Issue 8 examines e-discovery methodologies, latent semantic indexing, and cloud-security weaknesses illuminated through social-engineering casework. It covers biometrics in investigative contexts, Mac-based e-discovery, and video-image forensics for child-exploitation cases. Additional features address APT behavioural profiling, Sri Lanka’s forensic landscape, file-integrity tooling, legal perspectives on e-discovery, and advanced X-Ways workflows—providing practitioners with applied, operationally relevant insights.

Issue 7 examines file-integrity monitoring post-intrusion, evolutionary techniques for forensic analysis, and large-scale corporate imaging challenges. It explores cell-site mapping, drive-cloning under media faults, and MacBook Air acquisition complexities. Additional features address commercial-spyware detection, wireless-drone evidence capture, profiling attacker behaviours, and backbone-level probes, alongside legal analysis of Locard’s Principle and laboratory insights into CelleBrite Physical Analyser V2.0.

Issue 6 explores maturing practitioner concerns around tool performance, network-centric investigations, and operational readiness. It analyses imaging-tool variability, NetFlow examination, and Wi-Fi evidence recovery, alongside emerging perspectives on combat forensics and situational awareness for security operations. Additional features address Mac OS X networking, intrusion profiling, steganography detection, backlog management, and search-and-seizure preparedness—advancing digitally enabled investigative competence across organisational environments.

Issue 5 examines the foundational competencies shaping modern digital-forensics practice, including curriculum design, law-enforcement training gaps, and the operational implications of RAM acquisition, chain-of-custody management, and ethical conduct. Articles evaluate tool validation, anti-forensics, criminal-profiling methodologies, and OS-level artefact reliability, offering practitioners a structured understanding of evidential integrity, investigative rigour, and professional development pathways across emerging forensic environments.

Issue 4 examines foundational digital-forensics challenges, from rigorous acquisition and analysis practices to the evidential implications of emerging operating-system artefacts, tool reliability, and evolving attack techniques. Articles address disciplined investigative methodology, secure evidence handling, forensic readiness, and practitioner skill development, alongside case-driven insights that foreground accuracy, repeatability, and analytical robustness across increasingly complex technical and organisational environments.
