Info Level: Intermediate Presenter: Eli the Computer Guy Length of Class: 30 Minutes Tracks Data Recovery Prerequisites Students should have a solid understanding of how computers work, and should have experience troubleshooting and repairing Windows PCs. Purpose of Class This class introduces students to the concepts behind data recovery. Topics Covered Lost Passwords Corrupted Files Deleted Files Physical Damage Class Notes Password BIOS and Router type hardware can be reset manually Brute Force -- A piece of software that tries Username/ Password combinations at random until it finds the right ones.

Encrypted files will be unreadable File Corruption Easily fixed with $50 software Deletion Files are not actually deleted Recuva.com is a very good free tool Secure deletion makes files unrecoverable Stop using the computer if you accidentally delete a file. Physical Damage You need a clean room in order to fix a hard drive Expect to pay $1000-$3000 if hard drive physically dies Manufactures use different parts o the same model of hard drive Final Thoughts A good backup routine is the best bet

Info Level: Intermediate Presenter: Eli the Computer Guy Length of Class: 20 Minutes Tracks Data Recovery Prerequisites Introduction to Data Recovery Purpose of Class This class teaches students the purpose of data recovery devices and what to look for when purchasing their own. Topics Covered Why you need a Data Recovery Device What to look for when buying a Data Recovery Device Class Notes Introduction Data recovery devices generally only extract the bits and bytes from a dying hard drive and put them on a good hard drive so that you can extract the data from a stable hard drive. You can use Linux for the same results, but you have to know linux... About Generally cost between $1000-$5000 More expensive devices do more then you need We use a YEC Ninja, but there may be better devices available Data Recovery Devices can scan hard drives in reverse and do other things software alone cannot do. Final Thoughts We billed at least $200 if a client hard drive was connected to our Ninja. You could realistically charge up to $400. Linux may be better, but beware the "Rabbit Hole to Hell" if your employees start troubleshooting the data recovery computer versus just pressing a button on a data recovery device. Data Recovery devices can take a long time to run!
