Advanced Forensic Format: An Open, Extensible Format for Disk Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper describes the Advanced Forensic Format (AFF), which is designed as an alternative to current proprietary disk image formats. AFF offers two significant benefits. First, it is more flexible because it allows extensive metadata to be stored with images. Second, AFF images consume less disk space than images in other formats (e.g., EnCase images). This paper also describes the Advanced Disk Imager (AImage), a new program for acquiring disk images that compares favorably with existing alternatives.

Extending the advanced forensic format to accommodate multiple data sources, logical evidence, arbitrary information and forensic workflow
Forensic analysis requires the acquisition and management of many different types of evidence, including individual disk drives, RAID sets, network packets, memory images, and extracted files. Often the same evidence is reviewed by several different tools or examiners in different locations. We propose a backwards-compatible redesign of the Advanced Forensic Formatdan open, extensible file form...
متن کاملZTR: a new format for DNA sequence trace data
MOTIVATION To produce an open and extensible file format for DNA trace data which produces compact files suitable for large-scale storage and efficient use of internet bandwidth. RESULTS We have created an extensible format named ZTR. For a set of data taken from an ABI-3700 the ZTR format produces trace files which require 61.6% of the disk space used by gzipped SCFv3, and which can be writt...
متن کاملDigital Forensics Formats: Seeking a Digital Preservation Storage Container Format for Web Archiving
In this paper we discuss archival storage container formats from the point of view of digital curation and preservation, an aspect of preservation overlooked by most other studies. Considering established approaches to data management as our jumping off point, we selected seven container format attributes that are core to the long term accessibility of digital materials. We have labeled these c...
متن کاملDamage Detection of Axially Loaded Beam: A Frequency-Based Method
The present study utilizes an analytical method to formulate the three lowest modal frequencies of axially-loaded notched beam through both crack location and load level in a specific format that can be used in existing frequency-based crack-identification methods. The proposed formula provides a basis to shift into two states, one with axial loading and the other without any loading whatsoever...
