Changes to Forensic 4cast

Greetings,

I have decided that Forensic 4cast, as a whole, could do with a bit of a makeover.  As a result the new Forensic 4cast website will be launched on January 1st 2009.

The new improved website will still have the podcast that you know and love but there will be some changes.  I have decided that, rather than just have a standard site that revolves around the podcast, the podcast will be a supplement to the site. This way breaking news stories are not hampered by time zone differences and faulty hardware.

The new site is going to be more of a digital forensic magazine offering articles, white-papers, news, interviews, and so on.

Having said that we need volunteers.  I don’t mind writing lots of articles, but I think it would be better to have a varied group of people to write articles.  I’m not after any long-term commitment, if you feel like you have something to contribute let me know.

Episode 11 – Boondoggle

Just got my replacement power supply after a week of waiting, thanks for nothing Steve Jobs!

Actually, the name of this episode may apply in more ways than one.

Thanks to Mark McKinnon of Red Wolf Computer Forensics for joining me this week.  Simon picked a hell of a week to go away with the whole AccessData / Guidance affair.  Having said that, maybe we should send him away more often if news like this appears.

New Episode Coming Soon

Greetings all. We’ve recorded a new episode about AccessData’s proposed acquisition. I hope to have this episode up on Monday as soon as my Mac has been repaired (again).

***EDIT***

Should have my new power supply either tomorrow or Thursday so it’ll be up by Thursday night at the latest. Sorry for the delay. I’m thinking of going back to a Sony Vaio.

Looking for Guests

There has been some significant news in the last few hours.  AccessData have launched a bid for Guidance Software.  I’m after a number of people that know about the two companies, the stock market in general, or who may have any additional insight on the matter.  I plan on doing an episode later today (around 7:30pm GMT).  Please respond via the comments or email me at lee@forensic4cast.com if you are interested.
