Searching and GREP Webinar with Guidance Software

July 23, 2014

Guidance Software will be hosting the second webinar for the book--this one is looking at Searching and GREP.  GREP is an underutilized tool that is very powerful to conduct highly granular searches.  However, it is cryptic and can be somewhat intimidating.  I will walk you through learning GREP by showing you sample expressions that become more complex, while showing you how small changes affect the search results.  As before, this webinar will be hosted on Guidance Software's website after the event.  Files mentioned in the webinar can be downloaded from the Book Files section of this website.

Panel:  So You Want to Write a Forensics Book

Abstract       

If you have ever entertained the idea of writing a forensics book, here is your chance to talk with some of the published authors who have already done it.  Find out how they were able to get their book deals, what the process of writing was like for each of them, how they assembled their writing team and what they learned from it all.  The authors will share practical tips from their experience with the process and the publishing houses.                                                 

Panelists

  • Suzanne Widup (moderator), Author of Computer Forensics and Digital Investigation with EnCase Forensic, McGraw-Hill
  • David Cowen, Author of Hacking Exposed: Computer Forensics, Anti Hacker Toolkit 3rd Edition and The Computer Forensics Infosec Pro Guide, McGraw-Hill

The panel will be held on June 9th at 11:30 a.m. 

Harlan wrote in his blog about the panel and his thoughts about the topic of being an author.  The initial post can be found here, and a followup that addresses questions posed by his twitter followers can be found here.  They provide a nice preview into what the panel will be like.
