We are back with a mind-boggling conversation about our experiences, and the ever-evolving face of digital forensics. We're going to share some personal anecdotes, enlighten you about the changing UNIX epoch timestamp, and even discuss how we cope with the advancing age in this fast-paced world.
In the digital world, knowledge is power. We will reveal an amazing cheat sheet from Cellebrite that will simplify your understanding of extractions and the data that they yield. We’ll also delve into the concept of tool transparency, highlighting the pros and cons that come with it. We’ll help you understand why it's crucial to be informed about known bugs in a tool, and navigate the complex process of bug reporting. We’re going to discuss why it's essential to have multiple tools in your arsenal for data validation, and how manual validation is a must when it relates to key evidence.
As we wrap up, we'll talk about the implementation of ALEAPP and iLEAPP in Paraben and its capabilities to choose artifacts to report on. To add some levity, we'll also share a humorous meme that perfectly captures the essence of the repercussions of failing to validate your digital data. So, prepare to embark on a journey that’s bound to make you rethink everything you know about data extraction and tooling analysis.
