[DFSci] Announcing: 2018 Lone Wolf Scenario

[Simson Garfinkel]

This summer we are releasing two new scenarios on the digitalcorpora website.

The first, released today, is the 2018 Lone Wolf Scenario, created by GMU student Thomas Moore. The scenario consists of more than 32GB (compressed) of data that was seized from a fictional individual who was planning a mass shooting. 

Please remember: this is a fictional scenario about fictional people! 

Unlike the other scenarios on our website, this scenario also includes output of commercial forensic tools for student use. The idea is that there is nothing especially creative about running evidence through a tool, and a lot of students do not have access to state-of-the-art commercial tools, so we have run the tools for your students!

A teacher's guide is available for this scenario.

Please recall that announce-digitalcorpora at lists.digitalcorpora.org <mailto:announce-digitalcorpora at lists.digitalcorpora.org> is a low-volume, announcement-only mailing list. Please feel free to discuss these scenario materials in other forums!  (But don't discuss the solutions!)

Also, please note that this scenario was done by one of my students as his final project. It takes a lot of work to create one of these scenarios, so I am grateful to Thomas Moore for both creating the materials and providing us permission to post them.  Please contact me if you have materials that you would like to post on this website.
