U.S.-Based Certified Digital Forensics Expert Needed to Authenticate bolthires Videos Upload Origin

Project Overview I am seeking a U.S.-based, court-recognized Digital Forensics Examiner with formal forensic certifications (CFCE, EnCE, GCFA, CCE, MCFE, CHFI, etc.) to prepare a Daubert-compliant expert report in a Florida civil appeal case involving alleged defamatory bolthires videos. Your role will be to perform a forensically sound acquisition, authenticate the videos, analyze metadata and encoding lineage, identify re-upload indicators, and assess upload timing behavior. You will also evaluate whether available evidence supports or contradicts a U.S.-based upload origin, and prepare a legally admissible expert report. Required Digital Forensic Certifications (Must Have at least ONE) Applicants must hold one or more of the following verifiable, recognized digital forensic certifications: MANDATORY (at least one): CFCE — Certified Forensic Computer Examiner EnCE — EnCase Certified Examiner GCFA — GIAC Certified Forensic Analyst CCE — Certified Computer Examiner MCFE — Magnet Certified Forensic Examiner CHFI — Computer Hacking Forensic Investigator Preference given to U.S.-based experts with courtroom testimony experience. Scope of Work 1. Evidence Preservation Forensic acquisition of 6 bolthires videos + one Facebook page and one LinkedIn profile Hashing using SHA-256 Documentation of environment and chain-of-custody logs 2. Authentication & Integrity Testing Detect tampering, manipulation, splicing, recompression, or deepfake cues Encoding/transcoding lineage analysis Determine whether the files appear to be original uploads or re-uploads 3. Metadata, Timing, and Upload Pattern Analysis Extract available metadata from bolthires transcodes Evaluate CDN behavior, posting windows, cross-platform timing Identify indicators consistent with U.S. upload patterns (EST) Clearly explain limitations (no IP/geolocation without subpoena) 4. OSINT Correlation Compare posting times and activity across platforms Analyze channel history and posting rhythm Assess timezone-consistent behavior 5. Expert Report (Daubert-Compliant) Qualifications and certifications Tools and methodology (repeatable, transparent, widely accepted) Findings and conclusions Limitations of analysis Full appendices (hashes, tool outputs, screenshots) Chain of custody Statement of truth 6. (Optional) Expert Testimony If required by the Florida court, remote or in-person testimony. Required Experience Applicants must have: ✔️ Digital forensics certification (CFCE / EnCE / GCFA / CCE / MCFE / CHFI) ✔️ Experience preparing court-admissible forensic reports ✔️ Familiarity with SWGDE, NIST, and ASTM E2825 standards ✔️ Ability to clearly explain what can and cannot be inferred from bolthires evidence ✔️ Knowledge of bolthires transcoding, metadata removal, and platform behavior ✔️ Experience working on U.S. civil or criminal cases Preferred Tools Magnet AXIOM Amped Authenticate Amped FIVE (optional) X-Ways / EnCase ExifTool, MediaInfo OSINT frameworks (Maltego, SpiderFoot, etc.) Payment Structure (Milestone-Based) Milestone 1 — Initial Deposit (50%) Released upon award of the project. Includes: Forensic acquisition of all evidence Delivery of metadata extraction Authentication findings Upload-timing analysis OSINT correlation Full Daubert-compliant signed expert report, including methodology, findings, limitations, SHA-256 hashes, and all appendices Milestone 2 — Testimony / Affidavit (50%) Released after: Delivery of a sworn affidavit, declaration, or Remote/in-person testimony (if required by the Florida court) Application Requirements (Must Answer All) Which forensic certification(s) do you hold? (Provide issuing body, year, credential ID, verification link.) Have you previously testified or had a forensic report admitted in U.S. court? Short description only. What forensic tools will you use for this analysis? Explain your high-level methodology for: transcoding-lineage analysis upload-timing inference chain-of-custody preservation Can you produce a sample (redacted) forensic report you authored? How soon can you begin, and what is your estimated delivery timeline? NOTE: EXCLUSIONS Do NOT apply if you do not hold a recognized forensic certification. (CEH, OSCP, CISSP, CCNP, CCIE alone do not qualify — this project requires digital forensics examiners.) To Apply Submit your certification details, short methodology summary, and any sample work.
