Exploring the Landscape of Operating System Forensics: An In-Depth Evaluation
Main Article Content
Abstract
The rapid expansion of the internet has ushered in a surge in cybercrimes, both those perpetrated using computers and those targeting computer systems. In response to this growing threat, the field of computer forensics has emerged. Computer forensics involves the systematic collection and analysis of electronic evidence, encompassing not only the assessment of computer damage resulting from electronic attacks but also the recovery of lost data critical in convicting wrongdoers. Consequently, the standard forensic procedure following an electronic attack encompasses evidence collection, analysis, and the presentation of findings in a court of law. Emphasizing the recovery and examination of latent evidence, digital forensics has fueled the demand for effective tools. Numerous tools are currently available for examining the operating system (OS) of a computer. This paper aims to compare these OS forensics tools by evaluating their usability, functionality, performance, and the quality of product support and documentation. The research will offer a comprehensive comparative analysis of two prominent OS forensic tools, OSForensics and Autopsy, based on diverse, contrasting factors.
