Sub-file Hashing Strategies for Fast Contraband Detection (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McKeown, S., Russell, G., & Leimich, P. (2018). Sub-file Hashing Strategies for Fast Contraband Detection. In 2018 International Conference on Cyber Security and Protection of Digital Services (Cyber Security). https://doi.org/10.1109/CyberSecPODS.2018.8

Traditional digital forensics processes do not scale well with the huge quantities of data present in a modern investigation, resulting in large investigative backlogs for many law enforcement agencies. Data reduction techniques are required for fast... Read More about Sub-file Hashing Strategies for Fast Contraband Detection.

Reducing the Impact of Network Bottlenecks on Remote Contraband Detection (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution

Fast Filtering of Known PNG Files Using Early File Features (2017)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
McKeown, S., Russell, G., & Leimich, P. (2017). Fast Filtering of Known PNG Files Using Early File Features. In Proceedings of the Conference on Digital Forensics, Security and Law

A common task in digital forensics investigations is to identify known contraband images. This is typically achieved by calculating a cryptographic digest, using hashing algorithms such as SHA256, for each image on a given media, comparing individual...
