Digital Forensics investigation is the science and legal process of investigating computer/cybercrimes and digital media or objects to gather evidence. This new and fast evolving field encompasses computer forensics, network forensics, mobile forensics, cloud computing forensics, and IoT forensics; and for this reason have digital evidence distributed widely when the need arises for crime prosecution. Digital evidence must be authentic, accurate, complete, and convincing to the jury for legal admissibility at the court of law. In many instances due to the distributed nature of digital forensic evidence and the legal procedures to be adhered to in evidence gathering at a digital crime scene, presenting at the law courts have proven to be challenging and in some instances inadmissible. Following legal procedures in evidence gathering at a digital crime scene is critical for admissibility and prosecution. This paper aims to discuss digital forensics investigations jurisprudence in relation to distributed digital evidence. For the study to be relevant to policy and practice, forensic tools and frameworks, legal and ethical obligations, and digital evidence handling and admissibility are highlighted. This paper does not follow any forensic investigations process; but rather discusses the need for development and implementation of unique frameworks that could be utilised to gather distributed digital evidence required for admissibility in court.

Full textAbstract:
Digital forensics investigations are an important task for collecting evidence based on the artifacts left in computer systems for computer related crimes. The requirements of such investigations are often a neglected aspect in most of the existing models of digital investigations. Therefore, a formal and systematic approach is needed to provide a framework for modeling and reasoning about the requirements of digital investigations. In addition, anti-forensics situations make the forensic investigation process challenging by contaminating any stage of the investigation process, its requirements, or by destroying the evidence. Therefore, successful forensic investigations require understanding the possible anti-forensic issues during the investigation. In this paper, the authors present a new method for guiding digital forensics investigations considering the anti-forensics based on goal-driven requirements engineering methodologies, in particular KAOS. Methodologies like KAOS facilitate modeling and reasoning about goals, requirements and obstacles, as well as their operationalization and responsibility assignments. The authors believe that this new method will lead in the future to better management and organization of the various steps of forensics investigations in cyberspace as well as provide more robust grounds for reasoning about forensic evidence.

Abstract: The internet is expanding at a breakneck pace, as the number of crimes perpetrated using or against computers. The area of computer forensics has arisen in reaction to the rise of computer crime. Computer forensics is the meticulous collection and examination of electronic evidence that not only analyses the damage to a computer because of an electronic attack but also recovers lost data from such a system to convict a criminal. As a result, the standard forensic process that is required after an electronic attack involves collecting evidence from a computer system, analyzing, and presentation of the collected evidence in court. Forensics deals primarily with the recovery and analysis of latent evidence. The growth of digital forensics has substantially increased the requirement for effective tools. There are several tools available today which are used to investigate the OS of a given computer. The purpose of this paper is to compare OS forensics tools by evaluating their ease of use, functionality, performance, and product support and documentation. This research will provide a brief comparative analysis of two widely used OS forensic tools-OSForensics and autopsy based on various contradictory factors.

Cyber crime is becoming more frequent in our daily life since computers are everywhere now and hence the term cyberspace is becoming our ordinary life. Digital forensics or computer forensics which the process of securing digital evidence against the crime is becoming inevitable. Digital evidence is the foundation for any digital forensic investigation that can be collected by several means using technologies and scientific crime scene investigation. Modifications with crime scene data may possibly change the evidences that may lead to different investigation results. Several models and frameworks to help investigating cybercrimes have been proposed. In this paper we are proposing a frame work that to suit the Sudanese judiciary system. The framework suggested studied several models and frameworks in the globe to come out with a suitable framework model that can help the Sudanese courts taking their decisions concerning cybercrime. The conventional chain of custody is our main platform to construct our framework. That is due to fact that computer crime is different from conventional crime in that it may have no definite place or space. Although The share of people in computer crime is more crucial than the technology itself, achieving evidence integrity is more challenging than normal crimes. This work aims to study and evaluate the applicability of existing digital forensic process models to the Sudanese environment, analyze each of these frameworks might and then construct a framework to Sudan courts.

Abstract: Cyber Forensics is termed as scientific methods or applications in association with the judiciary or court of laws. The aim behind these methods is to unveil the digital evidence to be utilized in court for solving crime cases. This sort of technology wasn’t practiced before therefore most criminals tend to urge away with their criminal acts without valid proof to incriminate or prosecute them. During that time the oaths, confessions, testimonies from witnesses were the sole determining factors of evidence Crimes committed within electronic or digital domains, particularly within cyberspace, have become common. Criminals are using technology to commit their offenses and make new challenges for law enforcement agents, attorneys, judges, military, and security professionals. Digital forensics has become a vital instrument in identifying and solving computer-based and computerassisted crime. This paper provides a quick introduction to cyber forensics. During this paper we present a typical model for both Incident Response and Computer Forensics processes which mixes their advantages in an exceedingly flexible way: It allows for a management oriented approach in digital investigations while retaining the chance of a rigorous forensics investigation. Keywords: cyber forensics, digital forensic science, computer forensics, evidence, judicial system.

Digital forensic tools (DFTs) are used to detect the authenticity of digital images. Different DFTs have been developed to detect the forgery like (i) forensic focused operating system, (ii) computer forensics, (iii) memory forensics, (iv) mobile device forensics, and (v) software forensics tools (SFTs). These tools are dedicated to detect the forged images depending on the type of the applications. Based on our review, we found that in literature of the DFTs less attention is given to the evaluation and analysis of the forensic tools. Among various DFTs, we choose SFTs because it is concerned with the detection of the forged digital images. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to classify the different DFTs and evaluate the software forensic tools (SFTs) based on the different features which are present in the SFTs. In our work, we evaluate the following five SFTs, i.e., “FotoForensics”, “JPEGsnoop”, “Ghiro”, “Forensically”, and “Izitru”, based on different features so that new research directions can be identified for the development of the SFTs.

The field of digital forensics has become commonplace due to the increasing prevalence of technology since the late 20th century and the inevitable relevance of this technology in the conducting of criminal activity. In traditional forensics, the evidence is generally something tangible that could identify the criminal, such as hair, blood or fingerprints. In contrast, digital forensics deals with files and data in digital form extracted from digital devices like computers, and phones, among other digital devices, meaning is derived from the fact that a computer or computerised device is the subject or object of crime. In this paper, we explore the challenges faced by the National Identification and Registration Authority (NIRA) digital forensic investigation and develop a process model that enhances the accuracy of digital forensic investigation. We adopted a mixed method approach of research involving qualitative, quantitative and experimental design. The study makes significant findings in areas of enhancement accuracy of digital forensic investigation by enumerating the processes that must be followed. As a recommendation for future work, for purposes of generalisation of the study findings, a wider study involving other security agencies such as the police should be conducted.

Cybercrime and computer-related incidents are becoming more prevalent and common, resulting in billions of dollars in damages. To address these crimes and scams, there is an urgent need to build digital forensics training programme, that will equip relevant professionals to investigate computer crime and events efficiently. There is presently no standard that governs the development of an academic program’s digital forensics curriculum. This study extensively investigates prior work on curriculum design in digital forensics as well as existing computer forensics course offered at the first is the Community College in Buraidah, and the second is the Community College in Unaizah namely, “Cyber Security Diploma” The Cyber Security Diploma is offered in both colleges, the Community College in Buraidah and Unaizah, and the diploma is at the third level of the course “Computer Forensic Analysis,” which is the focus of the research topic. Interviews were conducted with both digital forensic trainers and practitioners, and the findings were examined in order to identify and assess the skills and knowledge required by the industry and law enforcement agencies for their digital forensic examiners. Hands-on training may be delivered by constructing and managing a student laboratory specifically designed for digital forensic examination instruction. A laboratory can be outfitted with a wide range of software solutions, ranging from commercial investigation suites to free command line tools. Similarly, the forensic workstations that execute the software might be supplied by the vendor as stand-alone devices or assembled from separate components in-house. Building and administering a student lab successfully can be a daunting task, but it can also be done on a little budget as long as the focus stays on student achievement.

Abstract: Crimes committed using computers are increasing rapidly, posing a challenge to law enforcement. Investigations including cybercrime, terrorism, and civil litigation all make use of digital forensics today. Because of the ever-increasing sophistication of modern technology, forensic investigations of this sort can quickly become difficult and time-consuming. In order to successfully retrieve meaningful digital evidence during such investigations, however, a standard framework for digital forensic professionals to follow must be developed. All appropriate steps that a digital forensic investigation would take should be highlighted by the framework and methodology used to conduct digital forensics. This study provides a system for conducting digital forensic investigations with an emphasis on the forensic aspects of those probes, the tools and procedures employed by examiners, and the significance of hashing in preventing the manipulation of evidence. Digital forensics, as a whole, is still a field that is widely growing along with the continually advancing world of technology. This form of forensics is one that is also growing in importance and necessity due to crimes stemming from digital devices becoming increasingly popular as well. These steady numbers are what have and will continue to drive the field of digital forensics into meeting its full potential on a consistent basis, in both a preventative and recovering manner. However, in order to recognize this potential, it is important to first understand what digital forensics really entails

Digital forensic methodology deviates significantly relative to the methods of other forensic sciences for numerous practical reasons, and it has been largely influenced by factors derived from the inception and evolution of this relatively new and rapidly changing field. Digital forensics methodology was developed more by practitioners in its early days rather than by computer scientists. This led to accepted best practices in the field that may not represent the best or, at least, tested, science. This paper explores some of these differences in the practice and evolution between digital and other forensic sciences, and recommends scientific approaches to apply to many digital forensic practice rituals.

Considering ontological engineering as the appropriate framework to respond to this requirement, the article presents OntoFoCE (Spanish abbreviation for Ontology for Electronic Mail Forensics), a specific ontology for the forensic analysis of emails. The purpose of this ontology is to help the computer expert in the validation of an email presented as judicial evidence. OntoFoCE is the fundamental component of the ObE Forensics (Ontology-based Email Forensics) tool. Although there are numerous forensic tools to analyze emails, the originality of the one proposed here lies in the implementation of semantic technologies to represent the traceability of the email transmission process. From that point on, it is possible to provide answers to the items of digital evidence subject to the expert examination. These answers make it possible to support these evidence items in the forensic analysis of an email and to guarantee the gathering of scientifically and technically accepted results that are valid for justice. Thus, the research question that is tried to be answered is: Is it possible to apply ontological engineering as a scientific support to design and develop a forensic tool that allows automatic answers to the evidence items subject to the expert examination in the forensic analysis of emails?

Abstract: To identify whether the victim has committed a crime, both criminal and forensic investigators need the help of digital forensics. As a result, an investigator must use an adequate, accurate, affordable, and trustworthy cyber forensic tool for forensics investigations related to crimes. Digital forensics, also known as computer forensic analysis, computer analysis, and computer inspection, is the practise of painstakingly evaluating computer media (hard discs, diskettes, cassettes, and so on) for evidence. A comprehensive inspection by a qualified examiner may result in the reorganisation of a computer's operations. It's a step-by-step technique for investigating crimes utilising digital evidence employing scientific methodologies and processes. While many amazing solutions have been developed to protect our information communication networks, these devices require much more frequent updating. Individuals with both research abilities and a professional grasp of how the internet works, as well as those who know how to examine PC network security problems, are in great demand. This gives an attack-resistant investigative framework, as well as understanding of how the internet operates and the skills to assess cybercrime apparatus to discover who, what, when, why, and how. The study's findings led to the development of Digital Forensic tool solutions for investigators looking to expand their capabilities in using these tools.

Digital forensics is a branch of forensic science concerned with the use of digital information produced, stored and transmitted by computers as source of evidence in investigations and legal proceedings. Digital forensics has existed for as long as computers have stored data that could be used as evidence. For many years, digital forensics was performed primarily by government agencies, but has become common in the commercial sector over the past several years. Originally, much of the analysis software was custom and proprietary and eventually specialized analysis software was made available for both the private and public sectors. The first part of this paper provides a brief overview of digital forensics Process, followed by the models of digital forensics. In the further part of the paper, we consider the need of the “Digital Forensic Investigation Model” which is currently an active area of research in the academic world, which aims to ameliorate procedures followed in this field. At last, we discuss challenges and future scope of digital forensics.

Digital forensics is essentially synonymous with computer forensics, but the term "digital forensics" is generally used for the technical review of all devices that have the ability to store data. Today, digital criminology is challenged in cloud computing. The first problem is to understand why and how criminal and social actions are so unique and complex. The second problem is the lack of accurate scientific tools for forensic medicine in cyberspace. So far, no complete tools or explanations for criminology have been provided in the virtual infrastructure, and no training for security researchers has been provided in detail. Therefore, the author of the present descriptive-analytical research is based on library resources and using fish taking tools. To investigate suspicious cases related to cyberspace, criminologists must be well-equipped with technical and legal issues to deal with. In this article, we analyze digital criminology and its role in judicial law. The benefit of computer forensic knowledge is not only an indispensable necessity for security and judicial institutions, but also professional users and owners of computer systems, systems and networks must be fully aware of and properly comply with its legal and technical requirements.

Computer forensics is an important part of any cybercrime investigation because it allows law enforcement to collect and examine data that can be used to prove a cybercrime. Despite the occasionally justified use of proof, it is frequently met with skepticism and ambiguity in the courts. There is currently a moratorium on the use of untested forensic method in courtroom court cases, it is still difficult to consistently prove the proof obtained through this method. Because of the nature of electronic records and the privacy restrictions that surround them, it is no longer possible to rely solely on the information gathered through this process. The purpose of this article is to discuss current challenges and issues in the field of computer forensics that are impeding scientific validation of digital forensics.

Digital forensics becomes more important in law enforcement, due to the large use of computers and mobile devices. The pattern recognition system most appropriately fits into the Analysis Phase of the Digital Forensics. Pattern Recognition involves two processes. One Process is an analysis and the second process is recognition. The result of the analysis is taken out of the attributes from the patterns to be recognized i.e., a pattern of different faces and fingerprints. These attributes are then utilized for the further process in the analysis phase which provides attention on various techniques of pattern recognition that are applied to digital forensic examinations and is proposed to develop different forensic tools to collect evidence that would be helpful to solve specific types of crimes. This evidence further helps the examiner in the analysis phase of the digital forensic process by identifying the applicable data.

The current capabilities of many law enforcement agencies are tightly constrained despite the heightened level of awareness and concern for the role recent technology has in facilitating cybercrime and instances of online victimization. More specialized computer forensics and digital evidence training programs are necessary to meet the needs of local and state law enforcement agencies. Based on the context, this paper discusses an interdisciplinary approach to addressing this dilemma while providing in-depth computer forensics and cybercrime investigation training that is both informative andpragmatic to future law enforcement officers. Using pre- and post-test results, this study assesses students’ technical background levels, reflecting comprehensive course learning objectives and pre-training levels of applied digital forensic investigation knowledge. Results suggest that students’ technical abilities and knowledge of different investigative tools significantly improved after the program. In particular, the program not only strengthened students’ knowledge of digital forensic investigation, but also helped students achieve higher t-test scores. We expect our study results to provide recommendations for cyber programs in other higher education institutions. The findings will serve as a guide for enhancing the current capacities of other higher education institutions to better serve their students in areas of computer forensics and digital evidence. In the long term, these efforts will lead to more effective cybercrime investigation and successful prosecutions, ultimately reducing cybercrime victimization.

Traditional digital forensics techniques are becoming obsolete due to rapid technological change. Proactive digital forensic investigations (PDFI) solve the challenges of cloud computing forensics such as evidence identification, collection, preservation, and timelining from heterogeneous cumulative data. Cumulative data heterogeneity poses significant challenges to the sound collection of electronically stored information (ESI) or digital evidence across cloud endpoints and/or networked systems. In addition, the distribution of networked systems and/or cloud environments makes it impossible for forensics investigators to be present at several premises to perform the investigation. Hence, it is important to have PDFI in place to ensure continuous operation in the event of a cyberattack, because it does not require the presence of an investigator at the target location. In this study, researchers put the idea of proactive digital forensics to the test and concluded that it is an indispensable tool for networked systems and cloud computing environments in response to modern-day digital forensics challenges. This research was based on an experimental computer science and engineering approach using a virtualised environment simulating an information communication infrastructure. To generate evidence (digital artefacts), and validate the proof-of-concept, adversary emulation was used by adapting the MITRE ATT&CK framework. Research results have shown that PDFI improves digital forensics activities in terms of speed and accuracy, thereby providing credible and timely comprehensive digital evidence. Enhanced Incident detection capabilities enable an analyst to focus much more on forensic investigation functions and thus perform their tasks effectively. However, the legality of live and/or remote forensics is still of great concern in several jurisdictions, thereby affecting the credibility of digital artefacts obtained in this manner. Nevertheless, where possible, the law component should also be kept up to date with modern-day technologies to solve any inconveniences caused by the ever-growing technology demands.

Full textAbstract:
Digital forensics is a new science and follows the rapid changes in the computer environment, expanding into many disciplines, which turns it into a very challenging field that requires the continuous development of methodologies and tools to counter the ever-newer changes in cybercrime. The research subject refers to the analysis and challenges of digital forensics, tracking of hard drives, recovery of deleted files from the hard drive, their quality after recovery, and the possibility of creating forensic images on physically damaged hard drives. The research is based on digital forensics and tracking of all hard drives by creating digital images and analyzing forensic images FTK Imager and Autopsy 4.15.0. The research concludes that the number of files allocated to a forensic image does not play a role in the duration of report generation during the creation of forensic images using FTK Imager. Unlike allocated files, unanalyzed files in a forensic image are directly proportional to the duration of generating reports for forensic images through FTK Imager. Also, in conclusion, it is worth noting that FTK Imager cannot generate a forensic image when the hard drive is physically damaged. This research paper investigates the integral relationship between data security and data recovery even after deletion, highlighting the importance of digital forensics in hard drive security management to protect sensitive information and maintain regulatory compliance, which should also find the right place in education. Educational institutions must balance early education on data permanence and recovery with ensuring students have foundational digital knowledge before introducing complex security concepts.

In recent years, there has been a dramatic change in attitude towards computers and the use of computer resources in general. Cloud and Edge computing have emerged as the most widely used technologies, including fog computing and the Internet of Things (IoT). There are several benefits in exploiting Cloud and Edge computing paradigms, such as lower costs and higher efficiency. It provides data computation and storage where data are processed, enables better data control, faster understanding and actions, and continuous operation. However, though these benefits seem to be appealing, their effects on computer forensics are somewhat undesirable. The complexity of the Cloud and Edge environments and their key features present many technical challenges from multiple stakeholders. This paper seeks to establish an in-depth understanding of the impact of Cloud and Edge computing-based environmental factors. Software and hardware tools used in the digital forensic process, forensic methods for handling tampered sound files, hidden files, image files, or images with steganography, etc. The technical/legal challenges and the open design problems (such as distributed maintenance, multitasking and practicality) highlight the various challenges for the digital forensics process.
