The end of Oxygen Forensics? The arrest of Lee Reiber? This wasn't on my bingo card this week.

A good post by Brett. AI is changing DFIR. Be careful with what you make. Test it, validate it and clearly understand what it does.

AI can generate 20,000 lines of code faster than you can misunderstand the first 200. https://t.co/gopMAarG4K

I went through 400 #DFIR books spanning 46 years. I think DFIR has drifted away from investigating human behavior and acts and toward artifacts and computer events. That bothers me. Here’s what I found. 🧵

@brettshavers Wow, Rosenblatt's book is still on my shelf too. It was a significant book when it came out.

@mpoilerfx Thanks for sharing this video. Common sense in computing, what a novel concept.

The NSA kept 1 lecture in a vault for 40 years. In 2024 they released it. It's Grace Hopper explaining the future of computing in 1982.

The channel that posted it: the National Security Agency's own YouTube.

Hopper stands at a podium in Navy uniform, a captain, and talks to a room of NSA staff for 90 minutes across 2 reels.

The title: "Future Possibilities: Data, Hardware, Software, and People."

She compares the computer industry to the early automotive one, all custom parts and no standards, and argues software will become the hard problem, not hardware. She was right by decades.

She invented the first compiler and gave COBOL its shape. She kept a clock that ran backwards on her wall to prove rules can be questioned.

The tapes were too degraded for normal release, so the agency restored them before posting.

40 years in an NSA archive. 90 minutes. Now free.

This is a crazy amount of data stolen and an even crazier amount of ransom.

@DarkWebInformer I haven't seen anyone taking credit for the attack.

[Todd G. Shipley @WebCase]

This is so true.

Somewhere out there an open directory full of juicy data is just waiting… The question is: will a black hat stumble on it first, or will a white hat trip over it while looking for cat pictures? 😈

Seizing the private key doesn't mean you totally own it. If there is a backup copy rebuilding the site can occur.

BreachForums has possibly returned at their original Onion address with what looks like it's original data.

I verified the Canary with the PGP and it is valid.
