Chain of Custody – Digital Forensics

  Chain of Custody – Digital Forensics Chain of Custody refers to the logical sequence that records the sequence of custody, control, transfer, analysis and disposition of physical or electronic evidence in legal cases. Each step in the chain is essential as if broke, the evidence may be rendered inadmissible. Thus we can say that preserving the chain of custody is about following the correct and consistent procedure and hence ensuring the quality of evidence. The chain of custody in digital cyber forensics is also known as the paper trail or forensic link, or chronological documentation of the evidence. ·         Chain of custody indicates the collection, sequence of control, transfer and analysis. ·         It also documents details of each person who handled the evidence, date and time it was collected or transferred, and the purpose of the transfer. ·         It de...

Part 1: Introduction to Computer Forensics for Windows

  Part 1: Introduction to Computer Forensics for Windows: https://tryhackme.com/room/windowsforensics1 Microsoft Windows is by large the most used Desktop Operating System right now. Private users and Enterprises prefer it, and it currently holds roughly 80% of the Desktop market share. This means that it is important to know how to perform forensic analysis on Microsoft Windows for someone interested in Digital Forensics. In this module, we will learn about the different ways we can gather forensic data from the Windows Registry and make conclusions about the activity performed on a Windows system based on this data. In computer forensics, forensic artifacts can be small footprints of activity left on the computer system. On a Windows system, a person's actions can be traced back quite accurately using computer forensics because of the various artifacts a Windows system creates for a given activity. These artifacts often reside in locations 'normal' users won't t...

Step 2 : Collection & Preservation of evidence

Step 2 :  Collection  & Preservation of evidence   The collecting process in digital forensics is a critical phase of the investigation. It involves the systematic and careful acquisition of digital data from electronic devices or storage media in a manner that preserves the integrity and authenticity of the evidence. The following are the steps involved in the collecting process: Collection : This step involves the actual acquisition of the data from the device or storage media. This can be done by using a variety of techniques, including   Imaging : The first step in the collection process is to create a forensic image of the digital device or media that is being investigated. This involves creating an exact copy of the device or media, including all data, file systems, and metadata. The imaging process ensures that the original evidence is preserved and can be examined without altering it.  Live analysis: In some cases, it may be necessary to conduct...
