Your best friends are a rare treasure.
Those are the people whom you most enjoy hanging out with.
The kind of people you miss the most.

And it gets even better if you both share the same professional interest (like IT and Security )

Sometimes you find out there was a great friend you should have
known, when it is too late.

And that’s what happened to me, when I heard about Matthew Shoemaker.

Matthew was one of the founders of a top notch Professional yet fun Podcast.

You must sign up to it, if you care just a bit about IT Security – it’s called InfoSec daily.

Each day you get great news, insights and top professional guests and some fun as well.

It is a treasure: http://www.isdpodcast.com/

And Matthew started it all with his friend, Rick Hayes.

Unfortunately, Matthew is not with us anymore.

You can read more about it here:
http://www.isdpodcast.com/goodbye-farewell-god-bless-2

If you look at the intro of many of the posdcast episodes, you’ll see
Matthew say:

“…This podcast is our Contribution Back to the community where we will discuss the vulnerabilities of interest, information security related news hopefully providing you a few laughs and a little knowledge….”

Now, as said, if you are interested in Security just a bit, do take the time and listen to at least one of the episodes.

And if you really liked it, and

You Feel Like Giving Back,

you can send your donation via bank transfer or paypal.

All the details are here:

and this is the donation for Matthew’s family via paypal: isdpodcast@gmail.com

God bless you and your dear ones, and have a great week!

It is always about some geek wearing old style clothes,

3-days beard, glazing eyes, lots of half eaten pizza remains around, empty

cans of beer scattered around and a refrigerator that looks like the dump bucket.

And then a beautiful young lady knocks on the door, asking for help

in her X-files type of investigation.

Our geek hero always knows how to get the critical data of the disks, camera

phone, printer, remote server, whatever.

Our hero knows how to break in, decrypt, analyze, summarize, save the girl

in the last moment from a crashing car, and drink some more beer.

Computer Crime resolved. End of Forensic Case.

But those days information is much more in a new set of locations…

Facebook, linkedin, twitter, web hosting sites, wordpress.com and

a bunch of other social media sites and services.

Well, our Hero says as he swallows another pizza, it is all out there!

All the information is there…anyone can look into web2.0 data…that’s

the whole thing about Web2.0.

Well…not sure about easy…that is why;

• People can have many identities
• Each Web 2.0 has a separate privacy policy
• Each Web2.0 service maintains or backups data differently
• It is easier to frame somebody innocent using Web2.0
• Web 2.0 data changes, moves and morphs all the time
• Web 2.0 data takes too much space to handle
• There are traffic limitations in trying to extract data
• Web 2.0 services are not stable in some cases
• You are messing not only with the service provider…you could be messing with the community

And on top of all that .. imagine how a public persona Computer Crime investigation over

web2.0 properties would look like to the Web2.0 community and providers…they

might see it as a major risk to their own well being and existence…

Nevertheless, Web 2.0 Computer Forensics use against Computer Crime is a field

all of us should look into more carefully.
