Data Recovery Training Boot Camp

The Infosec Data Recovery course provides in-depth 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:

• A Class 100 Clean Room Environment (maintains less than one hundred particles larger than 0.5 microns in each cubic foot of air space)
• A SMD Rework station for diagnosis and removal of SMD components on Hard Disk Drives and Solid State Drives
• Platter and head exchanging station with head combs for single and multi-platter swaps
• Data recovery tools including write blockers, micro-tweezers dental picks, anti-static gloves and finger cots, and much more
• Data Recovery Workstation with associated drive connectors and BIOS bypass tools

Exam Pass Guarantee — If you don’t pass your exam on the first attempt, get a second attempt for free; includes the ability to re-sit the course for free for up to one year

100% Satisfaction Guarantee — If you’re not 100% satisfied with your training at the end of the first day, you may enroll in a different Flex Pro or Flex Classroom course

Knowledge Transfer Guarantee — If an employee leaves within three months of obtaining certification, Infosec will train a different employee at the same organization tuition-free for up to one year

It is imperative to learn how to perform physical data recovery in a Class 100 clean room training environment, as provided by Infosec. Even the smallest piece of dust that falls on an exposed drive platter can damage it irreparably, making data unrecoverable.

You will learn:

• How to diagnose faulty PCBs and how to swap them with working PCBs
• Critical Surface Mounted Device (SMD) rework skills using a heat gun
• Identifying donor ROM SMDs and using rework flux to replace non-functional ROM chips
• How to exchange drive platters and heads — a critical skill that requires expert instruction
• The proper method for head and platter swapping
• Voice coil diagnosis and repair
• Secrets of Firmware and Service Area (SA) repair for many different types of drives, including Western Digital, Maxtor, IBM and Seagate hard drives
• How to determine the secrets of RAID recovery, including RAID 5 recovery when one or more disks have been damaged
• 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.
