ECTEG European Cybercrime Training and Education Group

One of the most interesting location for planning Digital Forensic education is E.C.T.E.G

European Cybercrime Training and Education Group. 

It is vendor independent training and  based on cooperation with well established academic curriculum, what is sometimes missing part.

What is important here is a set of learning / specialization paths which provides a good estimate what one have to learn and understand, 

ORF lectures preparation for data colecting

Last week we finished forensic laboratories, what is a pure theory issue in our local environment. This part  also does intro into forensic tools. I've decide to extend this with some topics about comparation of forensic tools available.
My ideas was to show and compare basic features and ideas of some tools. We were talking about opensource tools and commercial tools, like sleuthkit, ftk, encase, to get some ideas how tools are designed hot it works and what to choose for what purpose.

For students it is important to that understand current versions of digital forensic tools tends to separate aqusition of evidence from analyse and reporting steps.  Also how the forensic workflow is incorporated into user interface design

DataFocus 2014

On the 8th April we will have our digital forensic conference here in Zagreb, Croatia
it is DataFocus 2014. In one day there will be two workshops, lectures and round table talks.

Topics are from our local digital forensic community, mostly ex Yugoslavia countries with some interesting lectures from the rest of the world. IACIS will be also here since digital forensic training and education is big part of our agenda. My tiny part will be last lecture on Investigation section of the conference, about the live investigation methods with EnCase v7. It is actually a compiling and recycling of the material I've used in this year EnCase Enterprise Examination training. It will be summarized and presented under title "On-line digital forensic investigations" hopefully it will have some effect on the way how tools are  used and data acquisition and collecting is done.
