Here's my house:

No, I have never authored a report that mischaracterizes "data" found on 
a hard drive as "proof of wrongdoing by a person". Data prove nothing.

Only people who need "computer forensics" to mean something more than it 
really does so that they can have "careers" do such intolerable things.

I have published books and articles that contained inaccuracies. For 
this I apologize. No apology can every restore the lives destroyed by 
"computer forensics" used to gather "evidence" against those accused of 
crimes.

Use whatever tools and information-gathering techniques you want to 
conduct investigations, but stop telling lies to judges. Just stop.

Whether you're Cisco and playing like you're hurt so you can improperly 
press your claim of "trade secrets" that do not exist, or whether you're 
a prosecutor or law enforcement "forensic examiner" who just wouldn't 
have a paycheck if you didn't "play along" -- just stop.

Bring on the stones. Do your worst. You and people like you are evil and 
you must be stopped.

Sincerely,

Jason Coombs
