Hollywood Forensics

Geraint Williams, Infosec Trainer and Consultant, IT Governance.

The success of forensics-based dramas like CSI, Numb3rs, and NCIS has ensured there is no shortage of applicants to study forensics. Hollywood and its public are enamoured by the apparently supernatural potency of the discipline. The ludicrous feats of deduction often scored by the stars of these shows have convinced many that modern forensics is fast-paced, glamorous work. The “CSI effect” has given the public and particularly some members of juries inflated expectations of computer forensic analysis. This talk looks at Hollywood and the TV interpretation of digital forensics and gives an insight into to how it is really done.
