Forensic Analyst Puns

Hello everyone. I am very interested in the Forensic Science field, and was seeking some clarification in regards to specific career paths. Ideally, if time and money were not an issue, I'd love to be a medical examiner. However I'm already 25 and do not have the patience to wait 10+ years for my career. I also don't have 200K+ for loans but that's besides the point. I would like to get as close to the M.E. as I possibly can, whatever it may be. I currently work in healthcare as a Patient Care Tech in a Pediatric ICU and have been in healthcare for 8 years.

I know I love it and I feel it would behoove me and hold my interest more to be closer to a body rather than a microscope, if that makes sense. Not that I mind to do that kind of work at all, but it's not at the top of my list. I search and dig online but I wanted to ask professionals directly. I do not currently have a degree, but I do have college credits that could transfer. I'm also unfortunately in a smaller city so I feel my options are smaller here.

Thank you so much for your time and patience. I really appreciate you.

Hey community, 24 years old SIEM administrator who's currently self-studying to become a network forensics analyst.

I'm reading books/watching youtube videos/doing some SANS and Chris Sanders courses but I want to hear from the subreddit - what's a good workflow or some tips when starting to analyze PCAPS?

I have a lab with Brim, Suricata, and Snort that I play with. Assuming I'm tasked with analyzing a PCAP that is related to an incident of some sort, what would be good pointers and procedures to follow? what would be things that I would want to look for, and how do I find them?

Thanks in advance!

My kid is 14 he is into true crime and into horror and serial killers. He wants to be a forensic analyst. He told me they do crime scenes and takes pics of bodies and gore. He is a smart kid and has a 4.0. He said he researched a school In Colorado he wants to go to and wants to go to a magnet school here that offers forensics. When I went to the meeting it just seemed so ridiculous like it was an ad for Dexter to get the kids to sign up.

I always assumed Forensic pathologists did more of the crime scene and detectives I thought analysts worked more in a lab and rarely did crime scenes.I don’t want to take the idea out of his head, but it just seems he wants to do it cause horror and scary stuff is what he is into?

Can someone who is analyst tell me what you do? I do understand some ballistics and some do DNA samples, but are you out there examining bodies and gore and In autopsies? Cause that is what my kid thinks.

Also when I do a Google search first thing that comes up says they investigate crime scenes but it’s an ad for a for profit college. So Google has too many variables . I want to understand it if we are going to start looking for scholarships and colleges what exactly he is going to be doing?

I thought it was more science based and a lot of math is involved. I always heard that a forensic pathologist deals with the bodies. Thanks for the help. Sorry for the novel.

Was it helpful for your process and education?

Firm's trying to figure out if it's a worthwhile purchase for existing analysts with a few years on the job. Seems like it's geared for professional investors, so presumably a step up from BIWS and WSP, but haven't seen too much about it online.

The website's janky af, but the guy's background is solid and the program itself seems fairly legitimate from what I can tell of the preview videos.

I’m putting myself through grad school (masters in Information and Communication Technology) and one of the things I do on the side of my normal job is consult as a Forensic Cybersecurity Analyst.

Basically, if you have information online, I can find it and I’ll report it to whoever is thinking about hiring you, suing you, or I’ll send it to you if you’re serious about your own security.

H3 could hire an analyst to go through Kavanaugh’s online presence and truly find out what he’s posting. It’s never a sure thing that we will find anything but you’d be surprised what some people will freely provide online.

We have special techniques to identify unique patterns, trace their digital footprint, and identify inculpatory information. We also are licensed to use special software that can pull from the whole internet including the dark web (legally without actually toughing it). Mostly we have time, this process just takes forever and I will sit their and let my brain go numb to trace down the corners of the internet someone exists on.

Example: going from a user’s LinkedIn to their follows on LI to a conference they follow, to the conference’s Instagram and cross referencing accounts following that conference with key words linked to that user to find their private Instagram.

I’ve had small and big clients, I’ve worked with people Ryan falsely claims to have worked with- nobody is exempt from being caught online.

It would be so interesting to see this done from an entertainment perspective.

Article summary/text below for those who dont want to click on daily mail links

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-9677621/MI6-analyst-Gareth-Williams-spy-bag-death-examined-thanks-new-forensic-lead.html

"In 2013, Scotland Yard said the 31-year-old, a brilliant mathematician who worked for the intelligence agency GCHQ, probably died by accident after getting into the bag on his own. But a year earlier an inquest ruled that he may have been unlawfully killed. His family believe he was murdered.

At the time of his death Mr Williams had been seconded from GCHQ to MI6 and is believed to have been tracing money laundering routes used by the Russian mafia. His death is one of 14 reportedly highlighted by US intelligence as potentially having Russian involvement.

Advances in DNA and forensic techniques now mean a strand of hair found on Mr Williams's hand – from which experts could not extract a DNA profile – may shed new light on the case.

Experts previously needed the root of a hair to determine a DNA profile, but leading forensic scientist.

Professor Angela Gallop said recently that this was no longer the case, and investigators only need as little as 2mm of hair.

Traces of the DNA of two unidentified people found on the handle and padlock of the bag, plus the DNA of another unknown person on a green towel in Mr Williams's flat, could also be re-examined.

Professor Gallop and retired Detective Chief Superintendent Hamish Campbell, who oversaw the original case, have both previously called for a forensic review.

The inquiry will be led by Detective Chief Superintendent Mark Morgan, head of the Met's homicide and serious crime command team.

A Met spokesman said: 'There is an established review process for investigations whereby new information and/or forensic opportunities are considered. The Met is currently undertaking a forensic review to assess whether there are any new investigative opportunities in this case, and we await its outcome.

'We remain in close contact with Gareth's family to ensure they are fully supported.'"

Hey I recently seen a job opening for a forensic analyst at the United States Postal Service, does anyone know what that job would entail?

It’s currently airing (8p eastern/5 pacific.) They’re going over part 2 of DW statement. He did a group analysis earlier today & apparently that’s what’s being discussed. The space is here for anyone who wishes to discuss, if you don’t, I completely get it, but please just move on.

I’m paraphrasing throughout to keep up. All statements are from tonight’s episode in analyzing DW’s phone call with Chris.

• lol ‘looks like we’re live, but we’ve lost Chris.’ Yep.
• Steve: words reveal more than people thinks they will. The holy grail is knowing how to break down what people say. It’s made an unbelievable difference in my LE career & in cases I assist with.
• Going over part 3 of original call & Chris has another call that he wants to play. This call is ‘interesting.’ (Oooh boy) Only a 3 minute call.
• You said you were going to help me find my daughter man. Now they’re all going to think I did. Yeah, I told you I had something going on with my stepsister, but now you said that my niece says I raped her.
• Chris: I wanted people to know the truth. What about the statement regarding your sister? How many years difference?
• Don: she initiated it. I was a kid. I might’ve been somewhat older than her but I was a kid. There was a little bit of difference there but she still initiated it. This happened over 40 years ago. She could’ve called the cops on me while I was in prison & gotten me more time. You’re not perfect.
• Chris: tell me what I’ve done.
• Don: I know what Christ says. You’re a sinner. You ain’t no better than me. I will do everything I can to slander your name.

From the time of my posting, you have about 1 hour 40 minutes until the live stream begins.

Times: 8.00p Eastern (7p central, 6p mountain, 5p pacific) tonight, 8 August, 2021. Chris and Steve will be discussing Don’s interview.

This is a discussion space to use for anything related to this interview. As always, I look forward to discussing it with you all & hearing your thoughts.

Just saw it come up on YouTube. Scheduled for 8 August at 6.00p Eastern.

I will create a thread for discussion as usual on the day of. But if you’re interested, keep an eye out as we know how quickly times can change with his channel.

For anyone who is new, search for ‘The Interview Room’ on YouTube. It should pop up.

I’ll post the link in the discussion thread (links have been known to change so I’m just waiting on that so you have the right one.)

Also Can I do remote work?

Basically any book that focuses on those people or things. Could be a procedural you thought displayed these roles well. Could be a non-fiction book written by someone with those jobs.

Thanks!

It is a big bar. Very big one. And empty, or at least it was empty until this large group of people entered it.

They all form a queue in front of the bar and order drinks one by one. The politician gets a Heineken, the drug dealer orders a Budweiser, the beekeeper gets a mead, the priest buys a glass of red wine, the doctor also orders a glass of red wine, the lawyer orders a Jameson whiskey, the accountant buys a Guiness, the engineer feels fancy so he orders a margarita, the prostitute a gin tonic, the programmer orders a Heineken, the nurse orders a Cuba Libre, the chef gets just Pepsi because he is driving, the forensic analyst orders a shot of gold Tequila, the biologist gets a glass of white wine, the truck driver orders a Guiness and the writer bourbon.

The bartender feels exhausted after serving this many customers so he excuses himself and goes outside for a cigarette. Then he comes back and thinks of a fun challenge that will make his job easier. He says that before ordering another drink, everyone has to tell him a story from their work. If that story is interesting he will give them the drink for free. If the story is boring, they will not get a drink this round, if the story is neutral, they will be able to normally buy a drink. He announces that the best story of the night will grant its author a free bottle of homemade Rum the bartender made.

Some of the people are more excited than others. The accountant, for example, thinks really hard, but is unable to think of a story from his work that wouldn’t be considered boring. Embarrassed he leaves, quits his job and joins a flying academy because he has always dreamed of becoming a pilot.

He manages to successfully finish the training and becomes a certified pilot. He manages to get a job at the Ryanair and his first flight is from London to Mallorca.

The flight goes well and the landing is so clean that one man who slept the whole flight is still asleep after the plane lands.

This man’s name is Eric Huberts, he works as a manager in a large company and this week he decided to travel alone to Mallorca because he has been struggling with depression and thinks that such a trip will help him.

Eric gets of the plane and arrives at his hotel. He checks in and after a short quick poo in the bathroom of his room he goes downstairs to the diner where he gets a dinner.

The dinner is served by an attractive lady. She is quite young but skilled. She and Eric start chatting and she reveals that she

Hello, I’m an incoming junior majoring in biology (concentration cell & developmental). As I am halfway through college, I want some insight on becoming a forensic analyst as a career if anybody has any interest or experience on this pathway. I’m interested in working in forensics for a police department.

My questions being:

1. Do I need to intern in order to get a job as a forensic analyst right out of college?
2. Is this field competitive?
3. Is there a department on campus where I can ask questions about the forensics career?
4. Has CSUF prepare you to get into forensics?
