"Attached" generally just means connected to. It can also refer to someone liking someone else. "He was attached to me" "The dog was attached to a pole".
In emails, it is often used as a noun to refer to a file that comes with the email, maybe a picture or a document. "I read the attached and thought it was great!"
"Forensics" is a branch branch of policing, where officers look at the details of the crime scene and work out what happened, such as the position of a body, or fingerprints on weapons.
In your example, it's an adjective which means "specific" or "tiny".
"Other-than-Orthodox" is another way of saying "Unorthodox", which means unusual. "Unorhodox" is slightly negative, so "Other-than-Orthodox" is used.
Hopefully that helps.
