Sujay Adkesar — Digital Forensics & Incident Response. DFIR Analyst building open-source tools for Windows and mobile forensics and incident response.

LinkedIn — sujay-adkesar Blog — thelocalh0st.com


§ 01 — Examiner profile

Casework: Windows endpoints, mobile and connected devices, incident response, examination automation. Principles: read-only always; every fact has a source; validated, not assumed; automate the routine.


§ 02 — Evidence locker

Exhibit A — Windows Forensic Automation: load a disk image, pick the type of case, and get answers, every parsed artifact and a court-ready report. 96 artifact types, 9 case profiles, 103 of 103 validation checks against NIST CFReDS and DFIR Madness.

Exhibit B — Connected Phone Forensics: find every phone that was connected to a computer, what it left there, and exactly where each fact came from. 23 parsers, 8 connection types, Windows, macOS and Linux hosts.

Exhibit C — PhonePe Forensics: a local DFIR workstation for PhonePe iOS extractions with cross-database correlation, a unified timeline and UPI fraud hunting. Exhibit D — VSCExplorer: find, mount and browse Volume Shadow Copies inside E01 and RAW images, BitLocker-encrypted ones included.

Exhibit E — DFIR Agent Builder: a desktop wizard that compiles one self-contained Rust triage collector with write-only S3 upload, ready for GPO deployment. Exhibit F — DFIR Autopilot: extracts, parses and analyses Windows artifacts with pluggable agents and a local LLM, then writes the case report.
