Greetings, Oh, we applied to Y Combinator, I should have made that clear. I'm just trying to evaluate our chances, and seek out other opportunities in case YC doesn't pay off.

If you literally want to get behind it, let me know ... I can throw in "hold lawyers, SaaS providers, and vendors accountable for the quality of their offerings in a court of law."

Both of my technical partners in my venture are over 40 because a) I am over 40, b) I needed to find people I knew and trusted, and c) they're very experienced and very solid. If I was still living in SV, I probably could have found a young

I'm in a similar boat, doing ediscovery/cybersecurity validation tools. Not quite YC's cup o' tea, I think. (And figuring out whose cup o' tea it is is one of my challenges.) Have you looked at any of the Federal grant programs, in particul

Greetings, That is one of the reasons I objected to the article - it uses emotionally loaded language. We're in agreement there. But continuing in that vein doesn't advance anyone's knowledge.

"Facts not in evidence." You're ascribing malice to the judicial system and making it sound like a conspiracy. There's a fact - data was destroyed. An investigation may be able to determine what that data was. Either the human who deleted t

The industry is full of buzzwords, hype, and snakeoil, alas. ECA is one example, and I'd argue that the EDRM is another. The EDRM was good a few years ago but hasn't really evolved to reflect current, and developing practices. ECA describes

Take a look at the TREC (Text REtrieval Conference) website - http://trec.nist.gov/ . The published papers are very enlightening.

I am about two hours south of Chicago and am really looking forward to this opportunity. If you have any tentative dates, the information would be most welcome.

Actually, the EDRM model is only one model, and it is rapidly falling by the wayside. For example, ECA - early case assessment - is becoming a very important part of ediscovery but you can't fit ECA into the EDRM as the EDRM is essentially

And an eSATA hard drive was often a PATA drive with an eSATA interface. However, clients don't often like you cracking the case to get at the base interface.

Study your history, in particular the effect of Eli Whitney's cotton gin. Tomatos are being genetically engineered to have a consistent size and shape, partly to enable better automated harvesting.

What is the incentive to the manufacturer to do so? There are some specialty devices, mostly for law enforcement, that are essentially WORM SD cards. Evidence, a photograph most often, is written to it but cannot be modified. These command

When collecting evidence from computers, the policy used to be "power it down, and do dead-drive forensics". Over the last few years, this has shifted to "grab RAM and only then consider powering it down." Memory contains all sorts of poten

It isn't asinine at all, at least when considered in light of the investigative process. "Data was purged" is a fact. Now, you still need to put that in context, and that context includes hundreds, if not thousands, of other facts. Only the

Enhancing the quality of automated review tools will significantly reduce the number of lawyers employed doing sweatshop style review. Just because a technology might enable more lawsuits (which I am not certain is the case here) doesn't me

It also means that the courts will need to accept that the image taken of an SSD will not match a second image. The courts, and the computer forensics community, had a hard time accepting collecting RAM but that's now a pretty standard part

One of the things the article doesn't address is how do we determine the accuracy of these tools and processes? Self-serving answer - http://integriography.wordpress.com/2011/03/04/building-virt... It is a real problem and not one we're t

I know several of the firms quoted pretty well. I don't think they sponsored it, I think they just have very good PR departments.

It is hitting the client's pain point, though. There is a huge push in the industry to lower costs, and law firms are feeling, though resisting, this push.

Greetings, There's some truth in here, and also a lot of hype. Plus ca la change, plus ca la meme chose. We've been losing digital evidence to technology ever since the first bit was written to a rotating drum. And, even more interesting, t

Very much looking to put something together. I currently have one startup effort in the ediscovery space that I am working on, but I have cycles available to explore other options, and the desire to do so.

Manual discovery is fun, 'til you have to sift through 1TB of data looking for it, and hidden TC containers, and rootkits, and and and and... Gets tedious, and inaccurate, quickly!

One question that keeps coming to mind for me - how could you take a forensically sound image of a hard drive and prepare it for processing by a wide variety of tools in a non-serial manner? We spend a lot of our time searching through hard

Anyone else doing computer forensics or ediscovery?
