An Analyzing of different Techniques and Tools to Recover Data from Volatile ...ijsrd.com
Computer forensics has recently gained significant popularity with many local law enforcement agencies. It is currently employed in fraud, theft, drug enforcement and almost every other enforcement activity. There are many relatively new tools available that have been developed in order to recover and dissect the information that can be gleaned from data storage area like hard-disk, pen drive, etc. it's all like a volatile memory, but because this is a relatively new and fast-growing field many forensic analysts do not know or take advantage of these assets. Memory like Volatile memory may contain many pieces of information relevant to a forensic investigation, such as passwords, cryptographic keys, and other data. Having the knowledge which type of method use and tools needed to recover that data is essential, and this capability is becoming increasingly more relevant as hard drive encryption and other security mechanisms make traditional hard disk forensics more challenging. This research will cover the theory behind volatile memory analysis, including why it is important, what kinds of data can be recovered, and the potential pitfalls of this type of analysis, as well as techniques for recovering and analyzing volatile data and currently available toolkits that have been developed for this purpose.

Conclusion
Search and Society: Reimagining Information Access for Radical FuturesBhaskar Mitra
The field of Information retrieval (IR) is currently undergoing a transformative shift, at least partly due to the emerging applications of generative AI to information access. In this talk, we will deliberate on the sociotechnical implications of generative AI for information access. We will argue that there is both a critical necessity and an exciting opportunity for the IR community to re-center our research agendas on societal needs while dismantling the artificial separation between the work on fairness, accountability, transparency, and ethics in IR and the rest of IR research. Instead of adopting a reactionary strategy of trying to mitigate potential social harms from emerging technologies, the community should aim to proactively set the research agenda for the kinds of systems we should build inspired by diverse explicitly stated sociotechnical imaginaries. The sociotechnical imaginaries that underpin the design and development of information access technologies needs to be explicitly articulated, and we need to develop theories of change in context of these diverse perspectives. Our guiding future imaginaries must be informed by other academic fields, such as democratic theory and critical theory, and should be co-developed with social science scholars, legal scholars, civil rights and social justice activists, and artists, among others.
"Impact of front-end architecture on development cost", Viktor TurskyiFwdays
I have heard many times that architecture is not important for the front-end. Also, many times I have seen how developers implement features on the front-end just following the standard rules for a framework and think that this is enough to successfully launch the project, and then the project fails. How to prevent this and what approach to choose? I have launched dozens of complex projects and during the talk we will analyze which approaches have worked for me and which have not.
Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

3. What is data recovery?
Retrieving deleted/inaccessible data from electronic
storage media (hard drives, removable media, optical
devices, etc...)
Typical causes of loss include:
Computer Virus
Data Corruption
Computer Crime
Human Error

5. Several forms of Disk Storage
Comparison of several
forms of disk storage

Institute Of Technology 5
6. How data is Stored ?
Data is stored into magnetic blocks which are in
sectors.
Every time you format HDD, new layer is
created.
With the increase of layers memory blocks are
also increased and it results to variations in data
transfer(Speed Decrease, Memory consumption
high).
Shankersinh Vaghela Bapu
Institute Of Technology 6
7. How Data Is Recovered?
At the First time Low Level Format(LLF) is
performed on the hard disk, the disk’s platters
start out empty. That’s the last time the platters
will be empty for the life of the drive.
If an LLF is done on a disk with data on it
already, the data is permanently erased.
The type of formatting that most users are
familiar with is called high-level formatting and it
is the process of setting up an empty file system.
Shankersinh Vaghela Bapu
Institute Of Technology 7
8. How Data Is Recovered?
Data stored on the hard drive is not physically
deleted during formatting.
The hard drive is re-organized and the table with
information where files are stored is reset.
As long as the file system and its settings remain
the same, none of the actual data previously
stored on the hard drive is deleted or overwritten
can subsequently be recovered.
Shankersinh Vaghela Bapu
Institute Of Technology 8
9. How Data Is Recovered?
When Data is overwritten, the magnetic domains
on the HDD are re-magnetized.
This is an irreversible process that physically
removes information previously stored in this
location.
This would require the use of a Magnetic force
microscopy (MFM) or similar technologies, to
recover overwritten data successfully.
There is no software or other technical way
known to the public that can restore overwritten
data. Shankersinh Vaghela Bapu
