Computer Forensic Reference Data Sets for Digital Evidence

The National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST)’s Rick Ayers introduces the updated Computer Forensic Reference Data Sets (CFReDS v2.5) project, a centralized portal to documented digital forensic datasets that assists in practitioner training, tool testing, and developing an understanding of a tool’s capabilities and limitations. The portal benefits the forensic community by offering a quick and easy way to find and share datasets of interest.
