DRUNKEN-ASSHOLE-ONER Posted January 25, 2008 Share Posted January 25, 2008 I seem to have unintentionally hyped up my boring ass job. I work for the tax department (not in the US) mainly checking accounting data for large companies (i.e. turnover > $350M) and making sure they are calculating tax correctly/declaring income correctly and a whole bunch of other shit that you don't care about. The other side of the job is forensics - where the department has reason to believe that a person(s) has created false documents and deleted them. We will charge on in, take a complete image of their hard drive and systematically undelete everything in the slack space* searching for said documents. In the process EVERYTHING gets undeleted, including such things as: midget porn, home-made porn, child porn and regular porn. Same applies to cell phones, iPods, palm devices and anything else. If it can store data, we can take data from it. * For those that don't know how a hard disk works, when you "delete" a file, it doesn't vanish, it is simply renamed to let the OS know that said file can now be overwritten. These files are called "slack space". So if you delete something and it isn't overwritten, it will be sitting there ready to be retrieved in full. Even if it is overwritten, there's still a good chance we will get at least part of it back. So yeah, sorry to disappoint you. Get a real job. :five-o: :five-o: :five-o: :five-o: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
