Ask Raul: Damaged Data

SUMMARY

Raul describes to Digital Network Intelligence analysts how to deal with damaged data. First, he recommends trying to understand how the intercepted data was damaged and fix the problem so it doesn't happen in the future. ("Remember, damage doesn't just happen, something causes it and it is definitely much better to prevent it than to try and fix it.") Then he goes through various techniques to discover where problems in damaged files are and how to attempt to repair them.
