| dc.description.abstract | Digital forensics is a sub-branch of forensic science which revolves around the acquisition and investigation of information acquired from digital sources, which can often be related to cyber crime. A digital forensic investigation can be associated with a number of scenarios encompassing public and private domains, ranging from evidence related to a civil or criminal case in court to an internal investigation of employees suspected of a data breach within an organization. Understanding the importance of digital forensics has become really important in this day and age with the recent advent of hacking attempts at a number of multinational companies worldwide, whose most prime asset is their data. In addition to safeguarding their sensitive data from being maltreated, companies are also bound to a host of state, local and federal rules and regulations when it comes to preservation of data. This document is a possible representation of investigative approaches adopted by digital forensic engineers to analyze data that is acquired as part of a forensic investigation. A data set of a suspected machine along with a couple of removable storage devices and a cloud storage provider that were used in a data leakage case will be analyzed using a plethora of forensic analysis tools ranging from file carvers, email retrievers to database restoration techniques, to name a few. | en_US |
