Forensic capture from the browser · VERIDICA 1.0

Online content changes.
Preserve what you observed.

Web pages, social media posts, WhatsApp and Telegram conversations: VERIDICA captures them from your browser, computes a SHA-256 hash for every file and every message, and produces a PDF report that states method and limits. No data leaves your computer.

The problem

What you see today may be gone tomorrow

A post is edited. A profile disappears. A chat is deleted. Anyone working on online content needs to freeze the moment they observed it, with enough context to tell — and defend — it months later.

Content disappears

Deletions, closed accounts, content removed after a report. Without a timely capture, only the memory remains.

Content changes

An edited text, a corrected date, a replaced image. A screenshot alone does not say when it was taken or from where.

Evidence gets scattered

Different folders, improvised names, no record of which file belongs to which case or whether it is still intact.

Five modules

From the page to the case file, in one click

Select a module to see what it produces. Every module works the same way: preserved files, hashes, report.

TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, YouTube and more: the page, the media and the session you saw them with.

  • Full page and source, with hashes
  • Every image and video preserved and hashed

Messenger → whole conversations, attachments included

VERIDICA reads the conversation from the page’s data model: no scrolling, no voice notes played, no read or listened receipts generated by the tool.

  • IDs, platform timestamps, delivery status, forwards, edits
  • History older than 90 days requested from the linked phone
  • Attachments from 4 sources: local cache, server, phone, page
  • Hash compared with the one declared by WhatsApp

Report → a PDF that stands up to cross-examination

Native text, selectable, laid out for reading. It says what was captured, how, and what could not be captured.

  • Summary, method and alteration statement
  • Numbered messages, never split across two pages
  • A hash for every message and a chain for the whole conversation
  • Hashes of the HTML report, the JSON data and every attachment

Custody → the case file is already in order

Every capture goes into the case folder, split by module, with chain of custody and an acquisition record.

  • One folder per case: Capture, Social, Messenger, Custody, Record
  • Chain of custody with hashes and session timestamps
  • Acquisition record with operator and case reference
  • No loose files in the Downloads folder

Why VERIDICA

The difference from the tools you know

We do not promise «legal value»: no software can guarantee it on its own. We promise a stated, verifiable method — and capabilities the others lack.

Transparency

Stated limits

We write them here because the report always writes them. A forensic tool that hides its limits is not forensic.

WhatsApp Web only receives the last ~90 days from the phone

VERIDICA requests older messages from the phone with the same procedure as the page. The phone must be on, unlocked and connected; otherwise the report states «phone not reachable».

WhatsApp media stay on the servers for a limited time

VERIDICA looks for them in the local cache, on the server, on the phone and in the page. Anything found in none of the four sources is stated as not captured, with name, type, size and declared hash.

Timestamps

Message timestamps are those recorded by the platform; the capture time comes from the operator’s computer clock, not certified by a third party.

Platforms

Signal has no web client: no extension can capture it. Telegram is supported in the web K version.

VERIDICA does not bypass protections or access other people’s accounts

It captures what the operator, with their own session, already sees. Use on third-party accounts requires a legal basis: the operator is responsible.

FAQ

Before you ask for a quote

Does captured data go through your servers?

No. There is no VERIDICA server: everything is written to the Downloads folder of the operator’s computer. Licences are verified locally with a cryptographic signature.

Does capturing a WhatsApp chat alert the other party?

No. VERIDICA reads the page’s data model without scrolling the conversation or opening voice notes and media: the tool generates no read or listened receipts. Unread messages are marked as read only because the operator opened the chat, and the report says so.

What does the report attest?

What the platform’s page made visible to the operator in the stated period, with the stated session; the SHA-256 hashes of the preserved files; the method followed and the limits encountered. It does not attest the existence of data on the platform’s servers or on third-party devices.

How do I verify a hash?

With built-in operating system tools: certutil -hashfile file SHA256 on Windows, shasum -a 256 on macOS, sha256sum on Linux. The value must match the one in the report.

How does the licence work?

Per workstation, annual, bound to the installation. Store updates do not affect it. Modules are activated with additional keys on the same installation.

Can I use it as a party-appointed or court-appointed expert?

Yes: the report shows operator, firm or organisation, identifier (registry or badge number) and case reference. The certified course provides the method to explain it in court.

What happens when the licence expires?

New captures stop; the case files already produced remain on your computer, intact and verifiable.
