An Analytical Approach to the Recovery of Data From 3rd Party Proprietary CCTV File Systems
15th European Conference on Cyber Warfare and Security (ECCWS 2016)
This paper presents an analytical approach to recovering data from 3rd party proprietary CCTV file systems, focusing on a Ganz CCTV DVR model C-MPDVR-16. The authors reverse engineer the proprietary file system, enabling the retrieval of the oldest video footage possible. The method is evaluated using a case study, demonstrating the feasibility of recovering video footage from a DVR with no initial knowledge or documentation available.
