Issue 16 surveys practitioner challenges across geo-location analysis, legacy Google Desktop artefacts, and emerging steganography channels in social networks. It evaluates reputation-driven network defence, examines evidential opportunities in iPhone backup files, and traces malware’s evolution to modern sabotage operations. The issue also highlights VM-introspection advances, DFCA capability development, and evolving EU cybercrime policy shaping investigative practice.

Issue 15 analyses key practitioner challenges across memory forensics, Google Desktop artefact recovery, software-tool robustness, and emerging certification pathways. It examines fuzzing risks, evolving forensic-timeline techniques, remote data-collection demands, and registry-reconstruction advances. Additional features address steganography triage, web-evidence acquisition, and large-scale dataset processing—situating technical practices within broader legal developments, including Thailand’s computer-crime framework.

Issue 14 analyses investigative advances spanning mobile-device linkage in organised crime, GPU-accelerated computation, and fuzzing risks in rich HTML environments. It addresses BlackBerry artefact recovery, Apple-ecosystem evidential extraction, and scalable DFIR lab design. The issue further examines remote data-collection workflows, mobile-malware threat models, and India’s evolving cybercrime landscape, alongside legal considerations around fraud.

Issue 13 examines weaknesses in MS-CHAPv2 VPN authentication, fraud-detection heuristics, and operational insights from cloud-based honeypots. It evaluates CSIRT first-responder standards, virtualised lab architectures, and advances in SOC monitoring analytics. Features include disk-scanning optimisation, certificate-authority risk, and covert-channel techniques, alongside legal analysis of intellectual-property frameworks and laboratory review of emerging eDiscovery platforms.

Issue 12 addresses first-responder responsibilities, reverse-engineering of Perl2Exe binaries, and forensic risks associated with mobile-device use in public spaces. It examines ethical-hacking practice, Mac forensics tooling, and social-network evidence extraction. Additional features explore covert-channel techniques, scalable video identification, and SMS-2FA bypass methods, alongside legal analysis of the Megaupload case and laboratory insights into UFED Touch workflows.
