This unit was made up primarily of Notre Dame students who were sworn in as investigators and conducted digital forensics exams on law enforcement investigations in our...
What is endpoint forensics? Endpoint forensics is the process of collecting, analyzing, and preserving digital evidence from endpoints—devices like laptops, mobile phones, internet of things (IoT) devices—connected to your organization’s network. This evidence can then be used to investigate security incidents, identify the root cause, and take steps to remediate the issue and prevent future attacks. In today’s digital landscape, cyber threats are ever evolving, making cybersecurity measures a n...
With the wide array of languages that can show up in case data—for both local and larger geographically focused investigations—determining the relevance of the available evidence can be a challenging process. To provide you with a quick understanding of multilingual evidence in your cases, a translation module is now available in Magnet Axiom and Magnet Axiom Cyber—providing immediate translation of 32 different languages and helping you quickly understand if the content you are looking at is re...

Vulnerabilities in 7-Zip and ntfs3 June 19, 2024June 19, 2024 ~ msuhanov As I demonstrated before, the same malformed file system structures can cause overflows/over-reads in independently developed software. Here is a recent example: a buffer overflow vulnerability found in 7-Zip — CVE-2023-52168. This vulnerability is similar to one previously discovered by me in the ntfsck tool (from the NTFS-3G driver) — CVE-2021-46790. And even more: a buffer over-read vulnerability in 7-Zip — CVE-2023-5216...
