Hello Reader,
It's 2014 and the world still hasn't ended, which means we have more time for DFIR work and research in our lives before 2027. I need a little time to get a good MTP sample set together so I thought I would take today to look back at 2013 and what I'm looking forward to in 2014.
What do you hope to do in 2014?
What can we do to help you in your goal?
Let me know in the comments and have a great and prosperous new year.
