"Microsoft hosts its own police academy"
CNET (April 28, 2008)
"Hundreds of officials from agencies around the world including the FBI, Interpol, state attorneys general, city and county police, and the Air Force are attending a three-day technology training session at Microsoft's Redmond, Wash., campus beginning on Monday."
"Officials also will be trained on a relatively new computer online forensic evidence extractor, with the acronym of COFEE, that was developed by a former Hong Kong cop who now works for Microsoft. COFEE (Computer Online Forensic Evidence Extractor), designed for use during police raids, is a USB thumb drive that captures evidence on a computer that could be lost when the computer is shut off, according to Kornblum."
Looks like law enforcement is getting tools to investigate cybercrime. Between phishing attacks, identity theft, botnets, and all the rest of Information Age crime, that's good news.
One thing came to mind, though. When will we see DONUT: (Digital Online Network Utilization Tracker)?
I've done my part, coming up with a cool name. Now it's up to someone else, to invent a working system to fit it. ;)

Today's News! Some of it, anyway
Actually, some of yesterday's news may be here. Or maybe last week's.
The software and science stuff might still be interesting, though. Or not.
The Lemming thinks it's interesting: Your experience may vary.
