  Strange Computer Languages: A Hacker’s Field Guide Why do we build radios or clocks when you can buy them? Why do we make LEDs blink for no apparent purpose? Why do we try to squeeze one extra frame out of our video cards? We don’t know why, but we do.

"The Importance of Digital Forensics in Modern-Day Investigations"

Digital forensics is the process of collecting, analyzing, and preserving electronic data to support legal investigations and proceedings. It involves the use of various tools and techniques to uncover digital evidence that can be used to reconstruct events, establish timelines, and identify suspects or perpetrators of cybercrime.

Digital forensics can be applied in a variety of contexts, including criminal investigations, civil litigation, and corporate security. It is used to investigate a range of digital devices and storage media, such as computers, mobile phones, digital cameras, and USB drives.

The digital forensics process typically involves several key steps. First, data is collected from the relevant devices or storage media, which may involve the use of specialized hardware or software tools. Once data is collected, it is analyzed to identify relevant evidence, such as deleted files, internet browsing history, and user activity logs. Finally, the evidence is preserved in a manner that is admissible in court, which may involve the creation of a forensic image or a chain of custody documentation.

Digital forensics can be used to investigate a wide range of cybercrimes, including data theft, network intrusion, intellectual property theft, and fraud. It is also used to investigate incidents of cyberbullying, harassment, and stalking.

Digital forensics has become increasingly important as the use of digital devices and the internet has become more ubiquitous. The field has also evolved rapidly in response to new technologies and threats, such as cloud computing, mobile devices, and social media. As a result, digital forensics experts must stay up-to-date with the latest tools and techniques to ensure that they can effectively investigate and respond to cybercrime.

FORTH:The Hacker’s Language

  FORTH:The Hacker’s Language Let’s start right off with a controversial claim: Forth is the hacker’s programming language. Coding in Forth is a little bit like writing assembly language, interactively, for a strange CPU architecture that doesn’t exist. Forth is a virtual machine, an interpreted command-line, and a compiler all in one. And all of this is simple enough that it’s easily capable of running in a few kilobytes of memory. When your Forth code is right, it reads just like a natural-language sentence but getting there involves a bit of puzzle solving. From Thinking FORTH Forth is what you’d get if Python slept with Assembly Language: interactive, expressive, and without syntactical baggage, but still very close to the metal. Is it a high-level language or a low-level language? Yes! Or rather, it’s the shortest path from one to the other. You can, and must, peek and poke directly into memory in Forth, but you can also build up a body of higher-level code fast enough that yo...
