cmdLabs, including founding partners Eoghan Casey, Christopher Daywalt, and Terrance Maguire, will operate as a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Newberry Group beginning in August 2010.

"This merger expands our ability to provide government and commercial clients with an unmatched level of consistency and quality in digital forensics and incident response services,” Casey said. “In addition, it furthers our efforts to provide an employee culture of personal fulfillment and community involvement that ultimately benefits our clients and our community as a whole."

Eoghan Casey (cmdLabs) Presents at the DoD Cyber Crime Conference

Thu, 03 Nov 2011 14:27:00 GMT

Eoghan Casey presented two advanced topics at the DoD Cyber Crime Conference. A founding partner of cmdLabs, Casey is the author of the foundational book Digital Evidence and Computer Crime, and coauthor of Malware Forensics, and is currently consulting with the DoD Cyber Crime Institute.

Casey presented “Network Traffic Analysis - Sipping from the Firehose”, a presentation that covers tools, techniques and challenges associated with investigating sophisticated network intrusions, with a focus on finding the roots of problems in large quantities of network traffic. Attendees responded positively and left better equipped to identify and analyze malicious network activities while investigating security breaches.

Casey also presented “Smart Phone Forensics” and touched upon an urgent and ever-growing need within the digital forensics industry. The presentation noted that smart phones such as iPhones, Android, Windows Mobile and webOS devices present a substantial opportunity and challenge for forensic practitioners. These devices are essentially computers that people carry in their pockets, and contain substantial amounts of information that can be useful from a forensic perspective, including communications, multimedia, and location information. New acquisition methods have become available that give forensic practitioners access to more information on these devices, including deleted data. Casey’s presentation specifically covers various methods for acquiring and analyzing data on a variety of smart phones, the types of digital evidence that can be recovered from these devices, the tools available to investigators, as well as common hurdles encountered.
