Alex Eckelberry, CEO of Sunbelt Software, released
a technical
review he and various other forensic experts wrote with regards to
the Julie Amero case. I've read the report, and it blew my mind how many
potential mistakes were made both during the original forensic
investigation, and the incorrect statements that were made during
testimony, but above all the ignorance and incompetence of the so called
'experts' in this case. I must admit, I don't have much field
experience with digital forensics myself, but I couldn't believe some of
the things I read. For example, 'forensic' images were made with Ghost,
and a statement was made that adware or spyware is unable to generate
pornographic popups. Oh and my favorite: a 'red' link indicates that
someone intentionally viewed a site. I think I need to go back to
school...
