The Foundations and Practice of Digital Forensic Seminar, organised within the DFET project, took place in Ljubljana on Thursday 22. January 2015. Speakers gave an excellent, tought-provoking and educational presentations by the audience of more then 20 people, representing law enforcement and academics and students from several universities.

The purpose of the seminar was to present participants the foundations of digital forensics and to acquaint them with practical concrete examples. The seminar was intended to anyone who is interested in digital forensics and wants to master both methodological, technical and legislation basics that are necessary for operating in this field, as well as criminal technics, forensics tools and solving practical examples. This kind of seminar is useful for participants who are dealing with various cyber crime methods in their everyday work-field, or otherwise dealt with this kind of topic.

The seminar opened with Borka Jerman Blazic’s keynote introduction to the seminar, followed by four presentations. The first session focussed on Cybercrime education with presentation of Blaž Ivanc. After the break the second session started with Security methods and cyber crime prevention, presented by Tomaž Klobučar. Followed by Digital forensics: methods and legislation presentation by Janko Šavnik. The first session after lunch focussed on the forensic presentations. Janko Šavnik spoke about Digital forensics tools in practice, then Primož Cigoj outlined the EDUFORS cloud-based platform and gave instructions for the use of forensic tools.

Throughout the seminar, speakers took questions from the audience and interesting discussions took place. At the end of seminar there was practical exercises on a cloud platform, where audiance was able to verify their gained experiences during the seminar.

The World Wide Web was in the beginning conceived as a neutral platform for cyber-user community – which at that time were mostly academics users, where code of web pages was still open and accessible to all users. The services and information, which could be still digitally reproduced, were equally available and this was completely free. Apparently things haven’t much changed, but the appearance can be deceive.

We talked to dr. prof. Borka Jerman Blažič about the values of the internet and its current situation.
