DECAF Was Just a Stunt, Now Over

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the insecure-security dept.

An anonymous reader writes to tell us of the de-activation of all copies of DECAF. The creators have announced that the DECAF project was nothing more than a "stunt to raise awareness for security and the need for better forensic tools." Originally DECAF was billed as a tool to stop Microsoft's forensic tool "COFEE" and was covered here earlier this week. In addition to their message of security the authors somehow manage to interject a discussion about religion, so who knows what the real goal was.

    Offtopic lol. GOOD MOD JOB BRO Anyway, the other thing that was great is that they originally claimed not to release the source code because they didn't want Microsoft to patch around them, or some other nonsense. Everyone in the original article who said that they wouldn't trust an anti-forensic tool that was closed source was 100% correct.
