Rapid forensic imaging of large disks with sifting collectors
Read about a new approach to digital forensic evidence acquisition and disk imaging called sifting collectors that images only those regions of a disk with expected forensic value.

Grier Forensics helps law enforcement, military cyber security speed analysis of captured hard disks
Cyber security experts at the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) in Washington search for advanced search technologies to reduce the time it takes law-enforcement investigators to catalog and search impounded computer hard drives.
Faster data, better law enforcement
In a sign of intensifying efforts from law enforcement to harness big data, the Justice Department’s research and development arm is funding software and other tools that make it easier to store and process data for criminal investigations.
One Reason Security Is So Hard? Really Bad Reports.
According to Jonathan Grier, an independent security consultant, the answer to the question ‘Why aren’t we getting better at stopping attacks and protecting data?’ is that we’re not doing a good job of learning from the data we have.
Black Hat
In this Black Hat briefing, Jonathan Grier (Principal, Grier Forensics), shows you the statistical patterns present on a typical filesystem, the distinct patterns induced by copying, and the mathematical technique which highlights the difference. You’ll learn how to spot otherwise invisible data theft.
How Digital Forensics Detects Insider Theft
A new digital forensic technique promises to help solve an ongoing problem involving malicious insiders: determining whether any information has actually been stolen.
Detecting data theft using stochastic forensics
Learn about a new method to investigate data exfiltration in the field. The method presents a new approach to forensics: by looking for stochastically emergent patterns, we can detect silent activities that lack artifacts.
