E-mail Tracing Cost $1,000.00 with a non-refundable advance of $600.00 and $400.00 upon completion.
Razor Consulting Inc. does not make any promises or guarantees that we will find the owner of an email address. What we can tell you is that we use every known methodology to determine who the owner of an email address is, from the simple and non-technical methods to the more complex and technical methods. This is why our fee for this service is set at what it is.
In addition to using all known methodologies to determine the owner of an email address, we also validate the results of our Email Trace by confirming them with three (3) different and separate sources for a match. This is a very time consuming process in the easiest of scenarios in an Email Trace, and we charge for our time and skill. For the purpose of this fee listing and Email Trace also applies to tracing Forum Postings, Bulletin Board Postings, Usenet Postings, and Private Group Postings.
Internet Profile $500.00 with a non-refundable advance of $200.00 and $300.00 upon completion.
An Internet Profile is a profile of a person’s activities while they are online. An Internet Profile relies on exhaustive searches with various software and Internet applications to “footprint” a subject’s movement while on the Internet. A proper Internet Profile is very time consuming.
Literally hundreds of search sites are used to conduct this kind of research. Each piece of data that is obtained must be read, sifted through for pertinent content, validated for data integrity, and categorized to produce a comprehensive report. This can take up to sixteen (16) hours of continuous work.
Forensic Hard Drive Examination $175.00/Hr. with a non-refundable advance of $3,500.00. This includes court testimony. All travel and reasonable expenses are paid by the client.
A Forensic Hard Drive Examination is a very complicated process that involves analyzing the hard drive of a computer bit by bit to find evidence that can be used in court. The process is time consuming, requires great attention to detail, and absolutely HAS to adhere to certain standards to be accepted in a court of law.
The Examiner MUST know what he or she is doing, understand the process that is required to make his or her evidence admissible by court standards, be willing to spend enormous amounts of time going over very detailed data, and must know how to communicate very technical issues in an easy to understand way. The reports that are produced from this type of examination are lengthy; Razor Consulting Inc. records video footage of the actual examination, and always uses two (2) competent computer technicians to do the examination, to insure there is a witness to back up our results. If these examinations are done correctly, they can take up to two (2) weeks to complete. Razor Consulting Inc. does two (2) Forensic Hard Drive Examinations on two different computer platforms, and compares the results for data integrity. Razor Consulting Inc.'s S.O.P. for performing a Forensic Hard Drive Examination is virtually undisputable in a court of law.
Network & Computer Penetration Testing $150.00/Hr. with a non-refundable advance of $1,500.00
A Penetration Test of a Network or a stand-alone Computer is the process of determining the vulnerabilities of a group of networked (connected) computers or one single stand alone computer in hopes of strengthening the network or the stand alone computer to a secure point, so that it can’t be compromised by technical hacking attempts.
This process has to be thorough, there is much data to be reviewed and researched in most cases, and the results must be validated rigorously for false positives and false negatives. Where necessary patches can be deployed remotely, they will be after it is determined that the patches will benefit system security and not hinder computer operations and functionality.
A report is then generated with all of the vulnerabilities that were found, all of the patches that could be remotely deployed, update recommendations, and links to the patches that could not be remotely deployed. Razor Consulting Inc. uses several state of the art port scanners and vulnerability scanners, and hand tests each found vulnerability. Razor Consulting Inc. uses multiple platforms to scan the remote system from, and a variety of scanners and exploitation software to arrive at the most accurate vulnerability assessment possible.
All scan results, and responses to the individual exploit testing are made available with a summary report that details the level of risk the system is assessed at in great detail. The scanning phase of this service alone can take up to four (4) days.
