Fell off a cliff. Swam with sharks. Dined with hitmen. Hung out with crime bosses. Bought and sold a ton of drugs. How the heck am I still here? DFIR USMC 🚓

I spent two years in litigation hell. Trial was worse.
Thirty years of courtroom experience made me cocky, but the court fixed that.
This is the first and only time I talk about this case, as this is the case that made me think of quitting DFIR.

I once beat a 20-year DFIR forensic expert in court. Not because I was better, but because I had a $1,500 certificate. → www.suspectbehindthekeyboard.com/fighting-cit...

Keep in mind, AIM Remote Agent also runs on Windows on Arm… so in addition to attaching WoA disk images & actual physical disks to AIM locally, WoA disks can be connected to AIM across a network when their hosts are booted safely with (e.g.) WinFE! #DFIR
