Cyber-crimes in the present world are rising in a manifold manner. So are the challenges faced by cyber forensic investigators to collect evidence and prove the crime. Current techniques rely heavily on live analysis, but is possible only when the machine is on. Use of any online cyber-crime footprints obtained from the non-volatile part of the digital equipment (from the chain of custody) will make the process of proving an online cyber-crime highly efficient. Here we propose a new log based scheme, which uses details from web browser and stores the information securely in slack spaces of the hard disk. These files, even in enciphered form, can be recovered for further investigations and proving the online criminal activity. Since the log files are stored in non-volatile memory, the retrieval and analysis of log files can be done without any loss of data, in linear time. Thus it overcomes the shortcomings of existing methodologies.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
