Building the technology needed for efficient, successful child exploitation investigations is as much a team effort as the investigations themselves. Many of the technologies used to capture, categorize, and analyze evidentiary pictures and videos complement one another, filling gaps in the investigative toolbox. When organizations can come together to integrate their technologies, however, they...

At times over the past three years, Apple’s mobile operating system changes seemed so mercurial that the parallels to tweens’ rapid maturation couldn’t be missed. iOS 10 changed the backup structure, plist files, and in its later iterations, encryption. iOS 11 introduced Emergency SOS mode, relied more on PIN codes than biometric authentication, and added...

Computer memory is more than just another digital data source in an investigation—it’s a potential trove of actionable intelligence. Faster than acquiring a hard drive and composed of no more than a few gigabytes (compared to potentially terabytes of data), evidence found in memory can focus and shape interviews of compliant victims, witnesses, and suspects,...

Few incident responders dispute the importance of memory analysis in incident response. Not only is memory acquisition faster than acquiring the hard drives of multiple (even hundreds of) computers; it’s often the only source of evidence in an ongoing attack. Frequently, memory contains valuable traces of system activity even when the attacker takes steps to...
