Learn to acquire and analyze vehicle systems unsupported by commercial tools.
For years, accident reconstructionist, law enforcement officers, and digital forensic examiners have faced a limitation in vehicle forensics: when commercial tools don't support a vehicle, the assumption has been that no relevant data exists.
Modern vehicles contain hundreds of electronic control modules, each with the potential to store data crucial to your investigation. Yet many of these modules remain unexplored territory - telematics systems, image processing modules, and numerous other components that have never been systematically researched or forensically examined.
The question isn't always whether the data exists. It's whether anyone has looked for it.
F²VSF teaches you to extract forensic data from vehicle systems that commercial tools don't support. You'll learn modern vehicle electronic architecture and how to research potential modules of interest. The course covers the complete forensic workflow: researching undocumented systems, safely disassembling modules, correctly identifying potential data-bearing components, and selecting the appropriate extraction method—whether chip-off, in-system programming, JTAG, or other hardware/software techniques. You'll learn how to analyze vehicle data and when available validate your findings through controlled vehicle testing, ensuring your extracted data is accurate, reliable, and defensible in court.

Training Outline
Commercial vehicle system forensic tools provide a starting point, but they only scratch the surface of what modern vehicles potentially record. While everyone's downloading the same EDR data, critical evidence sits untapped in infotainment systems, telematics modules, ADAS modules, and dozens of other control modules that potentially record timestamps, locations, speeds, routes, driver behaviors, and device interactions.
Whether you're investigating a vehicle that's unsupported by commercial tools, seeking corroborating evidence from novel ADAS systems or telematics modules, or facing a case where the airbag module provides incomplete information, understanding vehicle system forensics opens entirely new evidence streams that others might miss. Investing in your vehicle system forensics skillset will not only differentiate your firm but also expand your investigative capabilities, empowering you to extract data from sources your competitors don't even know exist and deliver the most comprehensive analyses possible.
This course equips accident reconstructionists and forensic examiners with deep knowledge of vehicle architectures and forensic acquisition techniques through detailed system explanations, real-world case studies, and hands-on extraction exercises. Attendees will learn to confidently:
- Understand vehicle network architectures (CAN, LIN, FlexRay, Ethernet)
- Identify potential modules and data sources beyond known supported modules
- Understand various vehicle module architecture
- Extract data from infotainment and telematics systems
- Learn how to investigate and research novel systems
- Recover phone pairing records and call logs
- Access internal dashcam and camera recordings
- Interpret GPS coordinates and route histories
- Validate extracted data against known vehicle behaviors
- Document forensically sound acquisition procedures
- Create comprehensive technical reports
- Testify to vehicle system forensics methodology
By the end of this course, you'll not only understand modern vehicle data ecosystems but also how to systematically extract evidence - uncovering the critical data that solves cases.
