Following on from this post WhatsApp network forensics 2017/06/whatsapp-network-forensics.html you may know WhatsApp changed the protocol to 'Open Whisper System's Signal Protocol end-to-end encryption'. A useful analysis of "Signal" can be found here regarding capturing the “ratcheting” key update structure: A Formal Security Analysis of the Signal Messaging Protocol https://eprint.iacr.org/

Just started a new LinkedIn group called 'Universal Network Investigations (UNI)'. It is a group only for those involved in the wider area of fixed, mobile and large-scale computer networks. The group exists to assist cyber, forensics and fault-finding investigations: to exchange observations and sharing 'intel' in a closed forum discussing fixed and mobile network investigations - trace data

Previous studies have mostly discussed mobile forensics only in data acquisition terms and only in a problem solving scenario, as a subset to computer forensics. These studies did not take mobile forensics beyond the paradigm that is known as computer forensics. Additionally, they have not addressed the elements of MF comprehensively, and the previous research in the MF domain did not focus on

With many companies allowing employees to use their own smartphones in the workplace it has been noted confidential information maybe being unwitting leaked as users take to using their smartphone cameras to take photos of Whiteboard content, potentially risking disclosure (mentioned by the Information Security Community).

Many discussions take place during training which unearth useful guidance for practices and procedures. Also, tips and tricks are also revealed. From the MTEB Tool Testing training papers 2015 - iPhone TDEL034 (test device entry level) strategies and pre-planning - it is used to illustrate potential stages for obtaining images that produce a baseline test data to enable repeated testing to

I was intending to raise this point some months back but due to other pressing issues I had forgotten to do so. It relates to a quote used in a presentation from Nokia 'The known unknowns of SS7 and beyond: Evolution of Telco Attacks'.  Are cyber events such as DDoS, Malware, SS7 attacks, Dirty/Nasty USSD, dirty data_ark  and so on following some sort of noble objectives to be comprehended

Within the digital forensics arena there is discomfort amongst labs, academia, businesses and practitioners that ISO/IEC 17025 'General requirements for the competence of testing and calibration laboratories' is not a comfortable fit for digital forensics. Very few digital forensics laboratories and businesses have been accredited so far. To get an understanding of concerns obtained from a
