Practical AI for Cybersecurity, Digital Forensics, and Incident Response
Goodin AI explores practical applications of artificial intelligence in cybersecurity, digital forensics, and incident response. Our work focuses on helping investigators, security teams, MSSPs, and legal professionals make sense of complex digital evidence faster, without sacrificing accuracy, traceability, or professional judgment.
Built on Forensic Experience and Cybersecurity Practice
Goodin AI is led by David Goodin, whose background combines cybersecurity analysis, digital forensic science, technical writing, and education. This mix of technical investigation, evidence handling, and clear communication shapes the way Goodin AI approaches modern forensic technology: tools should help analysts work faster while keeping findings explainable, reviewable, and defensible.
Our Mission
Our mission is to make advanced forensic analysis faster, more explainable, and more accessible while preserving the integrity of digital evidence. Through Palimpsest, Goodin AI applies local AI to forensic workflows including evidence triage, artifact classification, timeline reconstruction, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, and analyst-reviewed reporting. The Palimpsest deck describes this as an AI-augmented digital forensics and incident response system designed for on-prem and air-gap-ready environments.
Why Palimpsest
Digital investigations now involve massive volumes of logs, disk images, memory dumps, PCAPs, mobile artifacts, cloud records, and endpoint telemetry. Palimpsest is designed to help analysts move through that evidence using a five-stage forensic AI pipeline: ingest, extract, analyze, reconstruct, and report.
Our Approach to Trustworthy AI
Goodin AI believes that AI should augment forensic analysts, not replace them. Palimpsest is designed around local processing, analyst review, chain-of-custody awareness, and defensible reporting. Its capabilities include AI evidence classification, timeline reconstruction, MITRE ATT&CK mapping, air-gap mode, executive dashboards, and forensic reporting with artifact citations and auditability.
Built for Sensitive Evidence Environments
Goodin AI focuses on forensic AI systems for environments where privacy, evidence control, and trust matter. Palimpsest is designed to support on-premise workflows where client data can remain inside the investigative environment, making it suitable for DFIR teams, MSSPs, legal support, and organizations handling sensitive digital evidence.
