Cyber Sleuth

Posted by: Aaron Brazell

The vast majority of today has involved confiscating a users computer and rummaging through it for evidence? Why, you say? Recently, our group was tasked with ensuring enough hard drive space for an upcoming Office 2003 SMS push. This users computer was reported by SMS as not having enough space. Upon investigation, it was discovered that his hard drive was loaded with paper trails to questionable sites. So today, we confiscated his computer, claiming possible virus infection, and have since been rummaging through looking for evidence of a) possible child porn and b) possible terrorist related data. I don’t know that I intend to find either, but at the very least, this guy has interesting browsing habits.

    Any google fodder you can come up with is helpful. I am running Easy Recovery overnight (it’ll take 6 hours according to the estimates). I’m taking this up again in the morning.

    Twitter Pitch!

    <p>Twitter pitching is a form of pitch that requires succint "what does this mean for me" kind of pitching. It is the ultimate efficiency of words. You have 140 characters or less to tell me why your pitch matters to me or my readers. Please include a means of contacting you. This is included in your 140 characters. If you send successive pitches, you will likely be ignored, unless it's obvious that the first pitch was a case of "accidental send", etc.</p> <p>This form of pitching does not mean I'm being a diva. It means that my time is valuable, and you want a piece of it. It's good practice for you, and delivers your pitch in a format I want. Win-win.</p>
