About Blindspot Forensics
Hi, I'm Alain N'Dalla. Welcome to my corner of the internet — where I document hands-on research in mobile forensics, computer forensics, incident response, and the tools behind real digital investigations.
Digital forensics is full of blindspots — the artifact you didn't know existed, the timeline gap that breaks your case, the tool that silently gives you the wrong answer. This blog exists to close those gaps.
I've spent the last decade examining digital evidence — in courtrooms, corporate investigations, and everything in between. What keeps me coming back is curiosity: every device tells a story, and the artifacts it leaves behind do not lie. Blindspot Forensics is my way of documenting that journey — the research, the findings, the questions I couldn't stop asking. I wanted a place to document what I learn, share what I find, and contribute something real to a field I genuinely love. Curiosity built this site. Hopefully it keeps it going.
