It was discovered that the majority of these tools focus on specific aspects of the search for evidence and ignore others. The purpose of this research was to assess a group of electronic forensic tools related to computers, networks, mobile devices, memory, and email. for that purpose, many digital forensic tools are available now to assist investigators in acquiring evidence using a variety of techniques. In order to stay up with this form of crime, forensic science must create electronic tools to find criminals and gather evidence that may be used in court. As a result, devices, smart phones, and computers are exposed to a variety of cyber attacks because of the data they hold. The equivalent in EnCase would be using the built in view/table to select only relevant items to be included in your report.īut this presumes that you trust the built in EnCase parsers more than you do other tools made to parse a certain artifact.Increased data storage and use in today's environment increases the possibility of data being abused. I've always ended up getting into Excel in some way to search and filter my data, eventually spitting it back out to a subset I can put in a word doc. So just including everything is basically useless. It's essentially a complete record of every finding (including default item parsers like event logs). I think this feature is really meant to be used in court (police) cases, which is probably why I've never used it.
Since the reports are essentially Word documents, you won't be able to filter them either.
With a larger data set you will want to be judicious about what goes in the report, or make multiple smaller reports that you combine later. I understand these artifacts produce a ton of data, but what if that was actually your relevant findings? What good is a tool to make a report that can't actually make one? It probably would have been thousands of pages. And who knows how good those parsers are.
This is probably because it parses event logs and file system journals. I attempted to use v7 to make a report of all artifacts EnCase parses via the case processor module (or whatever v7 calls it) and the report was so huge that it wouldn't even load.
