SS8 and Fox-IT Provide State-of-the-Art IP Analysis Tool

In this episode recorded in July, Si and Desi take advantage of Christa's absence to pepper up their speech (but only just a bit). Content warnings aside, this week their free-form conversation discusses:

- Public speaking, whether giving evidence on the stand, presenting to stakeholders following an incident response, or delivering training materials

- The relative benefits of unscripted interactions vs. scripted material, depending on audience

- How pandemic-driven modalities affected speaking delivery (and even job interviews) in terms of nonverbal (body) language, with and without cameras

- Presentation material creation tools

- The need for, and difficulty of, getting good feedback

There's also a preview of their upcoming conversation on training and certification.

Video evidence “can be as voluminous as mobile device data, if not more so, and there are limited tools available to reliably enhance and analyze video” according to the International Association of Chiefs of Police. Yet digital forensic examiners are often asked to recover video evidence in a variety of cases, regardless of prior training or experience in this particular field.

In this introductory session, we’ll discuss common terminology used in this space, as well as the challenges associated with traditional video recovery from surveillance systems. We’ll conclude with an introduction and demo of DVR Examiner which can be used to reduce or eliminate some of the common challenges.

Si and Christa talk with Pablo Lopez Aguilar-Beltran about Project LOCARD, its purpose, and how it all go started, including:

- Why blockchain could be the foundation for improving international cooperation while maintaining compliance with privacy and other legal requirements
- Challenges associated with standardizing any platform across borders, as well as fostering implementation and participation
- The need for better digital evidence literacy among lawyers and judges, even as the digital aspects of crime accelerate past governments' abilities to legislate and enforce laws
