🙌Thank you so much SANS Institute & @HeatherBarnhart.bsky.social for the opportunity to share the LEAPPs framework with the #DFIR community in Miami.

If you want to research #Android & #iOS full file systems extractions you have to use the ones @joshhickman.bsky.social generates.

They are fully documented with timestamps.

They have been an invaluable resource when making parsers for the #LEAPPS.

Check them out.

SANS DFIRcon presenter's dinner picture.
Hanging out with Korstiaan Stam, Ian Whiffin, Brian Maloney and others.

I'm up at 1 PM leading a workshop on the LEAPPs framework. Hope to make a new Android Bluesky artifact parser with the class.

Taking the train to Miami to speak about the #LEAPPs at the SANS DFIRcon 2025.

The plan is to discuss the platform and make an artifact for it together.

If you are there and you see me say hi. I got stickers!

New LEAPPs feature highlight! ✨

Run a parser and lose track of the output folder? LAVA now shows your recent iLEAPP, ALEAPP, RLEAPP, and VLEAPP runs right on the welcome screen. Opt-in by design.

Nice work by the awesome James Habben.

New on the LEAPPs blog. ⚙️

astc_decomp_faster now builds on Python 3.13 and 3.14, every platform, including Apple Silicon. That unblocks the LEAPPs on the latest Python

A great deep-dive from Bruno Constanzo on ASTC, Cython, and bugs. #DFIR

🔎 New on the LEAPPs Artifact Browser: click "samples" on any parser to see the test images it was validated against, with row counts.

Knowing what a tool was tested against is the work, not a nice to have.
