Forensic 4cast Chat Room
When I announced the live episode of 4cast a couple of people asked if we were going to have a chat room/IRC channel. I’m happy to say that we now have that set up. For you geeky types (which is pretty much everyone) the IRC channel can be reached by using the following settings in…
Forensic 4cast – Live
Last episode we had a first for our little podcast, we had our first female on the show. We struck a blow for chauvinism worldwide… well… maybe not, but it was good to have Cindy on the show. She was awesome and is welcome back anytime. This coming Sunday (August 15) we’re going to have…
How to do the Worst Job Possible
Occasionally we all see forensic reports that are as close to perfect as they could be.

With Football (soccer) season just around the corner I have been bombarded with requests to join many different fantasy football leagues. While I…

SANS Forensic Summit
Last week I attended the SANS Forensic Summit in Washington DC. What an experience it was. I got to meet many people for the first time including Mark McKinnon, Joe Garcia, Brian Moran, and Rob Lee (if I listed everyone people would get bored reading, sorry).
