Let me Google that for you…

Corey Harrell (Journey into IR blog) has started to develop the Digital Forensics Search. Check it out and give your support.

Have you ever run a *insert search engine* search to locate information about an artifact only to find a listing of mostly irrelevant hits? A lot of time is wasted going through the irrelevant hits to locate the few websites with information that helps you better see how the artifacts fit into your forensic examination. Wouldn't it be better if the majority of the search hits were in the context of digital forensics or incident response, thereby making the hits more relevant to your forensic examination? Here is the formal introduction of the Digital Forensic Search engine.

Douglas,

It never occured to me to post the link to the search in forums. Thanks for thinking of it and posting the link.

In theory the search could help out forums by weeding out the questions that can be answered by performing a quick search. I said theory since it still requires a search to be performed prior to posting a question.

Your Theory will surely be tested here )

Great job Corey…I've used it a few times already and gotten right to my answer.

I'm glad others have found the custom search helpful the way I have. I'm looking for more sites and I thought others in this forum could provide some suggestions.

Is anyone aware of DFIR repositories containing papers (i.e. research or white papers) and/or presentations?

I have a few sites such as Brian Carrier, Craig Ball, SANs, and e-evidence that contain papers but I'm trying to find more sites with similar content.
I'm open to papers from tool websites if it is not solely about a tool and academia if the content is practical.

To help avoid responses about websites I already know about the link below contains everything indexed so far. The websites are listed right after the numerous blogs.

Thanks in advanced for any suggestions.
