Thoughts, musings, knowledge, etc. about digital forensics. As well as how computer science, IT (information technology) and IS (information security) relate.
Every now and again, I get the question about why we starting counting things such as arrays, offsets, etc. with zero (0) and not one (1). The answer is simple, when specifying a data structure, we normally specify the byte (or whatever unit) offset for the start of a field for a specific data structure. [...]
So, there has been a lot of talk over the past few years about using MD5 hash sums in digital forensics, due to the fact that some collisions have been found for MD5.
First, a hash algorithm/function has the following properties:
1) The algorithm takes in a variable sized input data and transforms the data into a [...]
For years I’ve carried around a small notebook, one of the spiral bound that is almost a 3×5 card size. I’ve even got a nice leather cover for them somewhere at my Dad’s house. I normally use the notebook to do things like take case notes, observations, grocery lists, etc. The most recent notebook had [...]
This blog will be a spot where I post thoughts about theoretical computer science (computing theory), digital forensics, information security, and other miscellaneous musings, and optionally their relation to digital forensics
