All those who thought the GrayHat Forensics blog (or myself) died, rejoice!
No, the blog isn’t dead, it was just resting for a period of time (admittedly a long one) while I was trying to put some semblance of an order to a rapidly-galloping-uncontrollably-away PhD.
So, after about a year of working frantically at various issues, solving (or attempting to solve) problems that should not have existed had I yelled when I needed to yell, changing supervisors and departments in exactly the middle of my PhD, gathering data that needed gathering (My most sincere thanks to Zapotek of segfault.gr for his assistance in this!), teaching a lovely and amazingly smart and perceptive bunch of 3rd & 2nd year BSc Digital Forensics students, getting taught the Forensic Way by some amazing Forensic Science lecturers, and making drastic changes to my PhD’s structure, content, design and implementation details, I’m finally where I should be!
So, with a PhD software prototype FINALLY written and evaluated, proceeding to the actual implementation of my PhD’s full software (more on that later, both here and in publications to be written), I now am starting to once again have the time and the disposition to concentrate on my pet projects, such as keeping this blog moving forward.
Stories and comments on stories exist and are in the process of being thought through and further investigated, so keep checking back, cause they’ll start cropping up over the next few days (worst case scenario: 1-2 weeks) once more!
Until then, stay safe out there and keep digitally forensicating!!

Just prior to hitting the pillows, a traceback arrived for my inspection from the PHP++ blog.
Fish (the author of the said blog) reports that the GST stroke again, this time defacing a “I don’t know where the hell they found that”-type website, as reported in the following blog post and left a message in both [...]

Just a couple of thoughts, as I’m resting after a long long time working on my ongoing PhD and the new CSI module I’m taking…
The “Get Safe Online” (http://www.getsafeonline.com) week-long campaign by the British government began this week…
The page (and campaign) itself supposedly deals with some rather interesting questions by providing rather simplified (but ones [...]

After a couple of insane weeks filled with a Progression Report to be delivered, loads of lecturing work and a nice bout of flu that has me sitting somewhat sleepless on the keyboard this lovely Friday morning, GrayHat Forensics is back.
Today’s topic? Uberdatabases: State/Country-wide government databases storing phonecall-related information (and conversations), texts, e-mail, IM messages, [...]

It may surprise the audience how someone who’s forehead-deep in writing their research report under a tight deadline can find the time to keep an ear out on the whispers of the underground community, but interesting things do come out of there.
Note: I may be a Digital Forensic researcher, but I am ALSO a Network [...]

Preamble: In case any of you were wondering about the lack of further postings for some time now…No, I did not cancel the blog. I was merely on a 3-week holiday in Greece, after a rough couple of weeks of PhD-related work.
So, summer holidays: Sun, Sea, other-things-beginning-with-the-S-letter and some interesting bits of news from Greece.
For [...]

Some of those of you who know me would know I’d submitted a presentation to the British Society of Criminology 2008 conference. Those of you who don’t know it, well now you do. In truth, I actually went to both the BSC2008 and the PhD conference scheduled for the day preceding the start of the [...]

It began with a PhD research student teaching a module on Computer Forensics. Studying Casey under the light of a train from Sunderland to Newcastle and back, remembering the ways of the security community, preparing to teach a class of undergraduates for the first time. A Network Security PhD research student teaching Digital Forensics.
It continued [...]
