Finished
Good news, everyone! I’ve just completed and submitted my MSc dissertation. I’ve also invented a device which makes you read all 20,000 words of it in your head, in Professor Hubert J. Farnsworth’s voice! Well, only part of that is … Continue reading
Wii NAND Imaging with BootMii
Earlier this week Nintendo released System Menu 4.3 – the sole purpose of which seems to be disabling homebrew software. It’s a bit of a pain because until some new bugs are found, the success of any procedure I come … Continue reading

Thinking about Wii Forensics
I had my first semi-official meeting with my MSc project supervisor today. This is probably as good a place as any to keep track of these sorts of things, so here’s a summary of what I’m planning at this point. … Continue reading
COFEE & DECAF
There have been some very odd things going on in computer forensics over the last few weeks. First, Microsoft’s COFEE incident response tool leaked onto the internet. COFEE had previously only been available to law enforcement organisations, so having it … Continue reading
Malware and Child Pornography
Throughout our forensic informatics lectures we have been somberly informed that a career in digital forensics and avoiding child pornography are, to all intents and purposes, mutually exclusive. It isn’t very nice but sooner or later anyone involved in digital … Continue reading
