Current and Next-Generation Digital Forensics
Digital evidence exists on a wide variety of devices, from traditional computers to PDAs, voice recorders, game consoles, and cell phones. This talk provides an introduction to digital forensics, the art (and science) of discovering and preserving digital evidence, from two perspectives: digital investigation and research. The talk covers basic concepts, best practices, common data-hiding techniques, investigative challenges, and what is (and isn't) recoverable. Most important, it examines the major limitations of current-generation tools and discusses next-generation approaches that may help investigators to deal with the ever-increasing size and complexity of forensics targets. These approaches cover a wide spectrum, from applying research in bioinformatics to the use of parallel and distributed architectures, Graphics Processing Units (GPUs), advanced file-carving techniques, and tools for live investigation.
