Daily Blog #224: Sunday Funday 2/2/14 - Forensics Facts Challenge

Forensics Facts Challenge by David Cowen HECF Blog


Hello Reader,
            If you watched the forensic lunch this week you heard Ian Duffy talking about his work looking into the structures of Microsoft Office documents. There are many times in my career where an investigation can become centered on now only when a document was accessed but; what was done with it, what computer did it come from, who edited it, etc... This week let's see how many different sources of forensic facts you can determine from Microsoft Office documents.

The Prize:

A $200 Amazon Gift Card

The Rules:
  1. You must post your answer before Monday 2/3/14 2AM CST (GMT -5)
  2. The most complete answer wins
  3. You are allowed to edit your answer after posting
  4. If two answers are too similar for one to win, the one with the earlier posting time wins
  5. Be specific and be thoughtful 
  6. Anonymous entries are allowed, please email them to dcowen@g-cpartners.com
  7. In order for an anonymous winner to receive a prize they must give their name to me, but i will not release it in a blog post
