The Research Resource

Hi Forensic Friends! As I promised we're putting together a resource page for all the cool kids who want to do some Digital Forensic Artifact Research. This is a collaborative page so if something is missing, incorrect, changed, etc let us know! If you want to contribute, reach out and join the fun!

Literature Review

Home - DFRWS

DFRWS is the premiere research conference for digital forensics. We host conferences with peer reviewed papers in USA, EU, and APAC.

DFRWS

The Journal of Forensic Science is the big name in peer reviewed forensic papers. The abstracts are available and searchable on the site so you can check and see if anyone has published about your topic before.

DFIR Review is the only group peer reviewing blog posts. They take submissions from the community and also have some great resources.

Google Scholar, it's like Google for science!

Researching and Testing

The Scientific Working Group on Digital Evidence | Digital Forensics

The Scientific Working Group on Digital Evidence (SWGDE) brings together organizations actively engaged in the field of digital and multimedia evidence to foster communication and cooperation as well as to ensure quality and consistency within the digital forensic community.

NIST Guidelines for Dataset Development is a great guide to building robust public datasets.

Forensic Friend Finder: Coming soon?

Peer Review and Publishing

I know it's scary, but you should get credit for the hard work you put into your research.

For smaller short form blog posts, DFIR Review is the answer.

For the cool kids submitting to journals: Journal of Forensic Science

Posts, Presentations, Podcasts, Etc

As we come across useful articles or other information about research we'll throw them in here.
