Digital forensic techniques are used primarily by private organisations and law enforcement agencies to capture, preserve and analyze evidence on digital devices. Digital evidence collected at a crime scene has to be analyzed and connections between the recovered information need to be made and proven.

• Disk analysis: Autopsy/the Sleuth Kit.
• Image creation: FTK imager.
• Memory forensics: volatility.
• Windows registry analysis: Registry recon.
• Mobile forensics: Cellebrite UFED.
• Network analysis: Wireshark.
• Linux distributions: CAINE.

What is the first rule of digital forensics?

The first rule of computer forensic evidence analysis is “don’t alter the evidence in any way.” The simple act of turning on a computer can alter or destroy any evidence that might be there. The search for evidence on a computer should only be done by a trained and experienced computer forensic examiner.

What are the two rules about data forensics?

Rule 1. An examination should never be performed on the original media. Rule 2. A copy is made onto forensically sterile media.

What are the challenges of digital forensics?

Challenges for digital forensics

• Explosion of complexity.
• Development of standards.
• Privacy-preserving investigations.
• Legitimacy.
• Rise of antiforensics techniques.

What are the two categories of digital forensics tools?

Computer forensics tools are divided into two major categories: hardware and software.

What are the three main goals of digital forensics select three?

Digital Forensics Framework The DFF was developed with the three main goals of modularity (allowing for changes to the software by developers), scriptability (allowing for automation), and genericity (keeping the operating-system agnostic to help as many users as possible).

What is digital forensic model?

In digital forensics, a process model is the methodology used to conduct an investigation; a framework with a number of phases to guide an investigation. Generally, process models were proposed on the experience of previous work.

How many rules are there for digital forensics?

There are basically five cardinal rules to be followed systematically by cyber forensic examiner. The first cardinal rule says to preserve the evidence, which means that the evidence should not to be tampered with or contaminated.

What is the biggest challenge forensic laboratories face today?

There are many standards that are relevant when creating a digital forensics laboratory, including: Environmental management systems (ISO 14000), occupational health and safety (OHSAS 18000), Risk Management (ISO 31000), Information security management (ISO 27000), etc.

Why don’t digital forensic examiners have policies and procedures?

This is not because of any intentional oversight by digital forensic examiners, but generally because the majority of examiners face a daunting backlog of evidence to examine and the thought of taking time away from the work to create policies and procedures becomes a low priority.

What are the Interpol guidelines for digital forensics laboratories?

Is there a lack of rigor in the digital forensics discipline?

For my Master of Science Degree in Information Security and Assurance (MSISA) I wrote my thesis about the overall lack of standards, certifications, and accreditation in the digital forensics discipline ( available here ). This lack of rigor within our profession may very well jeopardize the credibility of our discipline.
