What it is
The research blog of Hexordia, a mobile forensics training and consulting firm, with posts from a named group of contributors including Jessica Hyde, Adam Hachem, Nicholas Dubois, Elizabeth McPherson, Debbie Garner and Kim Gatson.
Who it is for, and when
The strongest material is on iOS and Android acquisition and on validating what a commercial tool claims it extracted. It also publishes on the Hexordia virtual machine and other tooling, which is useful if you want a reproducible mobile analysis environment. Most recent post 9 June 2026.
What it does not cover
It is mobile-first, with little on Windows endpoint, cloud or network work, and it is a vendor blog for a training company, so posts often point toward Hexordia courses.
