“…Emphasizing on the need for accurate and reliable forensic tools and procedures, there was a warning against unfair application of wrong forensic techniques and evidence to secure conviction in fervour of the prosecution (53). Notably, some challenging areas include "erroneous allegations of knowledgeable possession, misuse of time stamps and metadata, control and observation of the discovery process".…”

“…Notably, some challenging areas include "erroneous allegations of knowledgeable possession, misuse of time stamps and metadata, control and observation of the discovery process". Other challenging areas include "authentication issues, deficiencies and the lack of verification for proprietary software tools, deliberate omission or obfuscation of exculpatory evidence and inadvertent risks resulting from the use of legitimate services" (53).…”

Abstract-Recovering deleted or hidden data is among most important duties of forensics investigators. Extensive utilisation of smartphones as subject, objects or tools of crime made them an important part of residual forensics. This chapter investigates the effectiveness of mobile forensic data recovery tools in recovering evidences from a Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 Android phone. We seek to determine the amount of data that could be recovered using Phone image carver, Access data FTK, Foremost, Diskdigger, and Recover My File forensic tools. The findings reflected the difference between recovery capacities of studied tools showing their suitability in their specialised contexts only.

“…According to Mercuri , digital forensic techniques may be unfairly applied to tip the scales of justice in the direction of prosecution. Burgess also states that in the field of digital forensics (as in the field of law), procedures in civil cases differ somewhat from those in criminal cases.…”

Since its inception, over a decade ago, the field of digital forensics has faced numerous challenges. Despite different researchers and digital forensic practitioners having studied and analysed various known digital forensic challenges, as of 2013, there still exists a need for a formal classification of these challenges. This paper, therefore, reviews existing research literature and highlights the various challenges that digital forensics has faced for the last ten years. In conducting this research study, however, it was difficult for the authors to review all the existing research literature in the digital forensic domain, hence, sampling and randomisation techniques were employed to facilitate the review of the gathered literature. Taxonomy of the various challenges is subsequently proposed in this paper based on our review of the literature. The taxonomy classifies the large number of digital forensic challenges into four welldefined and easily understood categories. The proposed taxonomy can be useful, for example, in future developments of automated digital forensic tools by explicitly describing processes and procedures that focus on addressing specific challenges identified in this paper. However, it should also be noted that the purpose of this paper is not to propose any solutions to the individual challenges that digital forensics face, but to serve as a survey of the state of the art of the research area.

“…Las más potentes y fiables son las comerciales FTK y Encase Forensic. Su uso es aceptado para la creación de evidencias digitales admitidas en tribunales de justicia (Mercuri, 2010). Otra opción es la gratuita en código abierto Autopsy, que forma parte de la biblioteca de herramientas forenses The Sleuth Kit.…”

ResumenLas técnicas de análisis forense digital, de aplicación en investigación criminal, también se pueden usar en las bibliotecas para acceder a información digital almacenada en soportes o formatos obsoletos. Se analizan distintos ejemplos de departamentos de análisis forense creados por bibliotecas y se describen los elementos de hardware y software mínimos con los que se podría montar una unidad de análisis forense en cualquier biblioteca. Con este fin se presentan dos posibles configuraciones de equipamiento y se dan recomendaciones sobre organización del flujo de trabajo para la recuperación de antiguos discos duros y disquetes. Palabras clavePreservación digital; Análisis forense digital; Archivos personales; Bibliotecas; Hardware; Software. Title: Creating forensic units in libraries AbstractForensic analysis techniques, usually applied in criminal research, could also be used in libraries to access digital information stored in obsolete formats or storage devices. This article analyses some examples of forensic research departments created by libraries, and describes the minimal hardware and software elements required to set up a library unit specialized in forensic analysis. Two possible equipment settings are introduced and recommendations are given on how to organize a workflow to recover information stored in floppy disks, diskettes and old hard drives.
