Drone forensic timeline
A DJI drone flight-artifact parser for forensic timeline reconstruction.
Context
Digital forensics research (Jun 2025) on DJI drone flight artifacts.
Problem
Drone flight data is spread across several artifacts, making it hard to build a sequence of events for an investigation.
Approach
I built a parser for DJI drone flight artifacts to reconstruct a forensic timeline, and contributed to open-source tooling.
Result
Flight timelines can be built from artifacts that previously had to be read by hand.
What I learned
In forensics, data integrity and documented steps matter as much as the analysis itself.
