Security Ripcord

The success of Into The Boxes Issue 0×0 was only possible because of the collaboration provided by members of the Digital Forensics and Incident Response community.  In order for this publication to continue we need more people to step up and provide their input.  As you can see from the first issue we are looking for input that can be implemented by people in the DF/IR fields.  This input can be in the form of detailed articles or quick tips.  All input will be given serious consideration.  The ITB editors will provide authors with recommendations to strengthen their write-ups to ensure the best value to the community and help the authors develop as DF/IR professionals and writers.

Please help ITB by providing your submissions or letting us know about your intent to submit via the ITB Call Box.  We are also looking for article recommendations which we will place in the ITB Research Box so that others have good ideas as to what will help the DF/IR Community.  Obviously, if you would like to contribute but do not know what to write about, check out the ITB Research Box for recommendations.

Go forth and do good things,

I have been a little busy of late.  Work, family, and a few side projects have taken up a lot of my time.  Good news, however, I am ready to make one of those side projects public.  That project is an e-magazine for digital forensics and incident response called Into The Boxes.

I don’t want to say too much about Into The Boxes here as everything that needs to be said is already on the sight.  Harlan Carvey, my partner in this project, has already created a post to welcome you all to the e-magazine.  We are hoping that you will find time to contribute to the first edition that will be released in the first week of January 2010.  This project is only going to be as successful as the people who are willing to share their knowledge and experiences.  Harlan and I will contribute as much as possible but we are hoping that the security community steps up to the plate, puts the word out, and starts providing technical and managerial input that security professionals working in the digital forensics and incident response field can implement.

I hope that you will visit the Into The Boxes website.  I also hope that you will help us make this a great resource for the security community.

Go forth and do good things,

Don C. Weber
