This is the Forensics Wiki, a Creative Commons-licensed wiki devoted to information about digital forensics (also known as computer forensics). We currently list a total of 863 pages.
Much of computer forensics is focused on the tools and techniques used by investigators, but there are also a number of important papers, people, and organizations involved. Many of those organizations sponsor conferences throughout the year and around the world. You may also wish to examine the popular journals and some special reports.

Featured Forensic ResearchJune 2013 Gessiou, E., Volanis, S., Athanasopoulos, E., Markatos, E.P., Ioannidis, S. - Digging up social structures from documents on the web
We collected more than ten million Microsoft Office documents from public websites, analyzed the metadata stored in each document and extracted information related to social activities. Our analysis revealed the existence of exactly identified cliques of users that edit, revise and collaborate on industrial and military content. We also examined cliques in documents downloaded from Fortune-500 company websites. We constructed their graphs and measured their properties. The graphs contained many connected components and presented social properties. The a priori knowledge of a company's social graph may significantly assist an adversary to launch targeted attacks, such as targeted advertisements and phishing emails. Our study demonstrates the privacy risks associated with metadata by cross-correlating all members identified in a clique with users of Twitter. We show that it is possible to match authors collaborating in the creation of a document with Twitter accounts. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first to identify individuals and create social cliques solely based on information derived from document metadata. Our study raises major concerns about the risks involved in privacy leakage due to document metadata. http://cis.poly.edu/~gessiou/reports/metadata.pdf (See also Past Selected Articles) |
