Abstract:

Computers play a vital role in the automation of tedious tasks in our everyday lives. With the adoption of the advances in technology, there is a significant increase in the exploitation of security vulnerabilities, particularly in Windows computing environments. These exploitations are mostly carried out by malicious software (malware). Ransomware, a variant of malware which encrypts user files and retains the decryption key for ransom. Ransomware has shown its dominance over the years wreaking havoc to many organizations and users. This global digital epidemic is continuously on the r

Abstract:

Identifying the needs for building and managing Digital Forensics Capability (DFC) are important because these can help organisations to stay abreast of criminal’s activities and challenging pace of technological advancement. The field of Digital Forensics (DF) is witnessing rapid development in investigation procedures, tools used, and the types of digital evidence. However, several research publications confirm that a unified standard for building and managing DF capability does not exit. Therefore, this thesis identifies, documents, and analyses existing DF frameworks and the attitudes of o

The explosive growth in technology has led to a new league of a crime involving identity theft, stealing trade secrets, malicious virus attacks, hacking of DVD players, etc. The law enforcement community which has been trained to deal with traditional form of crime, is now being trained in a new realm of Digital Forensics. Forensics investigators have realized that often the most valuable resource available to them is experience and knowledge of fellow investigators. But there is seldom an explicit mechanism for disseminating this knowledge. Hence the same problems and mistakes contin

Abstract:

Digital forensics is the science concerned with discovering, preserving, and analyzing evidence on digital devices. The intent is to be able to determine what events have taken place, when they occurred, who performed them, and how they were performed. In order for an investigation to be effective, it must exhibit several characteristics. The results produced must be reliable, or else the theory of events based on the results will be flawed. The investigation must be comprehensive, meaning that it must analyze all targets which may contain evidence of forensic interest. Since any investi

The fast capacity growth of cheap storage devices presents an ever-growing problem of scale for digital forensic investigations. One aspect of scale problem in the forensic process is the need for new approaches to visually presenting and analyzing large amounts of data. Current generation of tools universally employ three basic GUI components—trees, tables, and viewers—to present all relevant information. This approach is not scalable as increasing the size of the input data leads to a proportional increase in the amount of data presented to the analyst. We present an alternative approach, wh

Abstract:

I moderna bilar lagras ofta data från användaren av bilen då en mobiltelefon eller annan enhet parkopplas genom Bluetooth- eller USB-anslutning. I de fall dessa data innehåller personuppgifter kan de vara intressanta i en utredning samt vara värda att skydda ur ett integritetsperspektiv. Vad händer med dessa data då bilen skrotas? När en bil skrotas monteras den ner och de delar som går att tjäna pengar på säljs av bildemonteringsföretaget. Det kan gälla allt från stötdämpare, hjul och rattar, till elektroniska komponenter och multimediaenheter. I detta arbete utvanns personuppgifter ur tre så

Abstract:

Anti Virus (AV) software generally employs signature matching and heuristics to detect the presence of malicious software (malware). The generation of signatures and determination of heuristics is dependent upon an AV analyst having successfully determined the nature of the malware, not only for recognition purposes, but also for the determination of infected files and startup mechanisms that need to be removed as part of the disinfection process. If a specimen of malware has not been previously extensively analyzed, it is unlikely to be detected by AV software. In addition, malware is becomin

Abstract:

Digital forensics has become an increasingly important tool in the fight against cyber and computer-assisted crime. However, with an increasing range of technologies at people's disposal, investigators find themselves having to process and analyse many systems with large volumes of data (e.g., PCs, laptops, tablets, and smartphones) within a single case. Unfortunately, current digital forensic tools operate in an isolated manner, investigating systems and applications individually. The heterogeneity and volume of evidence place time constraints and a significant burden on investigators. Exampl

Abstract:

Cloud computing is gaining acceptance and also increasing in popularity. Organisations often rely on cloud resources as an effective replacement for their `in-house' computer systems. In the cloud, virtual resources are provided from a larger pool of resources, these resources being available to multiple different clients. When something suspicious happens within a digital environment, a digital forensic investigation may be conducted to gather information about the event. When conducting such an investigation digital forensic procedures are followed. These procedures involve the ste

Abstract:

Background: Digital forensics is a rapidly expanding field, due to the continuing advances in computer technology and increases in data stage capabilities of devices. However, the tools supporting digital forensics investigations have not kept pace with this evolution, often leaving the investigator to analyse large volumes of textual data and rely heavily on their own intuition and experience. Aim: This research proposes that given the ability of information visualisation to provide an end user with an intuitive way to rapidly analyse large volumes of complex data, such approached could be ap

Abstract:

The digitalization of society has contributed to a more convenient lifestyle for the Swedishpopulation. Our everyday life includes digital technology that saves information about us and our actions from digital devices. Collected digital information can be admissible as evidence in a legal process. Despite the increase in crimes involving IT, Sweden seems to lack an official description for the concept of digital evidence. The purpose of this report is to propound two definitions: one for the general public and one more suitable for specific technical usage by people in the field. This report

Abstract:

Digital forensics is the practice of trained investigators gathering and analyzing evidence from digital devices such as computers and smart phones. On these digital devices, it is possible to change the time on the device for a purpose other than what is intended. Currently there are no documented techniques to determine when this occurs. This research seeks to prove out a technique for determining when the time has been changed on forensic disk image by analyzing the log files found on the image. Out of this research a tool is created to perform this analysis in automated fashion. This tool

Abstract:

The main goal of this research is to investigate prioritization process in digital forensics departments in law enforcement organizations. This research is motivated by the fact that case prioritisation plays crucial role to achieve efficient operations in digital forensics departments. Recent years have witnessed the widespread use of digital devices in every aspect of human life, around the globe. One of these aspects is crime. These devices have became an essential part of every investigation in almost all cases handled by police. The reason behind their importance lies in their ability to
