By Fall 2016, GVSU Libraries began making a major strategic and technology shift toward the use of open source technologies versus commercial vendor solutions for digital preservation and access. In this presentation to the Mid-Michigan Digital Practitioners (MMDP) community, Matt Schultz (Metadata & Digital Curation Librarian) and Kyle Felker (Digital Initiatives Librarian) provide updates on these new directions.

Drop (Drone Open Source Parser) Your Drone: Forensic Analysis Of The Dji Phantom Iii, Devon R. Clark, Christopher S. Meffert, Ibrahim Baggili, Frank Breitinger Jan 2017

Drop (Drone Open Source Parser) Your Drone: Forensic Analysis Of The Dji Phantom Iii, Devon R. Clark, Christopher S. Meffert, Ibrahim Baggili, Frank Breitinger

Electrical & Computer Engineering and Computer Science Faculty Publications

The DJI Phantom III drone has already been used for malicious activities (to drop bombs, remote surveillance and plane watching) in 2016 and 2017. At the time of writing, DJI was the drone manufacturer with the largest market share. Our work presents the primary thorough forensic analysis of the DJI Phantom III drone, and the primary account for proprietary file structures stored by the examined drone. It also presents the forensically sound open source tool DRone Open source Parser (DROP) that parses proprietary DAT files extracted from the drone's nonvolatile internal storage. These DAT files are encrypted and encoded. The …

Moving The Digital Curation Needle @Gvsu, Matt Schultz, Kyle Felker

Matt Schultz

Grand Valley State University (GVSU) is a dynamically growing public liberal arts university located in Allendale, Michigan, United States. In 2012, GVSU Libraries became the recipient of the ACRL Excellence in Academic Libraries Award. The Libraries prides itself on innovation and taking risks to better serve its faculty and students and to improve its collections.

In step with that mission, beginning in early 2016 the Libraries began making strides to move beyond outsourcing its digital curation and to strengthen capacity and expertise for managing its own open source digital collections technologies.

This immediately involved making dramatic changes to a range …

The number of successful cyber attacks continues to increase, threatening financial and personal security worldwide. Cyber/digital forensics is undergoing a paradigm shift in which evidence is frequently massive in size, demands live acquisition, and may be insufficient to convict a criminal residing in another legal jurisdiction. This paper presents the findings of the first broad needs analysis survey in cyber forensics in nearly a decade, aimed at obtaining an updated consensus of professional attitudes in order to optimize resource allocation and to prioritize problems and possible solutions more efficiently. Results from the 99 respondents gave compelling testimony that the following …

Open Forensic Devices, Lee Tobin, Pavel Gladyshev Jan 2015

Open Forensic Devices, Lee Tobin, Pavel Gladyshev

Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law

Cybercrime has been a growing concern for the past two decades. What used to be the responsibility of specialist national police has become routine work for regional and district police. Unfortunately, funding for law enforcement agencies is not growing as fast as the amount of digital evidence. In this paper, we present a forensic platform that is tailored for cost effectiveness, extensibility, and ease of use. The software for this platform is open source and can be deployed on practically all commercially available hardware devices such as standard desktop motherboards or embedded systems such as Raspberry Pi and Gizmosphere’s Gizmo …
