Those #forensic #digital #records are important for record-keeping requirements & allow for troubleshooting, but they also allow experts to investigate potential breaches, sometimes even tracing the attacker's path back to the vulnerability that let them inside a network. The records can also help experts see what #data might have been removed. Basic logs would likely not be enough to demonstrate the extent of a bad actor's activities, but it would be a start.
A 220-year-old mystery surrounding the remains of infamous German outlaw Johannes Bückler, known as #Schinderhannes, has at last been solved. An international research team used cutting-edge #forensic techniques to confirm that a skeleton long thought to be that of another criminal, “Schwarzer Jonas” (Black Jonas), is in fact Schinderhannes. The true destiny of Schwarzer Jonas’ remains remains a secret.

Our #image #analysis #pipeline is ready to go into #pruduction.
It combines #AI and #forensic techniques to assess authenticity. It first extracts EXIF/XMP #metadata to detect real camera data forcing a “photograph” classification if present. Then, a CLIP based preprocessor (#computervision) classifies images into categories: photograph, meme, infographic, comic/cartoons, or text only.
Custom configurations (#development) adjust weights so that, for example, memes/text only images discount AI model influence while forensic tests (ELA, FFT, noise, edge sharpness, text detection) (#science, #math) quantify artifacts. #C2PA data is also considered. All evidence is combined to yield a final decision which will be the “confidence percentage” data that will be included in every post moving forward.

Super happy to see the open source sysdiagnose joining the hackathon.lu held in Luxembourg on April 8th and 9th, 2025.
sysdiagnose is an open-source framework developed to facilitate the analysis of the Apple sysdiagnose files and especially the one generated on mobile devices (iOS / iPadOS). In the light of targeted attacks against journalists, activist, representatives from the civil society and politicians, it empowered incident response team to review device behaviour and ensure their integrity. This tool is initially the result of a joint effort between EC DIGIT CSOC (European Commission DG DIGIT) and CERT-EU (https://cert.europa.eu/).

#Forensic Methodology Report: How to catch #NSO Group’s #Pegasus - #AmnestyInternational

Amnesty International · Forensic Methodology Report: How to catch NSO Group’s PegasusNSO Group claims that its Pegasus spyware is only used to “investigate terrorism and crime” and “leaves no traces whatsoever”. This Forensic Methodology Report shows that neither of these statements are true. This report accompanies the release of the Pegasus Project, a collaborative investigation that involves more than 80 journalists from 17 media organizations in 10 countries coordinated by Forbidden Stories with technical support of Amnesty International’s Security Lab. Amnesty International’s Security Lab has performed in-depth forensic analysis of numerous mobile devices from human rights defenders (HRDs) and journalists around the world. This research has uncovered widespread, persistent and ongoing unlawful surveillance and human rights abuses perpetrated using NSO Group’s Pegasus spyware.

The term “#forensic #linguistics” was likely coined in the 1960s by Jan Svartvik,
a Swedish linguist who re-examined the controversial case of Timothy John Evans,
a Welshman who was wrongfully accused of murdering his wife and daughter and was convicted and hanged in 1950.
Svartvik found that it was unlikely that Evans, who was illiterate, had written the most damning parts of his confession,
which had been transcribed by police and likely tampered with.
The real murderer was the Evans’ downstairs neighbor, who turned out to be a serial killer.
A forensic linguist has much in common with Sherlock Homes in “A Scandal in Bohemia.”:
“The man who wrote the note is a German. Do you note the peculiar construction of the sentence?” the detective asks in the 1891 short story. “A Frenchman or a Russian could not have written that. It is the German who is so uncourteous to his verbs.”

404 Media · Police Freak Out at iPhones Mysteriously Rebooting Themselves, Locking Cops OutLaw enforcement believe the activity, which makes it harder to then unlock the phones, may be due to a potential update in iOS 18 which tells nearby iPhones to reboot if they have not been in contact with a cellular network for some time, according to a document obtained by 404 Media.

@TheConversationUS I'm curious about which ancient figures have ample #forensic #HardScience evidence (no 'Shroud of Turin', for instance) supporting their existence, never mind their accomplishments which are expected to be greatly exaggerated or outright lies given that "#History is written by the victors."
