Forensic analysis of user account and login details in drone apps – Forensic investigation of account-related usage
Many manufacturers require users to have a registered user account in order to use a drone companion app; this allows individual usage activities to be linked to a specific person or, at the very least, to a specific account.
Login and account details may be stored both locally on the device and, where available and subject to the appropriate authorisation, by the manufacturer.

Our services
We analyse user account and login details stored locally in drone apps and, where possible, link the use of a drone to a specific account.
Typical areas of application
This is how an analysis of user account and login details is carried out
Once the app data has been backed up, locally stored account and login details are extracted. These are cross-referenced with other data sources, such as flight history and device pairings, to build a consistent picture of usage.
Why is the analysis of user account and login details relevant in a forensic context?
Linking the use of a drone to a specific account can be a crucial element in attributing an action to a particular person.
The possibility of unauthorised access to the account by third parties must also always be considered as an alternative explanation and, where possible, investigated.
