About Us
It all started ...

In the basement of the Taigliatella College of Engineering under the direction of Dr. Ibrahim Bagilli and over twenty research students since 2014. The AGP was officially launched in 2017. Since then, AGP has grown stronger with over 1,000 vetted artifacts and over 20 educational challenges freely available for vetted users from the Cybersecurity community.
Our ideaology centers around defining some key concepts and making you see in full details what each of those terminologies mean.
An object of digital archaeological interest.
We have chosen to adopt MITRE's Cyber Observable eXpression (CybOX™) to represent digital forensic artifacts. CybOX is a standardized language for encoding and communicating high-fidelity information about cyber observables.
What is a cyber observable?
Cyber observables are events or stateful properties that occur, or may occur, in the operational cyber domain, such as the value of a registry key, deletion of a file, or the receipt of an http GET.
"Digital forensic laboratories are seeing an increase in demand while also seeing a significant increase in the amount of data received for each examination." (Casey, Katz, & Lewthwaite, 2013)
This calls for researchers to develop methods that increase the rate of forensic artifact acquisition and analysis.
It is our hope that through collaboration with universities, research institutions, and the rest of the cyber community we can continue to grow the AGP artifacts’ database and educational modules into a more complete representation of all artifacts that may be discovered in the cyber domain. It is also our intention to provide this tool as a resource to support investigators, students, and the rest of the community in gaining an understanding of the artifacts they may find.
To learn more about the Artifact Genome Project, read our published paper “Experience constructing the Artifact Genome Project (AGP): Managing the domain's knowledge one artifact at a time.”
Project Objectives
- An educational platform for students to learn about digital forensic artifacts.
- An approach that allows instructors to implement self-paced, automatically assessed learning modules related to digital forensic artifacts into their courses.
- An online educational community made up of industry professionals, students, and instructors.
- Free access to the artifacts and instructional material for anyone vetted through the system.
- Catalyze the study of digital forensics artifacts over time.
