What We Analyze in Your Email

📍

Sender IP Address & Location

Trace the true originating IP address and geographic location. Identify the actual sender even when email addresses are spoofed or forged.

🛤️

Message Route & Path

Map the complete journey from sender to recipient. Identify every mail server, relay, and gateway the email passed through with timestamps.

🎭

Spoofing & Tampering Detection

Identify forged headers, spoofed sender addresses, and message tampering. Detect discrepancies between claimed and actual sender.

🔐

Authentication Analysis (SPF/DKIM/DMARC)

Verify email authentication mechanisms. Determine if the email passed or failed SPF, DKIM, and DMARC checks indicating legitimacy.

🎣

Phishing Indicators

Identify phishing attempts through header analysis. Detect suspicious links, forged sender domains, and social engineering tactics.

⏰

Timeline Analysis

Examine timestamps throughout the email's journey. Identify time discrepancies that may indicate manipulation or reveal actual send times.

📧

Email Client Identification

Determine which email client or software was used to send the message. Identify unique signatures and fingerprints left by mailers.

🔍

Metadata Extraction

Extract and analyze all email metadata including message IDs, return paths, reply-to addresses, and non-standard headers.

🔧 How Email Forensic Analysis Works

1️⃣ Submit Your Email

Forward the suspicious email to our forensic analysis address or upload the email file (.eml, .msg, or raw headers). Include any context about why the email is being investigated - legal case, harassment, suspected phishing, etc. This helps us focus the analysis.

2️⃣ Expert Header Analysis

Our forensic specialists extract and analyze all email headers reading them chronologically from bottom to top. We trace the originating IP address, identify all mail servers in the transmission path, verify authentication mechanisms, check for header tampering, and examine timestamps for discrepancies.

3️⃣ Sender Identification & Verification

We perform reverse DNS lookups, IP geolocation, ISP identification, and cross-reference claimed sender information against actual technical data. If the "From" address is spoofed, we identify the true sender. We verify whether the email originated from the claimed organization or domain.

4️⃣ Threat & Authenticity Assessment

Our experts evaluate SPF/DKIM/DMARC results, identify phishing indicators, assess spoofing sophistication, determine sender intent, and provide professional opinion on email legitimacy. We categorize findings as legitimate, suspicious, or definitively malicious.

5️⃣ Comprehensive Report Delivery

Within 24 hours, you receive a detailed PDF report with executive summary, technical findings, visual diagrams, raw header data, expert conclusions, and recommendations. The report is suitable for presenting to solicitors, police, HR departments, or courts as evidence.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is email forensic analysis?

Email forensic analysis is the detailed technical examination of email headers and metadata to determine authenticity, trace the true sender, detect spoofing or tampering, and provide evidence-quality documentation. Our experts analyze technical fields that reveal the email's true origin, path, and legitimacy - information not visible to regular email users but critical for investigations.

Can you trace the sender even if they used a fake email address?

Yes, usually. Email headers contain the originating IP address regardless of what "From" address is shown. We trace this IP to identify the ISP, geographic location, and often the actual sender. Header spoofing can fake the displayed sender, but technical headers reveal the truth. However, sophisticated attackers using anonymization services may be harder to trace definitively.

Is your report admissible in court?

Yes. Our forensic reports are prepared to evidence standards suitable for legal proceedings. They include detailed technical analysis, clear methodology, expert conclusions, and complete raw data for verification. Solicitors and courts regularly accept email forensic reports as evidence. However, admissibility ultimately depends on the judge and jurisdiction - consult your solicitor.

What do I need to provide?

Forward the complete suspicious email to our analysis address (preserving all headers) or upload the email file (.eml, .msg format). Include brief context: why you're investigating, what you suspect, what you need to prove. The more context you provide, the better we can focus the analysis on relevant issues.

How long does analysis take?

Standard turnaround is 24 hours from receipt of payment and email. Rush analysis (same-day or 4-hour) available for urgent legal deadlines or security incidents at additional cost. Complex cases involving multiple emails or extensive investigation may take longer - we'll advise timing upfront.

Can you analyze emails from any provider?

Yes. Email headers follow standard protocols regardless of provider (Gmail, Outlook, Yahoo, corporate Exchange, etc.). We analyze emails from any provider, webmail service, or mail server. The forensic techniques apply universally to all standards-compliant email systems.

What if the sender used a VPN or proxy?

VPNs and proxies hide the sender's true IP address, showing the VPN/proxy server instead. We'll identify that a VPN or proxy was used and determine which service. While this limits pinpointing the exact sender location, it's still valuable evidence showing the sender attempted to hide identity - itself suspicious and relevant to investigations.

Can you prove an email is fake?

Often yes. We identify header tampering, failed authentication checks (SPF/DKIM/DMARC), mismatched sender information, impossible transmission paths, or forged timestamps. If headers show the email didn't originate from the claimed sender or organization, we document this as evidence. Some sophisticated forgeries are harder to definitively prove, but anomalies raise red flags.

Do you analyze email content or just headers?

Our £1 service focuses on header forensics - the technical metadata revealing sender, path, and authenticity. We note obvious phishing indicators in content (suspicious links, urgent language) but don't perform deep content analysis. For detailed content examination, malware analysis, or attachment inspection, additional services are required.

Can I get multiple emails analyzed?

Absolutely. Each email is £1 to analyze. For related emails in the same case (e.g., harassment campaign, ongoing fraud), we can provide volume discounts and a consolidated report showing patterns across multiple messages. Contact us for bulk analysis pricing.
