The fast capacity growth of cheap storage presents an ever-escalating problem for forensic investigations as currently employed forensic technologies are not designed to scale to the degree necessary to meet the challenge. In this work, we present an approach which seeks to scale up the process of finding related digital artifacts across large data sets by employing an advanced version of our s...

Objective(s): Alternative normalization methods were proposed to solve the biased information of SPM in the study of neurodegenerative disease. The objective of this study was to determine the most suitable count normalization method for SPM analysis of a neurodegenerative disease based on the results of different count normalization methods applied on a prepared digital phantom similar to one ...

Two families comprising six simple schemata, which reproduce with high accuracy the outputs of Bayesian belief networks as used in actual digital forensic investigations, are described, analyzed, and evaluated numerically. Their application as a forensic triage measure to help in deciding whether a full digital forensic investigation is warranted is critically discussed. The concept of a digita...

Due to the numerous complicating factors in the field of small scale digital device forensics, physical acquisition of the storage of such devices is often not possible (at least not without destroying the device). As an alternative, forensic examiners often gather digital evidence from small scale digital devices through logical acquisition. This paper focuses on analyzing the backup file gene...

Traditionally, digital forensics focused on artifacts located on the storage devices of computer systems, mobile phones, digital cameras, and other electronic devices. In the past decade, however, researchers have created a number of powerful memory forensics tools that expand the scope of digital forensics to include the examination of volatile memory as well. While memory forensic techniques ...

Older instant messaging programs typically require some form of installation on the client machine, enabling forensic investigators to find a wealth of evidentiary artifacts. However, this paradigm is shifting as web-based instant messaging becomes more popular. Many traditional messaging clients (e.g., AOL Messenger, Yahoo! and MSN), can now be accessed using only a web browser. This presents ...

An area presenting new opportunities for both legitimate business, as well as criminal organizations, is Cloud computing. This work gives a strong background in current digital forensic science, as well as a basic understanding of the goal of Law Enforcement when conducting digital forensic investigations. These concepts are then applied to digital forensic investigation of cloud environments i...

Faculty Of Science & Technology Islamic Science University Of Malaysia Summary With the proliferation of the digital crime around the world, numerous digital forensic investigation models already being develop .In fact many of the digital forensic investigation model focus on technical implementation of the investigation process as most of it develop by traditional forensic expert and technolog...

The research proposed in this paper focuses on gathering evidence from devices with UNIX/Linux systems (in particular on Ubuntu 14.04 and Android OS) in order to find artifacts left by cloud storage applications that suggests their use even after the deletion of the applications. The work performed aims to expand upon the prior work done by other researches in the field of cloud forensics and t...

The forensic detection of median filtering has recently attracted the attention of the research community, mainly because of the median filtering potential uses for tampering and concealing image tampering traces in digital images. In this paper, we propose multi-scale and multi-perturbation solutions that build a highly discriminative feature space, which highlights the artifacts of median fil...
