Daily Blog #714: Forensic Lunch 1/10/25 with Ryatt Roesrma talking about fine tuning AI models


The Forensic Lunch is Back! 🍴

Hello Readers,

I'm excited to announce that The Forensic Lunch is back with another episode! This week, we had the privilege of hosting Wyatt Roersma, who shared his insights on training open-source AI models for specialized tasks.

Wyatt has been exploring how to take open-source AI models, like Qwen-2.5, and train them using examples such as YARA rules and targeted prompts to enhance their usefulness for specific applications. In the episode, he walks us through the process step-by-step, empowering you to apply similar techniques to solve your unique challenges.

For instance, I'm currently experimenting with getting AI models to write dfvfs code. While the models are fairly accurate, I believe with a bit of fine-tuning and additional training, they could become even more precise and reliable.

Key Resources from Wyatt's Discussion

Here are some invaluable links to help you dive deeper into the topics discussed in the episode:

Daily Blog #686: Want to be on the Forensic Lunch?


Hello Reader,
         Now that the Forensic Lunch is weekly I'm trying to work extra hard to book guests in advance, which I maayyy have been lax about the last year or so. I'm now booked for the next 4 weeks but I'm looking to find new voices, new research and new cool stuff that the community at large wants to see.

So this is your chance. Been watching the Lunch for years? Always thought you had something to say? Email me dlcowen@gmail.com with the subject Forensic Lunch Guest Request and let's get you scheduled and get the word out on what your up to.

Commercial Software Vendors Please Note:
Commercial products are something I let on the lunch when I personally feel that the value they bring is something novel and has value to the community at large. If you send me a product pitch I may need alot more information before agreeing to have you on.

Examples of past vendors:
Guidance software
Accessdata
Magnet
Atola
Demisto
Belkasoft

I have turned away many others, please know that even if you do come on the public chat will be wanting to ask questions you must be prepared to answer.

Daily Blog #674: Forensic Lunch Podcast is up to date!

The Forensic Lunch with David Cowen and Matthew Seyer

Hello Reader,
        I was planning to search my Cloudtrail logs today in a test kitchen to show my snapshot activity, but life has a way of getting in the way ... even when you don't leave the house.



However what I did accomplish today was getting the podcast caught up with the Youtube broadcasts! It was over a year behind so this was long overdue. The official podcast page is here:

https://forensiclunch.libsyn.com/

You can listen/subscribe from the main site above or get it on many popular podcasting apps such as:


I thought it would be a good idea to explain the process of turning the live video's into a podcast in case others wanted to do so.

  1. After the live broadcast is over I can download the show as a mp4 video file from Youtube
  2. I think use Foobar2000 to strip the audio our of the mp4 and store it as a mp3
  3. I use libsyn.com for my podcast hosting so I then have to upload the mp3 there
    1. Note I tried to self host my podcast but there are some additional tags and features that the podcast feeds want that I just decided I didn't want to deal with
  4. Once uploaded I need to add guest info and titles and the podcast sites pull from there, years ago I submitted the feed to a couple and the others appear to have taken the hint
Reasons why I was behind:
  1. When I left the old company the login was tied to my old company email account, so I had to get that changed since I was paying for it but couldn't get access to it
  2. Once episodes build up its a chore to go back and catch up which is why it fell behind before I left
  3. Real work and personal lives sometimes compete with free work

So my plan is to keep up from this point forward, I'll be honest its easier when I do the daily blogs because then I can take the show description I wrote in the blog and just paste it into the podcast description!

So there you go, that's what it takes to get the podcast done. What I would ask of you if you read this far is to let me know things I could do with the podcast side of things that would make it easier to listen to/better to use.
