Think database forensics is just SQLite? Think again.

Modern applications store evidence across a wide range of database technologies, and understanding how those databases work can make the difference between finding critical evidence and missing it entirely.

Our Advanced Applied Database Forensics course is designed for digital forensic examiners who want to go beyond automated tool output and develop a deeper understanding of the databases that power today's applications.

Throughout this hands-on course, students explore:

✔ SQLite internals and B-tree structures
✔ Deleted records, freelists, and overflow pages
✔ Rollback Journals and Write-Ahead Logs (WAL)
✔ Transaction analysis and database reconstruction
✔ LevelDB, IndexedDB, Realm, and other modern database technologies

But this course isn't just about learning database structures—it's about understanding why the data exists, where it came from, and how to recover evidence that forensic tools may not display.

Whether you're investigating mobile devices, Windows systems, messaging applications, web browsers, or other application-based evidence, you'll gain the knowledge and confidence to validate forensic tool output, examine unsupported databases, and recover valuable historical and deleted data.

At Spyder Forensics Training, we believe investigators should understand the evidence, not simply accept what a forensic tool reports.

If you're ready to take your database forensic skills to the next level, we'd love to see you on an upcoming course.

Over the past 12 months, the demand for robust, defensible Drone and UxS forensic capability has grown exponentially. Investigators are no longer dealing with simple hobbyist UAVs or isolated flight log extraction cases, they are facing complex, multi-platform ecosystems spanning aircraft, controllers, mobile devices, and cloud-connected applications.

Spyder Forensics has risen to that challenge by developing the most advanced UxS Forensics training programme available today. This goes far beyond basic log extraction or surface-level analysis. Our Advanced Drone Forensics Analysis course delivers a deep, structured approach to the entire UxS ecosystem, covering aircraft systems, controller data, mobile applications, and cross-device artefact correlation.

A key focus of the programme is real investigative capability, not just data extraction. Students learn how to interpret flight behaviour, reconstruct operational intent, and correlate evidence across multiple sources using methodologies designed for real-world forensic examinations.

In parallel, Spyder Forensics has also developed dedicated tooling specifically built for Drone Examiners by Drone Examiners, ensuring the workflows taught in training are directly aligned with operational investigative needs.

To support this mission further, we have also established a dedicated UxS Forensics group focused on advancing training, research, tooling, and examiner support, pushing capability in this space to the next level.

The future of UxS investigation is not single-source analysis. It is full ecosystem reconstruction, and that is exactly what we are building.

We had an amazing time at Techno Security East this year and thoroughly enjoyed the opportunity to present on AI Forensics, talk on UxS (Drone) Forensics, and the latest updates to our AWFE (Advanced Windows 11 Forensic Exploitation) course.

One of the highlights of the week was reconnecting with so many colleagues and friends from across the digital forensics community, while also meeting a large number of new examiners who made the journey back to Myrtle Beach. The conversations, questions, and knowledge sharing throughout the event were truly inspiring.

A sincere thank you to everyone who attended the sessions, stopped by the Spyder Forensics Training booth, and took the time to discuss current challenges, emerging technologies, and the future of digital investigations. Events like these serve as a great reminder of how strong and collaborative our community continues to be.

We are already looking forward to continuing many of the conversations that started this week and to seeing everyone again at future events.

It has been an incredible week of training with a highly engaged group of students and some outstanding discussions throughout the course.

What I enjoyed most was being able to move far beyond simple UAV log extraction and flight mapping. Together, we exploited several different drone platforms and examined each system from a true forensic perspective, focusing on the potential evidential value that could be recovered from both the aircraft and supporting ecosystems.

One of the highlights for me was working through real-time analysis of payload deployment data recovered from the latest custom-built drone extractions. Seeing students connect the technical artifacts to real investigative value is exactly why I enjoy teaching these courses.

We also spent considerable time diving into the ground-based controller applications, including decrypting application logs to reveal valuable artifacts such as battery serial numbers, controller serial numbers, account information, and geo-spatial data that are often overlooked during many examinations.

All of this was performed using the tools provided complimentary to attendees of the course, allowing students to immediately apply these techniques to real-world investigations once they return to their organizations.

The SFT Drone Log Review application has also undergone significant updates recently, and I’m excited about the additional features and capabilities that will be introduced over the coming weeks. The goal continues to be providing examiners with practical, affordable, and truly forensic-focused tooling for Drone and UxV investigations.

A huge thank you to all the students for the excellent engagement and conversations throughout the week.
