초록

This paper proposes a digital forensic method by an evaluation function based ontimestamp changing patterns. Operations on file or folder leave changed timestamps, whichgive the ways to know what operations were executed. Changes of timestamps of tenoperations of a file and eight operations of a folder were examined. Analyses on the changeson the eight folder operations are newly added in this paper, which are not performed in theprevious works. Based on the timestamps changes of the file and the folder, two evaluationfunctions are proposed. The first evaluation function checks whether timestamps are changedby file and folder operations, and the second evaluation function checks whether timestampsare originated from a source file or other attribute field. By the two output values from theseevaluation functions, a digital forensic investigation on the file or the folder is performed. With some cases, i. e. file copy and folder creation operations, the proposed forensic methodis tested for its usefulness.

Abstract

This paper proposes a digital forensic method by an evaluation function based ontimestamp changing patterns. Operations on file or folder leave changed timestamps, whichgive the ways to know what operations were executed.

Analyses on the changeson the eight folder operations are newly added in this paper, which are not performed in theprevious works. Based on the timestamps changes of the file and the folder, two evaluationfunctions are proposed. The first evaluation function checks whether timestamps are changedby file and folder operations, and the second evaluation function checks whether timestampsare originated from a source file or other attribute field. By the two output values from theseevaluation functions, a digital forensic investigation on the file or the folder is performed. With some cases, i. e. file copy and folder creation operations, the proposed forensic methodis tested for its usefulness.
