Email and phishing forensics

Every suspicious email, analysed down to the last header.

We analyse in depth the suspicious or fraudulent emails received by the organisation: full headers, SPF, DKIM and DMARC authentication, the domains, IP addresses and servers involved, links and attachments. We also check your own domain's posture against spoofing and deliver a report that is useful both for decision-making and for documenting the incident to third parties.

How we work

The same method on every project, so results are comparable with each other and over time. Every finding is scored with CVSS and put in context according to the affected asset, how easy it is to exploit and the real impact on the business.

Phase 1

Scope and rules of engagement

Objectives, assets, time windows, emergency contacts and formal written authorisation.

Phase 2

Reconnaissance

We map the attack surface and inventory the assets, both known and discovered.

Phase 3

Analysis and controlled exploitation

We validate every finding manually, with no denial of service and no unnecessary data extraction.

Phase 4

Report and presentation

An executive report for management and a technical report for the team, with a prioritised remediation plan.

Phase 5

Retest and follow-up

We verify the fixes and update the status of every finding in DARKFORGE.
