Based on the success of the Digital Forensic Research Workshop (DFRWS)
2005 memory analysis challenge, a new challenge is being posted for
DFRWS 2006. This year, the focus is on file carving techniques.
The challenge data set contains JPEG, ZIP, Office, HTML, and text files
and fragments. The goal is to develop new tools and techniques to
extract as many files as possible while reducing the number of false
positives. All techniques developed for this challenge must be fully
described and source code for tools must be released (after all, the
goal of DFRWS is to foster research...).
More details can be found at:

Submissions are due by July 17, 2006 and results will be announced at
the DFRWS 2006 reception.
