What folks were doing at the time, were using UDP flooding to flood IP addresses of folks that were playing in the video game in order for them to level up. And our internet kept going out and I’m like, “What’s going on here?” And so some intellectual curiosity, and at the time Ask Jeeves, I think, was around back then, and I did some Ask Jeeving, and figured out what was happening I was experiencing a distributed denial-of-service attack. And what had happened early on in the days of online gaming is, I figured out that while I was playing with my friends, that something nefarious was happening and it wasn’t our internet connectivity at the time.Īnd I’m like, “Hey, you know, everyone, the bill’s paid and everything’s working.” But I kept being kicked out of games and logged off. And so that’s what I did growing up, I did some other winter activities, but for the most part, I’m a spring chicken, if you will.Īnd so with that, during the winter months growing up, if I wasn’t at my local football game or doing some things, I’d be playing video games. And so in the winter I spent time inside, and in the spring I played baseball. Growing up I played sports, and in the winter I didn’t play winter sports. My journey into cyber security, digital forensics, and IT really started when I was a young boy. Stephen: Yeah, Christa, great great question, and very fitting right now as it is winter time. How did you first come to digital forensics and how did you decide that this was what you wanted to do? Congratulations by the way, on your newly-minted PhD. You’ve worked in a broad range of roles and sectors from the FBI to the private sector to academia. I’m your podcast host, Christa Miller, and welcome, Stephen.Ĭhrista: So before we jump into talking about the suite itself, I wanted to start with a little bit about you. Steven Boyce, Director of the Magnet Digital Investigation Suite, which offers automated evidence processing, collaborative evidence review for non-technical investigators and centralized case data management. This week, the Forensic Focus podcast looks at the “help” part of that equation. Growing in volume and complexity, technology thus ends up both hindering and helping digital investigators’ efforts to apprehend criminals in both virtual and physical domains. Christa Miller: As digital technology becomes more embedded into humans’ everyday lives, enhancing our efficiency at work, our social lives, even our health and movements, it likewise facilitates criminal activity.
