A high school "speech and debate" club characterized by its unusually high ratio of ultra-preppy douchebags. People in forensics, often referred to as forensicators, base their very existence on researching obscure topics in order to appear somewhat intelligence during a debate tournament. Such individuals thrive on a culture of elitism that habitually looks down on others who do not share their passion for caffeine addiction and one-ups-manship. A complete and utter ineptitude in the areas of Science, Technology, Engineering, and mathematics plague forensicators, who often enter a field such a politics where they can make a career out of spouting bullshit and looking down on other people.
God, that Andrew kid never shuts up about his trophies or obviously flaws existential ideas. That tool must be in forensics.

Steve: "Did you hear about Bob? He got arrested for child porn on his computer."
Dave: "Yup - can't hide from a good forensicator!"
Mike: "I can't figure out how my network was compromised! Is it a hack, APT or insider threat?!?"
Bill: "I dunno dude - you better hire a forensicator."
Lawyer 1: "Why can't I just drag and drop the files needed for discovery?"
Lawyer 2: "It's not court admissible! You need all the meta data and hash checks - better get a forensicator."

Dave: "Not, yet I am still forensicating the EDB files."
Sam: "Dude you look horrible - when is the last time you slept?"
Max: "Man, I dunno I have been forensicating the raw data for 50 hours straight."

A word made up by senior officers and management to spuriously and incorrectly describe the process of forensically examining a crime scene. The word is not recognised by forensic examiners as having any valid or useful meaning. Often used by uninformed and untrained individuals to give the impression of knowledge of forensic science and forensic examination techniques.

A term to describe digital forensic examiners. This term was originally created by BJ Lachner and has been popularized by Rob Lee of the SANS Institute. The term first came into public use on April 1st, 2007 on the Cyberspeak digital forensic podcast.
The term is sometimes used in the phrase "Lethal Forensicator" to describe elite forensicators.
An easy way to identify a lethal forensicator is to ask them to produce their SANS Institute’s Digital Forensics “Lethal Forensicator” Coin aka the RMO (Round Metal Object) which is awarded by the SANS Institute to select lethal forensicators

When I first started out in digital forensics, I was just doing Nintendo forensics. I've learned so much since then that I'm now a lethal forensicator.
