| KEYNOTE "Devolution: Deconstructing the layers one byte at a time" The talk will focus on the benefits of a "layer approach" to digital forensics and its impact on education, training, and long-term continual learning. We will explore how a simple command line interface coupled with layer-specific tools and the age-old mantra of "Do one thing and do it well", tool design can help consolidate how we organize digital forensic analyses and conceptualize the structure of our evidence. Anyone who wants to follow along can do so with either abootable Linux distribution, a Linux VM, or even a Mac or Windows running WSL2. Access to The Sleuthkit, bulk extractor, and dd or dc3dd should be all we require. |  Barry Grundy, criminal investigator, Linux forensics and open-source DFIR expert and author of: Law Enforcement and Forensic Examiner's Introduction to Linux and coauthor of: The Hitchhiker's Guide to DFIR: Experiences From Beginners and ExpertsSpeaker Bio |

| Building Powerful Interactive Timelines Presented by WinInteractive Are you constantly challenged as to how to create effective timelines for your investigations, especially of video events.
