  • Forensics steady state
    2014
    Co-Authors: Travis Scarboro
    Abstract:

    After finishing the process of investigating digital evidence on a Forensic Workstation, it is important for law enforcement to use a Forensically sound machine when starting a new investigation. To prevent cross-contamination of remnants between cases, most law enforcement agencies seek to have a controlled operating environment that can be reset to a sterile state which ensures that all remnants of previous cases are not present. The discontinuation of Windows SteadyStateTM has left Forensic investigators without a viable automated solution for ensuring a controlled environment that protects the probative value of digital evidence. This thesis project Forensically validates and modifies an existing open-source SteadyStateTM solution, Forensics Steady State, which will provide law enforcement officers with a viable substitution to other costly products.

  • Learning Android Forensics
    2015
    Co-Authors: Rohit Tamma, Donnie Tindall
    Abstract:

    A hands-on guide to Android Forensics, from setting up the Forensic Workstation to analyzing key Forensic artifacts About This BookA professional, step-by-step approach to Forensic analysis complete with key strategies and techniquesAnalyze the most popular Android applications using free and open source toolsLearn Forensically-sound core data extraction and recovery techniquesWho This Book Is ForIf you are a Forensic analyst or an information security professional wanting to develop your knowledge of Android Forensics, then this is the book for you. Some basic knowledge of the Android mobile platform is expected.What You Will Learn Understand the Android system architecture and its significance for Android Forensics Build a Forensically sound Workstation Utilize ADB to acquire data Bypass Android security such as PINs and passwords Perform both logical and full physical extractions to retrieve data Reverse-engineer applications Analyze data from many popular applications including Gmail, WhatsApp, and Snapchat Discover free and open source tools to aid in data acquisition and analysis In DetailMany Forensic examiners rely on commercial, push-button tools to retrieve and analyze data, even though there is no tool that does either of these jobs perfectly. This book will introduce you to the Android platform and its architecture, and provides a high-level overview of what Android Forensics entails. You will see how data is stored on Android devices and how to set up a digital Forensic examination environment. Next, you will go through the various physical and logical techniques to extract data from devices to obtain Forensic evidence. You will also learn how to reverse-engineer applications and Forensically analyze the data with the help of various open source and commercial tools.By the end of this book, you will have a complete understanding of the Android Forensic process.
