There are clear functional differences between the #IncidentResponse and #DigitalForensics fields in #DFIR as well as cultural differences Here is a great article by DFIR Training (Brett Shavers) on those key role differences: 🔗 https://buff.ly/3TKRwyl

A well-defined #CrimeAnalysis Program is of paramount importance. Highlighting specific goals, focusing on targeted crime types, aligning output with agency mission, and introducing precise calculations for resource allocations are factors too important to overlook. https://lnkd.in/e-2rHQpu

💭 #DFIR Thoughts More of a DFIR suggestion: If you are in #DigitalForensics marketing don't tell me your tool is the only one I need. We both know that is not the case. Lead with capabilities. Let us know what is good about it and how it will enhance our work. 👍 #MobileForensics #ForensicComputing #OpinionsDoNotReflectEmployeer #JustSuggesting

Recommendations for next Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director: (1) Re-establish the U.S. Constitution as its cornerstone.  (2) Re-establish the #FBI Core Values and Standards.  (3) Reduce FBI Headquarters senior executive positions by 50%.  (4) Reduce involvement in FBI Agents Association (FBIAA).  (5) Transparency... Transparency... Transparency. PERSONAL "FOOT-STOMP": "The number one priority and literally the one thing all FBI Agents swear an oath to do is defend the U.S. Constitutional liberties of [American] citizens. The FBI has stepped well outside its oath with the targeting of parents at school boards, coercing and directing financial institutions to violate bank secrecy laws, and surreptitiously monitoring citizens exercising their rights without predication or due process." "The FBI’s mission should begin with the U.S. Constitution as its foundation. Agents must demonstrate an understanding of the U.S. Constitution and how their actions support or may infringe on liberties." SOURCE: "Day One Agenda for the New FBI Director", Christopher W Hinkle (FBI SSA Retired), 19 DEC 2024, The Havok Journal, https://lnkd.in/d9j9PgBh U.S. Department of Justice

#DFIR Tip of the Day: Utilizing KAPE Kroll Artifact Parser and Extractor (KAPE) is a powerful tool for rapid forensic data collection and analysis. 1. Targeted Data Collection: - Definition: KAPE uses Targets to specify exactly what data to collect, minimizing the time and storage needed. - Usage: Select predefined or custom Targets to gather specific artifacts like event logs, registry hives, and browser history. You can also write custom commands. 2. Efficient Parsing: - Definition: KAPE can also use Modules to parse collected data automatically. - Usage: Apply Modules to transform raw data into meaningful output, such as CSV or JSON files, for quick analysis and even run it through other tools. 3. Speed and Flexibility: - Definition: KAPE's design allows for rapid deployment and execution, making it ideal for both live response and static analysis. - Usage: Execute KAPE from a USB drive or over a network to swiftly collect and process data from multiple end points.

We map the actors, methods, and impact associated with each campaign. We also independently evaluate the credibility, bias, evidence, transparency of the underlying claim.

"The Traffic Light Protocol (TLP) was created in order to facilitate greater sharing of information. TLP is a set of designations used to ensure that sensitive information is shared with the appropriate audience. It employs four colors [RED, AMBER(+STRICT), GREEN, CLEAR] to indicate expected sharing boundaries to be applied by the recipient(s). TLP only has four colors; any designations not listed in this standard are not considered valid by FIRST. TLP provides a simple and intuitive schema for indicating when and how sensitive information can be shared, facilitating more frequent and effective collaboration. (...) TLP is optimized for ease of adoption, human readability and person-to-person sharing; it may be used in automated sharing exchanges but is not optimized for that use."

Good news for America from the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI)’s latest Uniform Crime Report. “The FBI’s crime statistics estimates, based on reported data for 2023, show that national violent crime decreased an estimated 3.0% in 2023 compared to 2022 estimates: “Murder and non-negligent manslaughter recorded a 2023 estimated nationwide decrease of 11.6% compared to the previous year. “In 2023, the estimated number of offenses in the revised rape category saw an estimated 9.4% decrease. “Aggravated assault figures decreased an estimated 2.8% in 2023. “Robbery showed an estimated decrease of 0.3% nationally.” #FBI #crimedata #lawenforcement #violentcrime #publicsafety #publicpolicy
