Student Assistant for Continuing Education Courses in IT Forensics and AI Security

In the area of expertise ‘IT Forensics’, we research and develop methods for the digital search for evidence in IT systems and on the internet on various specialist topics:

 ​

• Data storage device analysis under Linux and Windows (file systems such as ext[234]/NTFS/FAT)


• Detection of image/video manipulations (e.g., deepfakes) using deep learning classifiers and traditional multimedia forensics


• Robust hash functions for image recognition


• OSINT and crawling, social media and the dark web / cryptocurrencies


• Machine learning for data analysis


• AI security: Attacks on deep learning (classifiers, LLMs) and countermeasures, e.g., against adversarial examples, prompt injection, etc.
