The "Bear" Essentials of Digital Forensics 🐻 1:13:55

13 days ago1:13:55

1:13:55

Send us a text The digital forensics world isn’t slowing down — and neither are we. In this episode, we celebrate Heather’s well-deserved recognition as Cellebrite’s Mentor of the Year 2025. Naturally, there were a few speech mishaps and, somehow, a bear raiding Heather’s bird feeder (yes, actual wildlife). But between the chaos, we get serious about the fast-changing landscape of digital evidence collection. We dig into Amazon’s decision to remove the "do not send voice recordings" setting from Echo devices — meaning all voice requests now head straight to the cloud for AI training. It’s part of a growing industry trend, raising huge privacy red flags. We also unpack a study showing AI search engines misattribute sources at rates over 60%, and discuss how leaning too hard on generative AI risks dulling the critical thinking that digital forensics demands. On the technical front, Christian Peter reveals that some forensic tools alter or delete unified logs during extraction — a serious concern for evidence integrity that can compromise investigations before they even begin. We also walk through a deep dive into Snapchat artifacts, showing how to connect media files to user actions and locations by following database breadcrumbs that automated tools tend to overlook. Through it all, one theme stays clear: while technology keeps racing ahead, the responsibility for getting it right stays firmly with the examiner. As one guest bluntly put it, "We might be the last generation of cognitive thinkers." Tune in for a sharp, insightful, and slightly unpredictable conversation at the intersection of bears, bytes, and the future of digital evidence.

The Iceberg of Digital Evidence: What AI Can't See 1:06:51

7 weeks ago1:06:51

1:06:51

Send us a text The boundary between tool-dependent analysis and true forensic expertise grows increasingly blurred as AI enters the digital forensics landscape. Alexis Brignoni and Heather Charpentier reunite after a month-long hiatus to sound the alarm on a concerning trend: the integration of generative AI into forensic tools without adequate safeguards for verification and validation. Drawing from Stacey Eldridge's firsthand experience, they reveal how AI outputs can be dangerously inconsistent, potentially creating false positives (or missing critical evidence) while providing no reduction in examination time if proper verification procedures are followed. This presents investigators with a troubling choice: trust AI results and save time but risk severe legal and professional consequences, or verify everything and negate the promised efficiency benefits. The hosts warn that as AI becomes ubiquitous in forensic tools, it dramatically expands the attack surface for challenging evidence in court—especially when there's no traceability of AI prompts, responses, or error rates. Beyond the AI discussion, the episode delivers practical insights for investigators, including an in-depth look at the Android gallery trash functionality. When users delete photos, these files remain in a dedicated trash directory for 30 days with their original paths and deletion timestamps fully preserved in the local DB database—a forensic goldmine for cases where suspects attempt to eliminate evidence shortly before investigators arrive. Other highlights include recent updates to the Unfurl tool for URL analysis, Parse SMS for recovering edited and unsent iOS messages, and Josh Hickman's research on Apple CarPlay forensics. Whether you're investigating distracted driving cases, analyzing group calls on iOS, or simply trying to navigate the increasingly complex digital evidence landscape, this episode offers both cautionary wisdom and practical techniques to enhance your forensic capabilities. Join the conversation as we explore what it truly means to be a digital forensic expert in an age of increasing automation. Ready to strengthen your digital investigation skills?

Send us a text Could AI in forensic analysis be more of a liability than an asset? Join us as we explore this pressing concern. We kick off this episode with an important update for those dealing with Android extractions. Recent changes to the Android OS and Google Play Store might be causing the Keystore (secrets.json) file to either miss data or not be extracted at all. This brings attention to the vital role decryption keys play in accessing data from mobile devices. Next, we dive into advancements in forensic tools like MSAB’s new RAM analyzer for XRY Pro users. For iOS investigators, if you’re working with Cache.sqlite data, you’ll want to check out iCatch, a tool designed to map the data efficiently and streamline your workflow. Shifting to the role of AI, we examine a recent legal case that highlights the dangers of relying on AI-generated results without proper verification. Accuracy and repeatability are key, and our discussion focuses on the ethical implications of using AI in forensic investigations. We emphasize the importance of thoroughly validating AI tools to maintain trust in the legal process.
