DFRWS 2005 a success!
Radio silence for a long time. Busy, busy.
The 5th Annual Digital Forensic Research Workshop (DFRWS 2005) concluded on Friday, August 19, 2005 and chats w/ people at the conference as well as the exit questionnaires point at a successful workshop. The conference proceedings are now online at the DFRWS web site.
Some very interesting papers, including a look at data hiding in journalling filesystems, automatic detection of evidentiary "outliers", and a close look at anti-forensics tools.
Lots of discussion about live analysis and memory analysis. Development of decent memory analysis tools for both on-the-spot and memory dump analysis is going to be crucial.
Major complaints from law enforcement about the current state of digital investigation: speed. Cases are getting bigger and the current generation of hardware/software isn't keeping up. Vassil and I have been advocating a distributed approach for almost two years and we still see this as the only long-term solution.
The Scalpel presentation went pretty well and the tool was used in the "forensic rodeo", a brief forensic challenge that I was responsible for cooking up this year.
Location for next year is under consideration--Purdue seems to be a likely candidate.
