retirement dream is DF remote work. I don't want to deal with authoring search warrants or arresting people- I basically just want to process and analyze data and get the reports back to the investigators. I wouldn't mind periodically appearing to testify in court somewhere.
Does such a gig exist? If you're doing this- how is it?
