The Digital forensics or more precise computer forensics fascinated me a lot ever since I ssaw a demo on stenography. Later on while handling the same and using various forensic software suites further made me interested in exploring the various facets of Digital forensics.
However once i started pursuing my MS, it left little time to do something else.
Recent chance meeting, though long overdue, with a good friend who had switched his job made me think again about rekindling this area once again.
Today when I thought of starting once again, first thing about digital forensics struck me was , to know more about EnCase.
Came across this primer and advanced link. I thought of sharing with you all.

Lenovo Compromises Laptops Security.
China has done it again.
One of world's three largest Laptop and PC manufacturer faltered as it inadvertently installed an adware Superfish.
This adware or the software that automatically displays advertisements, maliciously hijacks the encrypted connection and throws open them for hackers to launch MITM(man in the middle) attacks and also eavesdrop on your communications via infected laptop.
This was reported by CEO of security research firm Errata Securities.
As per the report even uninstalling Superfish doesn't mitigate the threat. The Software has already authorised itself to take over secure connections and throws them open, declaring them safe and trusted, even when they are not. This leaves the laptop vulnerable to NSA type snooping attacks.
In recent past similar reports of Xiomi collecting user data and sending them to servers In China.
More details can be explored.on the link given below.
Happy Hunting.
