Welcome to my corner of the digital world! I’m David Porco (AKA OmenScan), a passionate and experienced professional specializing in incident response, digital forensics and cybersecurity. With over a decade of experience in the field, I’ve honed my expertise in investigative analysis and developing tools to assist in forensic investigations.
As one of the Directors of the Blue Team Village at DEF CON, I have the privilege of working with some of the brightest minds in cybersecurity. The Blue Team Village focuses on the defensive side of security, offering hands-on experiences, workshops, and discussions around cybersecurity best practices, incident response, and digital forensics. I’m excited to contribute to a space that not only promotes collaboration and learning but also shapes the future of cybersecurity defense, and cybersecurity professionals.
I document and share my research here on Musectech.com, a site dedicated to pushing the boundaries of digital forensics and creating innovative solutions for cybersecurity professionals. My work primarily focuses on developing open-source forensics tools that enhance investigative capabilities, reduce the time required for analysis, and improve the accuracy of digital evidence recovery.
You can learn more about my work, interests, and thoughts by browsing through my LinkedIn profile (http://www.linkedin.com/in/dporco), where I detail my career milestones and accomplishments. Throughout my career, I've been fortunate to work with cutting-edge technologies, gaining expertise in incident response, as well as contributing to the development of new forensic tools aimed at solving complex challenges.
I believe in the power of community-driven tools and sharing knowledge, which is why I actively contribute to open-source projects on my GitHub (http://github.com/omenscan) repository. You can find a variety of forensic analysis tools I’ve developed, ranging from forensic artifact analysis scripts to evidence parsing utilities and custom solutions for log analysis and incident detection.
One of my most notable projects is AChoirX, an advanced, cross-platform forensic tool designed for high-level investigations. AChoirX assists forensic professionals by automating the process of collecting and analyzing digital evidence, with an emphasis on enhancing the speed and accuracy of investigations. It supports a wide range of forensic data types and platforms, making it an invaluable asset for investigators handling complex cases.
I also maintain a blog (http://blog.musectech.com) where I write about forensic analysis techniques, security trends, and detailed tutorials on using my tools. The blog is a blend of practical advice, research findings, and technical discussions to help others in the cybersecurity and digital forensics communities stay up-to-date with the latest industry developments.
Digital Forensics Investigation: Extracting, analyzing, and presenting digital evidence.
Incident Response: Leading reactive responses to security breaches and identifying root causes.
Tool Development: Creating and maintaining forensic tools that aid in efficient data analysis, with a focus on automation and scalability.
I am also a strong advocate for continuous learning and knowledge sharing, always exploring new techniques, methodologies, and tools in the ever-evolving field of digital forensics.
