Types of Computer Forensic Technology Types of Computer Forensic Technology Computer forensic technology includes various tools and techniques used to investigate, recover, and analyze digital evidence. These technologies help in solving cybercrimes, legal disputes, and data breaches. 1. Disk Forensics Focuses on examining hard drives, SSDs, and external storage. Recovers deleted, hidden, or encrypted files. Tools: EnCase, FTK (Forensic Toolkit), Autopsy. OPERATING SYSTEM FORENSICS
Types of Computer Forensic Technology 2. Network Forensics Monitors and analyzes network traffic for security breaches. Helps track hackers, data leaks, and cyberattacks. Tools: Wireshark, Splunk, Xplico. 3. Memory Forensics (Live Forensics) Examines RAM and volatile memory for real-time evidence. Recovers running processes, passwords, and malware traces. Tools: Volatility, Rekall, DumpIt. OPERATING SYSTEM FORENSICS
Types of Computer Forensic Technology 4. Mobile Device Forensics Extracts data from smartphones, tablets, and wearable devices. Recovers call logs, messages, GPS data, and app activity. Tools: Cellebrite UFED, MOBILedit, Oxygen Forensics. 5. Cloud Forensics Investigates data stored on cloud platforms like Google Drive, AWS, and OneDrive. Requires legal authorization for remote data access. OPERATING SYSTEM FORENSICS
Types of Computer Forensic Technology 6. Email Forensics Examines email headers, attachments, and metadata. Detects phishing attacks, fraud, and insider threats. Tools: MailXaminer, Paraben Email Examiner. 7. Database Forensics Investigates SQL, NoSQL, and cloud databases for tampering or fraud. Recovers deleted records and transaction logs. Tools: Oracle Audit Vault, ApexSQL Audit. OPERATING SYSTEM FORENSICS
Types of Computer Forensic Technology 8. Malware Forensics Identifies and analyzes malicious software (viruses, trojans, ransomware). Helps in cybersecurity threat detection. Tools: IDA Pro, Cuckoo Sandbox, VirusTotal. 9. IoT Forensics Examines Internet of Things (IoT) devices like smart cameras, wearables, and smart home devices. Investigates security vulnerabilities and unauthorized access. Tools: IoTA, FTK Imager, Autopsy. OPERATING SYSTEM FORENSICS
