[I figured this would be relevant to some of the developers on this  
list]



The DFRWS 2007 File Carving Challenge has been posted:

http://www.dfrws.org/2007/challenge/

Submissions are Due July 9, 2007.

This years challenge builds upon last years and adds more file types  
and scenarios. File carving is the process of extracting files from  
data using file type specific  knowledge, such as header and footer  
values or internal data structures. Different approaches to file  
carving result in different error rates and the goal of this  
challenge is to develop AUTOMATED file carving programs that are  
efficient and have low false positive rates.

Additional details are on the website.

Remember that paper submissions for the general conference are due  
April 2, 2007.
