Interesting paper from Hannes Spichiger & Hexordia’s Frank Adelstein on “Preserving meaning of evidence from evolving systems” - how do we test to ensure that we understand the meaning of data at the time it was created? #DFIR www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Preserving meaning of evidence from evolving systems

Preservation is generally considered as the step in the forensic process that stops evidence from decaying. In this paper, we argue that the tradition…

Acquisition 👏 is 👏 Preservation! Without it we are loosing potentially Exculpatory and Inculpatory evidence. #DFIR www.forensicmag.com/3425-Feature...

Data Preservation on Mobile Devices: The Quicker, The Better

Recent updates to mobile phone technology have changed the current playing field in terms of ensuring the most complete technology.

Important must read position paper from Scientific Working Group on Digital Evidence (SWGDE) about the use of timely acquisition to preserve evidence. Mobile data has potential to degrade each day you wait to do an acquisition. #DFIR www.swgde.org/25-f-001/

Missed the @magnetforensics.bsky.social Virtual Summit #CTF but want the images for testing and learning? We have already shared them with @nist.bsky.social CFReDS cfreds.nist.gov/all/Hexordia...

Many thanks to Magnet Forensics, Hexordia, and the CTF authors for this great experience! Glad the timing worked out that I was able to participate - really enjoyable, creative, and challenging. Still may go back and look at some more of these questions..

Sometimes you need to deal with data from a protocol buffer. Here are some tools to help! #DFIR github.com/protocolbuff... github.com/mildsunrise/... www.cclsolutionsgroup.com/forensic-pro... (Grab a 30 day trial of this - it does SO MUCH more!)

#DFIR 💭 of the Day: AI doesn’t know what it doesn’t know. This is one of the super powers of Human #DFIR pros - when we don’t know - we test, we validate, we learn. And those findings aren’t always what a “synthesized assumption” would propose as an axiom.

#DFIR 💭 of the day: it is critical that Legal Professionals understand digital evidence While digital forensics professionals are there to give meaning and detailed analysis, legal professionals still need education. Great content at the Magnet Forensics User Summit! magnetusersummit.com/passes/

#DFIR 💭 of the day: Our digital devices are noisy, even when we aren’t using them. It is incredible how much happens in the background of these devices. Looking at live logs is incredibly helpful when researching how data is stored in historical logs! youtu.be/JAcvwbpJ4gA
