Aid4Mail is great at converting mail stores into generic formats. It can rip into individual messages or mail stores. Run it with the/f option to get more emails.
The Fookes support guys are really helpful too.
Also the command line tool is great.
This is only for the conversion though, won't help with the indexing.
Using your shed analogy. It would be more like them seeing a dead body in the shed then you locking the door. They had seen a dead body before it was locked and therefore have cause to go in (in fact they wouldn't need a warrant).
This has all come about because the ability of law enforcement to brute force passwords/keys has become impractical.
Phycial security could always be bypassed, even if that meant using oxyacetylene torch to cut the front off a safe. A computer encrypted with a 2000 bit key is not the same.
I am also in the digital forensics industry and it is a scary thought when you try to work out how this will be enforced. How accurate do the drawings have to be? (eg, would a stick man with a label "14 year old naked girl" be banned?)
Do existing images still count as legal? (classical art?)
It does seem like a slippery slope despite their best intentions.
It was a similar situation when the age at which someone could appear in pornographic images changed. An example is that Sam Fox appeared topless in the Sun newspaper aged 17 (which at the time was legal) but the change in the law made posession of that newspaper paedophilia.
Remember that the quantum Cryptography bit is only there to generate the one time pad which will then be used with an algorythin to encrypt the message.
There is the potential to have secured pad generation links which you could take your keys away from and then encrypt over the recular internet.
Yup, the tool isnt really that exciting. Just produces a nice report of the system it is run on. Which is the only useful part. (yes, I have a beta) The "decryption" part is simply because you are plugging it into an already decrypted system, meaning that if the user is logged on and has their encrypted volumes open then it can view them. All of which could be imaged using FTK lite or other off the shelf utilities. Or even using the very high tech cop method of "clicking around in explorer"
Remember the person trying to get the computer might not be a thief. You are making the assumption that the owner of the computer will have a chance to pull the plug on a machine. If there is suspicion that a suspect will try and delete data most LEOs will not politely knock on your door and serve a warrant. It is surprising how fast these guys can bust in a door and clear a house, most people only have a chance to stand looking shocked let alone get to shut down their machine. From this it looks like the process could be: Dump Keys, image drive, decrypt in the lab.
On a side note, the Wiebetech Hotplug is one of the coolest forensics gadgets I have ever seen, can't work out if it is genius or insanity though.
I agree. I don't understand why people need electronic voting, in theory it is a good idea but it leaves the result far too open to criticism. Here in the UK we have slips of paper and you place a big X next to the candidate you want. Votes are counted in full view of the public and can easily be recounted in the event of a close vote or if a losing candidate requests it.
It also makes election night fun, staying up until 6am seeing the results trickle in. Of course, you would need to hire Peter Snow (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Snow) and his swingometer to get the full election night experience
Even scarier is realising that some people on here could have 35 year old parents! /me dons cardigan and slippers while looking for something to throw at those kids skateboarding on the pavement....
The logicube hand held devices do show some pretty fast imaging speeds, but they do not take into account the various device manufacturers drive controllers. In the field, often the best way to get an image is using the suspect's hardware. These also require you to image RAID arrays as separate drives and reassemble them later. IXImager http://www.ilook-forensics.org/iximager.html/ can image internally, can image arrays whole and boots from a CD (law enforecement only though). I have got 4 gig a minute out of it in the field.
No big news there. For an imaging box you don't need that high spec a machine, your source disk drives are going to be the bottleneck, not RAM or processor.
That sounds very similar to the set up we have here in the UK.
Part of DV clearance (one of our higher security clearances) is being asked about potentially embarrassing subjects. Sexual orientation, prior drug taking, pornography, sexual deviancy (yes they do ask that!).
They don't mind so much what you have done, it is whether you reveal it yourself. If they find out themselves that, for example, you smoked weed in college you won't get the clearance. But if you tell them openly it is less of an issue.
When a friend of mine was getting his clearance he was interviewed in his home, the agents asked if he ever watched pornography and he proudly pointed to the wall of hardcore porn on display in his front room. The agents laughed and carried on. And he got his clearance. Nothing to hide = less chance of blackmail.
Invasive? Yes. but if you don't want to go through it, don't apply for the job.
Well, the easiest way seems to do it using a trolley while wearing a suit and carrying a clipboard. Nothing like a bit of social engineering to get into a secure area.
So who is going to be the first person to explain how free email web sites such as yahoo, hotmail, etc and new screen names can be gotten anonymously (for the most part) and can change daily, hourly or however fast you want to fill out the forms? That is a good point, and the first thing I thought when I heard this on the radio this morning too. What it doesn't say is that they plan to make it compulsory for sex offenders to register any email addresses they use in the same way they must register street addresses and aliases. That way they can be charged with using a new email address even if they aren't caught doing sex offendery things.
The idea is ok, just terribly thought through. how can they police it? Especially as at present they don't have the regular address and alias details for a large portion of the sex offenders register. How about they start by working out where they all live!
I am all for protecting the public, but let's not go spending millions of public pounds because the Daily Mail has another hissy fit.
This experiment was shown on British TV a few weeks ago as part of a documentary about dinosaurs hosted by Bill Oddie. The crazy thing about the experiment is that they separated the very powerful thrusting motion of the velociraptor arm from the slashing motion of the claw. When they showed it in action the arm would go forward towards the target (in this case a bit of pork) very fast then stop an inch short, they then engaged the claw action which slowly pieced the flesh but did not slash it. Surely if the two actions were combined it would have had more chance of disemboweling!
Unless of course the Conspiracy theory was misread.
We always assume that the dispute is that man landed on THE MOON. Could it not also be that they faked MAN landing on the moon. Which would explain why the moon-dwellers would need a studio.
I dont really like coke, but when I order pizza they always give us a free 2L bottle. It works great for cleaning the limescale of skinks and toilets. just pour it in with the plug in, leave overnight and wrinse out. sparkly clean!
This is partially true, but there are not conductors on every train. Yes there is a facility for conductors to open a flap and drive the train manually, but I can assure you after commuting on the DLR for several years that there are not conductors on every train. I have gone weeks at a time without anyone to check my ticket! It makes me wonder why I pay all that money....
The DLR had the advantage of a complete overhaul though. I think refitting an older system could be more risky.
In London all the underground trains only have a driver, and all works pretty well. The doors open and close by themselves, other passengers will scream at you if you try to hold the doors open (not to mention that they are REALLY strong doors). The train automatically does the announcements without the need for a conductor and you can see when your next train is coming by looking at the electronic boards which show the time tot he next train and it's destination. The DLR line even has driverless trains all computer controlled, it is great fun to sit in the front of the train where the driver normally would be and look out of the windscreen.
Things dont need to be that complex though, when I lived in Brussels the Metro there just had a map of the line hanging from the celing with little LED's along the route, they showed where the trains were so you could guess how long you would have to wait.
You want oyster cards next, now they really do rock....

Would be interesting, but it can't.
It just gets the keys from ram if the running machine already has the encrypted drive mounted.
The idea being that the cops can bash the door in and get to the machine while it is up and running.
Exactly the same way that dd can by imaging \\.\PhysicalMemory
