I see what you did there

I had the pleasure of presenting at Security BSides in KC this morning. Shouts out to hevnsnt and bsideskc for putting on the event.

Unfortunately, my schedule didn't allow me to see all of the talks, but what I did see was valuable, though the "face time" with my peers in the field (I met hal_pomeranz and kriggins in the flesh) was probably more fun than presenting or watching any of the presentations I was able to see.

My talk was called I see what you did there, and was about time lines in forensic investigations and incident response. Some of the material in the talk comes out of SANS 508: Computer Forensic Investigations and Incident Response, a course I've had the pleasure of teaching a few times. Thank you to Rob Lee and his contributions to the field over at the SANS Digital Forensics Blog. Obviously, the six day course is able to cover this topic in much more detail than I was able to do in one hour.

BSides is awesome. Everyone should submit talks, it makes you better, even if you can't talk about an original tool or concept, many people don't know what you know and when you prepare to share it with them, you become more knowledgeable than you were when you started.
