After more than a decade in academia, teaching thousands of students and professionals, I’ve decided to return to the world of consulting. I’m deeply grateful to my family for their unwavering support and to everyone who has helped me grow into the person I am today. #DFIR

Three years ago a law enforcement CTF team asked us about a disk image they were told was neutered & could not be launched into a virtual machine. Arsenal Image Mounter launched it into a VM fine & provided access to all the "suspect’s" secrets w/o Windows credentials. How? #DFIR
Arsenal Image Mounter v3.11.307 is now available with minor fixes & other improvements which include improved handling of corrupt Registry hives when launching virtual machines. See the change log for more information. arsenalrecon.com/downloads #DFIR
