...meanwhile, in National Institue of Standards and Technology (NIST) newa, comes a terrific piece on the latest efforts to provide assurance by NIST to the Drone Forensics community, with a compendium of tools and data, not the least of which is a grouping of Computer Forensic Reference Datasets, or CFReDS, of which, encompass digital evidence simulations (all available on a no-fee basis).

'A forensic image is a complete data extraction from a digital device, and NIST maintains a repository of images made from personal computers, mobile phones, tablets, hard drives and other storage media. The images in NIST’s Computer Forensic Reference Datasets, or CFReDS, contain simulated digital evidence and are available to download for free. Recently, NIST opened a new section of CFReDS dedicated to drones, where forensic experts can find images of 14 popular makes and models, a number that is expected to grow to 30 by December 2018.' via the National Institue of Standards and Technology

Battelle’s DroneDefender Antidrone Countermeasure

Miscreant Gang Runs Drone Intercept Targeting FBI Agents

May 08, 2018 by Marc Handelman in US FBI, Law Enforcement, Drones, Drone Countermeasures

via Patrick Tucker, the Technology Editor over at DefenseOne, posted a particularly troubling new piece on May 3rd, detailing an incident in which our Federal Bureau of Investigation agents were attacked by a criminal gang's drone swarm. Obviously, a complicating tactic executed by the gang for law enforcement, and for the victim of that gang - a hostage being held nearby. I am certain that LE is thinking anti-drone countermeasures right about now... Read Patrick's well-wrought article over at DefenseOne.

Apparently, Deutsche Telekom is now in the anti-drone business, utilizing a partner toolkit - monikered 'DroneTracker', and branded - interestingly - the 'Magenta Drone Protection Shield'...

'DroneTracker, developed by Dedrone in Kassel, is the key system that detects drones automatically by means of various sensors – such as video cameras, radio frequency scanners, and microphones – and repels them if necessary. At its core is smart software that is able to distinguish drones from birds, helicopters, and other flying objects safely, and even to recognize specific drone models.' - via HelpNet Security
