That's what I'm getting.
Computer forensics (sometimes computer forensic science) is a branch of digital forensic science pertaining to legal evidence found in computers and digital storage media. The goal of computer forensics is to examine digital media in a forensically sound manner with the aim of identifying, preserving, recovering, analyzing and presenting facts and opinions about the information.
Although it is most often associated with the investigation of a wide variety of computer crime, computer forensics may also be used in civil proceedings. The discipline involves similar techniques and principles to data recovery, but with additional guidelines and practices designed to create a legal audit trail.
That's what the FBI does....
Anti-computer forensics (sometimes counter forensics) is a general term for a set of techniques used as countermeasures to forensic analysis.
Anti-forensics has only recently been recognized as a legitimate field of study. Within this field of study, numerous definitions of anti-forensics abound. One of the more widely known and accepted definitions comes from Dr. Marc Rogers of Purdue University. Dr. Rogers uses a more traditional “crime scene” approach when defining anti-forensics. “Attempts to negatively affect the existence, amount and/or quality of evidence from a crime scene, or make the analysis and examination of evidence difficult or impossible to conduct.”
It is an approach to criminal hacking that can be summed up like this: Make it hard for them to find you and impossible for them to prove they found you.”
White Hat Hackers help Computer Forensic Specialists by showing how their counter-measures can obfuscate and hide data from forensic examination.
That is what JW does, and it's his specialty.

The term Hacker has taken on a bad aura. It started out being an appelation that was desirable. In the minds of many folks, Hacking is a bad thing, but the proper "bad" term is "Cracker" as in System Cracker.
A "White Hat" hacker is fine. There is even a certification for a "Certified Ethical Hacker" and the computer systems are more secure for their existance. They prove they can exploit a system, then alert the vendor so they can fix the hole. They do this without publishing the information until the vendor has a chance to fix the problem.
A Real Cracker would either keep the information to themselves, or share the exploit with their buddies to build street cred.

Not trying to be snarky, but if a neighbor did this, they sure were lucky that Brad was still at work and not out to lunch at the time.

He's misleading on that 10. address IMO. The 10. is a private address that isn't broadcast. It would be one on the Cisco company network, not the Time Warner network.

Wait for it, I'm assuming they will be coming to something that looks suspiscious...
I would imagine Jay Ward knows more about these security logs than the FBI guy. This is what he does for a living. He's only looking at security logs right now.

Why is it so hard for you to understand? This witness is NOT an expert in this area. Try this analogy, would you turn to an English major to answer and testify as such, in complicated math questions? To a jury that doesn't have any idea as to whether or not this person actually knows what they are talking about. This witness himself said 'he is not an expert in computer forensic analysis.

Does anyone else wonder if BC isn't responsible for some of the things on this CSA log????? I understand his home computer being vulnerable to others using his home network. Maybe I don't understand this CSA log.

The job and responsibility of the DA is to find the truth and equally and fairly dispense justice according to the law, their job is not to bring their egos into work or to just "win." They do not work for the victims, they work for the public at large and are responsible to the public at large. There should be no bias in the DA's office, if they are not able to rid of their bias then they should not be working for the public at large in the DAs office.

I did find it interesting that Click to Call was removed from the machine in a time period before the search warrant was executed...just sayin since they didn't want to mention the real time associated with that little zinger.

So where was BC at that time if not home??????
You are simply wrong. The witness is an expert in what he is currently testifying about. Or else he wouldn't be allowed to testify about it. He is not doing a computer forensic analysis. He's examining security logs and the court has declared him an expert in that field.
While I do think he is bordering on testifying in a forensic vain..Ward is actually very articulate and believable. He is truthful, even answered he did not know the answer to a question.
The problem is when the Prosecution crosses. He does not do well when he is not prepped properly.

Now this guy is unethical? You really need to stop attacking this guys character.
Slight correction.
The 10. network is a private class A IP address. It is not used for an Internet facing network, but it is used for internal networks. Most home systems would not use the 10. address space because it allows a very large number of connected systems and this many addresses are not needed for small internal networks. I can see that Cisco might well have used a 10. network for their internal network, but most home systems use the 192. network, which is more than adequate for their needs. This is also not an IP range that is exposed to the Internet.
My point of clarification/correction was with the use of the term "broadcast", which is a method of communicating on the network. It is the networking term for traffic which all computers on the network need to know, or if a system wants to communicate with a specific computer, but does not know the address it should connect with. It is the computer basically saying "Hey everybody, listen to me!"

Who said there is bias by the DA in this case?
Just because Kurtz said it's so, doesn't mean it's true.
