Johnny Long: Death By 1000 cuts

Black Hat Briefings, Las Vegas 2006 [Video] Presentations from the security conference

In this day and age, forensics evidence lurks everywhere. This talk takes attendees on a brisk walk through the modern technological landscape in search of hidden digital data. Some hiding places are more obvious than others, but far too many devices are overlooked in a modern forensics investigation. As we touch on each device, we'll talk about the possibilities for the forensic investigator, and take a surprising and fun look at the nooks and crannies of many devices considered commonplace in today's society. For each device, we'll look at what can be hidden and talk about various detection and extraction techniques, avoiding at all costs the obvious "oh I knew that" path of forensics investigation. All this will of course be tempered with Johnny's usual flair, some fun (and admittedly rowdy) "where's the evidence" games, and some really cool giveaways. Johnny Long is a "clean-living" family guy who just so happens to like hacking stuff. A college dropout, Johnny overcompensates by writing books, speaking at conferences and hanging around with really smart people. Johnny is currently working on the final third of the coveted "Hacker Pirate Ninja" title, which has thus far evaded even the most erudite of academics.
