MicroSD cards became a true standard for portable storage devices. Due to high capacity and tiny size they are used now even for less conventional applications such as drones, video monitoring systems and so on. When forensic laboratories receive damaged memory cards for analysis it is not an easy job to extract data out of it, considering that NAND memory and controller are embedded together into solid package. The case gets even worse if device is physically damaged. In this session, the presenter will go through the whole process of data reconstruction and challenges that experts face.
