The bruise which depicted the pattern of subjacent bone.

Thursday, February 26th, 2009

Authors: W.hede AG
Reported here is a very rare case in which the bruises were caused to the lower anterior region of the right thigh by the impact of the rim of a scooter's seat made up of a slightly flexible plastic sheet covered with artificial leather. The bruises depicted the pattern of the subjacent lower end of the femur and the upper pole of the patella. The bruises also displayed the following color changes: yellow color at the center and purple at the edge, with the fading beginning at the center and proceeding towards its periphery, which was found to be contradictory to the present literature about bruises.

Grosse fatigue

Wednesday, February 25th, 2009

Le dossier pédopornographique sur lequel je travaille en ce moment me laisse tous les soirs vidé de toute mon énergie. Et cela dure depuis des semaines. Je crois que je ne m'y fais pas vraiment. Tous les sourires tristes de ces petites filles malmenées par des hommes malades... Je me demande si mon travail (non rémunéré depuis un an malgré tous les rapports déposés) sert encore à quelque chose.

First case of fatal pulmonary peliosis without any other organ involvement in a young testosterone abusing male.

Monday, February 23rd, 2009

Authors: Vougiouklakis T, Mitselou A, Batistatou A, Boumba V, Charalabopoulos K
Peliosis is a rare lesion characterized by the presence of blood-filled cysts, with unknown true incidence and etiology. It has been most frequently reported to the liver (peliosis hepatis) and to other organs of the mononuclear phagocytic system, such as spleen, bone marrow and lymph nodes. However, other organs may also be affected. Its occurrence has been linked to wasting conditions such as tuberculosis, cancer, immunosuppression and the use of androgenic-anabolic steroids. Herein, we report a case of pulmonary peliosis, in a 29-year-old man who was abusing testosterone as it was proved by toxicological analysis. To our knowledge this is the third reported case of pulmonary peliosis and the first one th...

FIRST 2009 Conference

The Forum of Incident Response and Security Teams (FIRST) is going to held its annual conference from June 28 to July 3, 2009 in Kyoto, Japan. Registration is now open to the interested public.

I'm exited to announce that my half-day tutorial Windows Memory Forensics with Volatility was accepted!

From the abstract:

The analysis of main memory can provide valuable help in incident response and forensic investigations. One of the most promising tools in this field is the Volatility framework. This free and open source software provides analysts with a comprehensive set of commands to enumerate processes, drivers, network connections, and much more. To experienced users, Volatility becomes a programming framework that allows to build custom analysis modules in a little while.

This tutorial will provide the attendees with the fundamentals of memory management on the Microsoft Windows platform. Attendees will learn how to leverage Volatility to uncover malicious system activity. A mapping will be drawn between key concepts of memory management and the core modules of Volatility. Advanced users will write their first simple plug-in during the course.

The presentation aims at forensic examiners and incident responders. Participants should be familiar with the Microsoft Windows platform. No kernel programming skills are required, though some basic knowledge about Windows NT kernel architecture (kernel, threads, scheduler) will be helpful.

Non aux assuétudes

Thursday, February 19th, 2009

L'usage du terme «addiction», pourtant récent, s'est banalisé au cours des dernières années. Utilisé dans le français juridique médiéval où il désigne la contrainte par corps imposée au débiteur insolvable, puis tombé en désuétude, il est aujourd'hui employé dans l'acception qu'il a prise au début du XXe siècle dans le monde anglo-saxon.[...]Il est employé largement au-delà du domaine de la santé
