Field Project Investigations

Conducting a technology review/audit prior to commencing field projects is an important task in order to understand the 'technology estate' owned and/or operated by an organisation. It is for revelation purposes and to comprehend [legacy] technology as stand-alone or interconnected/intra-connected with [current] technology and significantly if or how legacy has been ported-over to operate via applications/software to work with current. So more information has been posted. This is for the purposes as mentioned previously dealing with cases requiring 'field project investigations' (from installs to troubleshooting). I am sharing these .pdfs because I found forensics became one of the tools to be applied during investigations and not the main tool. Knowing the background details (tech spec, set-up, logs files, install procedures, etc.) assists understand "why an artefact was there".

Universal Network Investigations

Just started a new LinkedIn group called 'Universal Network Investigations (UNI)'. It is a group only for those involved in the wider area of fixed, mobile and large-scale computer networks. The group exists to assist cyber, forensics and fault-finding investigations: to exchange observations and sharing 'intel' in a closed forum discussing fixed and mobile network investigations - trace data and other forms of evidence (including but not limited to PCAP, CDRs, traffic logs, exchange and switch data, cell details, dumps, etc.) If you are a member of LinkedIn and want to participate in the group here is the link: https://www.linkedin.com/groups/13536130
