Digital Forensics and Osama Bin Laden

The World

In this episode of The World's Technology Podcast, we look at the kinds of tools and techniques might the US military be using to get intelligence data from the computer hard drives and disks gathered during the raid on Osama Bin Laden's compound in Pakistan. Also, we'll step back in time and revisit the Enigma Machine from World War II. (Photo: Matthew Field)
