I am a machine learning engineer, so I don't work in IT but I do have some knowledge in hacking. Codemonkey along woth the other external members didn't get the data because it was injected will malicious code, that was found at the Symposium, but could have been injected before hand. They aren't going to give out data that is corrupt in some way. They entire Symposium was suppose to be organic and casual. They did not know they were getting these forensic images beforehand. It was a massive MASSIVE bombshell of a update for everyone. These images are so much better than pcaps. So with the pcaps needing to be fixes and with the bombshell images, the Symposium went another direction. This was all new info for everyone. You were seeing the messy, boring, slow side of forensics. Its is very slow because you don't know what you have, you don't know how the system is setup, where the important files are, etc. We watched 1 day of the images being looked at which will the weeks to complete.
