Pattern-Oriented Software Forensics: A Foundation of Memory Forensics and Forensics of Things

This is the full transcript of Software Diagnostics Services seminar (27th of December 2013) about a comprehensive theory behind software forensics based on systemic and pattern-oriented software diagnostics developed by Software Diagnostics Institute. It synthesizes pattern-oriented memory analysis of malware and victimware with pattern-oriented software log and trace analysis based on software narratology. Topics include: The Definitions of Forensics, Computer Forensics, Software Forensics, Software Diagnostics, Diagnostic Pattern, Diagnostic Problem, Forensic Pattern, Software Forensics, The Relationship of Diagnostics and Forensics, Pattern Orientation, Forensic Analysis Patterns, Pattern Catalog Classification, Partition, and Implementation, Artifact Forensics, The Definitions of Software Narrative, Software Trace, Generalized Narrative, Hardware Narrative, The Definitions of Narratology of Things and Robotic Narratology, Pattern-Driven and Pattern-Based Analysis, Further Reading Suggestions for Software Diagnostics, Memory Dump Analysis, and Software Trace Analysis.
