    Chapter Computer Hardware ENCE EXAM TOPICS COVERED IN 1 THIS CHAPTER: ✓ Computer hardware components ✓ The boot process ✓ Partitions ✓ File systems COPYRIGHTED MATERIAL Computer forensics examiners deal most often with the media on which evidentiary data is stored. This includes, but is not lim- ited to, hard drives, CDs, DVDs, fl ash memory devices, smart phones, tablets, and even legacy fl oppies and tapes. Although these devices might be the bane of the examiner’s existence, media devices don’t exist in a void, and knowledge of a computer’s various components and functions is a must for the competent examiner. As an examiner, you may be called upon to explain how a computer functions to a jury. Doing so requires you know a computer’s function from a technical standpoint and that you can translate those technical concepts into real-world, easy-to-understand terms. As an examiner, you may also be subjected to a voir dire examination by opposing coun- sel to challenge your competence to testify. Acronyms are hardly in short supply in the fi eld of computing—some well-known and meaningful, others more obscure. Imagine being asked during such an examination to explain several of the common acronyms used with computers, such as RAM, CMOS, SCSI, BIOS, and POST. If you were to draw a blank on some obscure or even common acronym, picture its impact on your credibility. Some acronyms are difficult to remember because their meaning is often obscure or meaningless. A good example is TWAIN, which stands for T ech- nology W ithout a n I nteresting N ame.

Each vendor has a separate directory storing its own boot loader code and configuraon files in the ESP (EFI System Par--on).

It is, however, supported for compatibility reasons by Full name File Allocation Table: nearly all currently developed operating systems for personal computers and FAT12 (12- many home computers, mobile devices and embedded systems, and thus is a bit version), well suited format for data exchange between computers and devices of almost FAT16 (16- any type and age from 1981 through the present. bit versions), Originally designed in 1977 for use on floppy disks, FAT was soon adapted and FAT32 (32-bit version used almost universally on hard disks throughout the DOS and Windows 9x with 28 bits used), eras for two decades. Today, FAT file systems are still commonly found on exFAT (64- floppy disks, USB sticks, flash and other solid-state memory cards and bit versions) modules, and many portable and embedded devices.

  • Chapter 20 ADVANCED AUTOMATED DISK
    Chapter 20 ADVANCED AUTOMATED DISK INVESTIGATION TOOLKIT Umit Karabiyik and Sudhir Aggarwal Abstract Open source software tools designed for disk analysis play a critical role in digital forensic investigations. The tools typically are onerous to use and rely on expertise in investigative techniques and disk struc- tures. Previous research presented the design and initial development of a toolkit that can be used as an automated assistant in forensic in- vestigations. This chapter builds on the previous work and presents an advanced automated disk investigation toolkit (AUDIT) that leverages a dynamic knowledge base and database. AUDIT has new reporting and inference functionality. It facilitates the investigative process by han- dling core information technology expertise, including the choice and operational sequence of tools and their configurations. The ability of AUDIT to serve as an intelligent digital assistant is evaluated using a series of tests that compare it against standard benchmark disk images and examine the support it provides to human investigators. Keywords: Digital forensics, disk investigation toolkit, expert systems 1. Introduction Forensic investigations of disks are challenging because of the wide va- riety of available tools. Existing commercial and open source tools must be considered and new tools are constantly being released. Investigators are expected to know how to use and configure these tools and they are required to have a fair degree of information technology expertise. They must also have considerable knowledge about the technical details of each new disk type, filesystem and the locations on the disk where information could be hidden. This chapter builds on previous work on tool development [10] and presents an advanced automated disk investigation toolkit (AUDIT) that has been substantially improved and that leverages a dynamic knowl- c IFIP International Federation for Information Processing 2016 Published by Springer International Publishing AG 2016.
