Send us Fan Mail In this episode, we get into AI and digital forensics, where it can help, where it can go wrong, and how we’re using it without handing forensic conclusions over to an LLM. Instead, we look at AI as an engineering tool that can help develop an approach, generate code, and accelerate problem solving. From there, deterministic processes take over, backed by continuous integration, regression testing, and known datasets to produce repeatable results that examiners can validate a...
Send us Fan Mail AI is speeding up digital forensics, but speed without control is how good labs get burned. We dig into a safer way to work: use AI-assisted coding to generate a repeatable process, then test it against a real corpus of known extractions so results stay deterministic, verifiable, and defensible. If you’ve ever felt your LLM results “drift” from run to run, this mindset shift is the difference between a helpful assistant and a hidden liability. We also get practical wit...
Send us Fan Mail We come back from a busy conference stretch and go hands-on with new digital forensics tools that speed up real workflows across vehicle, iOS, and Android investigations. We also tour major updates to LEAPPs and LAVA, show how Batch LEAPP changes multi-extraction processing, and end with a hard question about validation that every examiner needs to take seriously.

Send us Fan Mail AI is becoming more common in digital forensics, but the biggest danger is people trusting it too much. Heather Barnhart discusses a framework that helps examiners assess when AI is appropriate, where it can assist with tasks like triage, and where it should not be used, while keeping trained human experts responsible for decisions.

Send us Fan Mail “The tool said” might be the fastest way to lose a jury. Recorded live at IACIS, we sit down with Stacy Eldridge and Becky Passmore of Parsing The Truth One Bite At A Time, two former FBI senior forensic examiners who build a true crime-ish podcast around one thing most shows ignore: the digital artifacts and the courtroom testimony that prove what happened. https://parsingthetruth.com/
