Black Hat Briefings, Japan 2005 [audio] Presentations From The Security Conference

"In forensic research it is imperative to search for Japanese language strings. However many of the tools used in forensic research are being developed outside of Japan, and therefore not tuned for the Japanese language. In Japan there is research being done on using character encoding for anti-forensic countermeasures, and therefore character encoding and Japanese are significant issues for Japanese agents. This session will cover the various issues on Japanese when using popular forensic tools and other technical issues for future considerations. Hideaki Ihara was born in 1973.
