Fast Forensic Triage Using Centralised Thumbnail Caches On Windows Operating Systems, Sean Mckeown, Gordon Russell, Petra Leimich
Fast Forensic Triage Using Centralised Thumbnail Caches On Windows Operating Systems, Sean Mckeown, Gordon Russell, Petra Leimich
Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law
A common investigative task is to identify known contraband images on a device, which typically involves calculating cryptographic hashes for all the files on a disk and checking these against a database of known contraband. However, modern drives are now so large that it can take several hours just to read this data from the disk, and can contribute to the large investigative backlogs suffered by many law enforcement bodies. Digital forensic triage techniques may thus be used to prioritise evidence and effect faster investigation turnarounds. This paper proposes a new forensic triage method for investigating disk evidence relating to …

Memoryranger Prevents Highjacking File_Object Structures In Windows Kernel, Igor Korkin
Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law
Windows OS kernel memory is one of the main targets of cyber-attacks. By launching such attacks, hackers are succeeding in process privilege escalation and tampering users’ data by accessing kernel-mode memory. This paper considers a new example of such an attack, which results in access to the files opened in an exclusive mode. Windows built-in security features prevent such a legal access, but attackers can circumvent them by patching dynamically allocated objects. The research shows that the newest Windows 10 x64 is vulnerable to this attack. The paper provides an example of using MemoryRanger, a hypervisor- based solution to prevent …
Improved Decay Tolerant Inference Of Previously Uninstalled Computer Applications, Oluwaseun Adegbehingbe, James Jones
Improved Decay Tolerant Inference Of Previously Uninstalled Computer Applications, Oluwaseun Adegbehingbe, James Jones
Journal of Digital Forensics, Security and Law
When an application is uninstalled from a computer system, the application’s deleted file contents are overwritten over time, depending on factors such as operating system, available unallocated disk space, user activity, etc. As this content decays, the ability to infer the application’s prior presence, based on the remaining digital artifacts, becomes more difficult. Prior research inferring previously installed applications by matching sectors from a hard disk of interest to a previously constructed catalog of labeled sector hashes showed promising results. This prior work used a white list approach to identify relevant artifacts, resulting in no irrelevant artifacts but incurring the …
