Windows Surface Rt Tablet Forensics, Asif Iqbal, Hanan Al Obaidli, Andrew Marrington, Andy Jones Jan 2014

Windows Surface Rt Tablet Forensics, Asif Iqbal, Hanan Al Obaidli, Andrew Marrington, Andy Jones

All Works

Small scale digital device forensics is particularly critical as a result of the mobility of these devices, leading to closer proximity to crimes as they occur when compared to computers. The Windows Surface tablet is one such device, combining tablet mobility with familiar Microsoft Windows productivity tools. This research considers the acquisition and forensic analysis of the Windows Surface RT tablet. We discuss the artifacts of both the Windows RT operating system and third-party applications. The contribution of this research is to provide a road map for the digital forensic examination of Windows Surface RT tablets.

Video game consoles can no longer be viewed as just gaming consoles but rather as full multimedia machines, capable of desktop computer-like performance. The past has shown that game consoles have been used in criminal activities such as extortion, identity theft, and child pornography, but with their ever-increasing capabilities, the likelihood of the expansion of criminal activities conducted on or over the consoles increases. This research aimed to take the initial step of understanding the Xbox One, the most powerful Microsoft console to date. We report the outcome of conducting a forensic examination of the Xbox One, and we provide …


Testing The Forensic Soundness Of Forensic Examination Environments On Bootable Media, Ahmed Fathy Abdul Latif Mohamed, Andrew Marrington, Farkhund Iqbal, Ibrahim Baggili Jan 2014

Testing The Forensic Soundness Of Forensic Examination Environments On Bootable Media, Ahmed Fathy Abdul Latif Mohamed, Andrew Marrington, Farkhund Iqbal, Ibrahim Baggili

All Works

In this work we experimentally examine the forensic soundness of the use of forensic bootable CD/DVDs as forensic examination environments. Several Linux distributions with bootable CD/DVDs which are marketed as forensic examination environments are used to perform a forensic analysis of a captured computer system. Before and after the bootable CD/DVD examination, the computer system's hard disk is removed and a forensic image acquired by a second system using a hardware write blocker. The images acquired before and after the bootable CD/DVD examination are hashed and the hash values compared. Where the hash values are inconsistent, a differential analysis is …


Ensemble Artifact Design For Context Sensitive Decision Support, Shah Jahan Miah, John G. Gammack Jan 2014

Ensemble Artifact Design For Context Sensitive Decision Support, Shah Jahan Miah, John G. Gammack

All Works

Although an improvement of design knowledge is an essential goal of design research, current design research predominantly focuses on knowledge concerning the IT artifact (tool) design process, rather than a more holistic understanding encompassing the dynamic usage contexts of a technological artifact. Conceptualising a design in context as an "ensemble artifact" (Sein et al., 2011) provides the basis for a more rigorous treatment. This paper describes an IS artifact design framework that has been generated from the development of several practitioner-oriented decision support systems (DSS) in which contextual aspects relevant to practitioners' decision making are considered as integral design themes. …
