A warning note to prospective students: Any data recovery training taught by self-proclaimed "industry experts" without a clean room is a likely an "edutainment show" or a potential rip-off. You won't get the detailed instruction you need to do physical data recovery outside of a clean room environment. Caveat emptor!
The InfoSec Institute Data Recovery course provides an in-depth and hands-on exposure to the most hands on and highly technical logical and physical data recovery course available anywhere. You will learn the fundamentals of hardware data recovery which will enable you to properly diagnose dead drives and bring them back to life. You will also learn logical recovery for Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, RAID arrays, Exchange server and even solid state flash NAND drives!
The Data Recovery course exposes you to a professional data recovery lab environment, which includes:
It is imperative to learn how to perform physical data recovery in a Class 100 clean room training environment, such as the InfoSec Institute provides for students. Even the smallest piece of dust that falls on an exposed drive platter can damage it irreparably, making data unrecoverable.

InfoSec Institute provides a professional data recovery lab experience for students. You will learn how to diagnose faulty PCBs, understand how to swap them with working PCBs. You will also learn critical Surface Mounted Device (SMD) rework skills using a heat gun. This includes identifying donor ROM SMDs and using rework flux to replace non-functional ROM chips.
Learning how to exchange drive platters and heads is a critical skill that requires expert instruction. The proper method for head and platter swapping is detailed thoroughly in the Data Recovery course. We also cover voice coil diagnosis and repair. You will learn the secrets of Firmware and Service Area (SA) repair for many different types of drives, including Western Digital, Maxtor, IBM and Seagate hard drives.
InfoSec Institute teaches you how to perform intermediate to advanced level logical recoveries. We make an assumption that you can already perform basic beginner-level logical recoveries of drives and jump right in to intermediate concepts. You will learn how to determine the secrets of RAID recovery, including RAID 5 recovery when one or more disks have been damaged. We cover the data recovery fundamentals of the NTFS, FAT32, and EXT file systems using a hex editor and other automated tools.
This class does not rely on you purchasing an expensive tool (such as the PC-3000) to perform data recovery.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Because of the nature of this data recovery course, you MUST wear anti-static and particulate matter minimizing clothing at ALL times during lab exercises.
Students that do not conform to these requirements will NOT be admitted to the lab. Contact us for details.
This Data Recovery Training neatly meshes the skills required in order to recover lost data. Some of the attention-grabbing lectures and hands-on lab exercises you will do during the class:
To assist students in continuing work in the data recovery profession, InfoSec Institute has compiled a customer Physical Data Recovery & Forensics Toolkit.
This toolkit contains the physical tools you will need in order to perform data recovery of Hard Disk Drives (HDD) as well as Solid State Drives (SSD). The toolkit is only available for purchase to enrolled InfoSec Institute Data Recovery students, and is not available for resale. The toolkit contains:

"This was a phenomenal class! The instructor was extremely knowledgeable and crafted the exercises so that we truly learned the material. I have a whole new appreciation for how vulnerabilities are exploited. I have gained very practical skills and knowledge in this class which will help me tremendously in my job. I will highly recommend this course to all of my co-workers. This class should be a must for any true security professional. There were several moments during the week when I was amazed at how vulnerable systems truly are. The practical labs and competition teams made the experience fun. I have learned some extremely valuable skills."
"The class was great! The instructor knew his his information very well. It was nice to have someone who is more than just book knowledge, someone who is just giving you the info for the cert test. His hands on experience in real world pen-testing was invaluable, as it gave a touch-stone to how the methods learned in class can be extended to real pen-testing."
"I got a lot out of the real world scenarios presented in class. Jeremy is very knowledgeable in the field of penetration testing. Would definitely take classes again if he is the instructor. The course books are a great reference, and it was nice to have a dedicated training laptop provided by Infosec and not have to bring my own and waste time installing programs during class"
"Dan is an excellent instructor and incredibly knowledgeable. Great presenter and very helpful. The course was very intense but well structured. The hours were long but it really allows you to get your head wrapped around it. Slide notes were very good as well as the lab pre-info. The labs tied well into the course. The content and knowledge gained will be invaluable to my career."
The Certified Data Recovery Professional (CDRP) tests a candidate's fundamental knowledge of data recovery. Candidates must have the skills to successfully recover data from damaged or partially destroyed hard drives, sold state media and removable media. In addition to physical data recovery concepts tested, students must know how to perform logical recovery on common operating systems.
