Mission Darkness Charge & Shield Faraday Phone Bag

To effectively access and recover data from cell phones and similar electronics, the latest forensic tools require devices to stay live. The Mission Darkness™ Non-window Charge & Shield Faraday Bag is designed to keep a device powered while shielded from RF signals.  When a device is enclosed in the bag, no apps or malicious code can be remotely triggered, no communication can penetrate, and no one can access the microphone, camera, GPS location, or data.

Each bag includes a dual-sided USB filter with external cable lock, patented NeoLok™ magnetic closure system for safe use with conductive gloves, and a variety of device charging cables. The unique charging feature prevents lockout mode and reduces the amount of time needed to break a passcode, enabling the maximum amount of data extraction and unlocking with tools like GrayKey, Cellebrite, XRY, BlackBag and Oxygen.

The shielded USB filter and cable kit enables the device to connect to any rechargeable battery or permanent power source. The zipper pocket on the back side of the bag holds the included cable tips – simply connect the device to the internal side of the USB filter using the compatible tip. A device inside can receive power while it is transferred between locations such as a vehicle, charging bank, evidence cabinet, or stationed at a desk with a power outlet, until it can be analyzed in a different location. For data extraction, the user simply disconnects the power source and connects to an extraction tool. The bag can be placed in a forensic Faraday box such as the BlockBox Lab and the device inside transferred for shielded data extraction.

Serialised: Each bag has a unique serial number for asset tracking and evidence chain-of-custody documentation.

Features:

• Large enough to accommodate a phone plus the filter cable connection
• Can be used independently or with our Blocker Locker™ system
• Comprehensive charging cable kit included
• Compatible with Charge Preserve Evidence Bag: allows investigators to charge and isolate seized devices without compromising physical or digital evidence. Sealing the device inside the Charge Preserve Evidence Bag first prevents contamination of the Charge and Shield Faraday Bag, preserving DNA and other physical evidence while prolonging the Faraday bag’s cleanliness and re-usability.
• Available in tablet size

RF Isolation & Shielding:

• TitanRF™ Faraday Fabric is certified by Keystone Compliance to MIL STD 188-125 (shields against High-altitude Electromagnetic Pulses) and IEEE 299-2006 (effectiveness of electromagnetic shielding)
• Blocks all RF signals including WiFi (2.4 to 5GHz), Bluetooth, Cellular (including 5G), GPS, RFID, NFC, and radio signals from low MHz to 40GHz, with 90dB+ average attenuation
• Blocks carrier, hardware, and OS agnostics
• Shields against EMP, HEMP, CME, Solar Flares
• Blocks device hacking, tracking, remote wiping and remote detonation

Construction:

• The exterior is constructed of water-resistant Ballistic nylon
• The interior has two layers of high-shielding TitanRF™ Faraday Fabric on all sides with dual paired seam construction
• Patented NeoLok™ closure system consisting of a double roll with a magnetic seal, plus quick-snap closure strap (safe for use with conductive gloves) – Pat. US11284546B2
• Integrated cable lock on the external side of the USB filter to reduce chances of the cable unintentionally disconnecting
• Closable pocket on back to place evidence card or agency information

Dimensions: Internal usable dimensions: 12.5″ x 9″ (31.8cm x 22.9cm) – universal fit for all cell phone models

Included in the Kit:
