BER LA
Berla is software that is used during the process of forensic investigation
to read and understand the data vehicle stores. This software allows fo-

rensic investigators to “identify, acquire, and analyse critical information

stored within vehicle systems to uncover key evidence that determines

what happened, where it occurred, and who was involved.”

Berla is able to retrieve logs such as odometer readings, gear shifts, speed

logs, ignition cycles, etc. which creates a timeline of an event before and
immediately after an incident that can be used as evidence in a court of

law.

iVe is an ecosystem consisting of multiple tools to help investigate an en-

tire vehicle with a mobile application to identify vehicles and a hardware

kit to acquire systems and analyse data. As of August 22, 2022, version

4.0 has been released, which is able to uncover more data and provide
investigators with key information which can be used as evidence by ac-

cessing the electronic control units of cars.

they are compared with the biometric database, it gives the calculated

similarity score.
