Download or read book File System Forensic Analysis written by Brian Carrier and published by Addison-Wesley Professional. This book was released on 2005-03-17 with total page 895 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Definitive Guide to File System Analysis: Key Concepts and Hands-on Techniques Most digital evidence is stored within the computer's file system, but understanding how file systems work is one of the most technically challenging concepts for a digital investigator because there exists little documentation. Now, security expert Brian Carrier has written the definitive reference for everyone who wants to understand and be able to testify about how file system analysis is performed. Carrier begins with an overview of investigation and computer foundations and then gives an authoritative, comprehensive, and illustrated overview of contemporary volume and file systems: Crucial information for discovering hidden evidence, recovering deleted data, and validating your tools. Along the way, he describes data structures, analyzes example disk images, provides advanced investigation scenarios, and uses today's most valuable open source file system analysis tools—including tools he personally developed. Coverage includes Preserving the digital crime scene and duplicating hard disks for "dead analysis" Identifying hidden data on a disk's Host Protected Area (HPA) Reading source data: Direct versus BIOS access, dead versus live acquisition, error handling, and more Analyzing DOS, Apple, and GPT partitions; BSD disk labels; and Sun Volume Table of Contents using key concepts, data structures, and specific techniques Analyzing the contents of multiple disk volumes, such as RAID and disk spanning Analyzing FAT, NTFS, Ext2, Ext3, UFS1, and UFS2 file systems using key concepts, data structures, and specific techniques Finding evidence: File metadata, recovery of deleted files, data hiding locations, and more Using The Sleuth Kit (TSK), Autopsy Forensic Browser, and related open source tools When it comes to file system analysis, no other book offers this much detail or expertise. Whether you're a digital forensics specialist, incident response team member, law enforcement officer, corporate security specialist, or auditor, this book will become an indispensable resource for forensic investigations, no matter what analysis tools you use.

Download or read book File Systems written by Thomas R. Harbron and published by . This book was released on 1988 with total page 286 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is intended as a textbook for a one-semester course in file systems. The course is similar in content to the ACM curriculum '78 course CS 5, but differs in that a course in data structures is assumed as a prerequisite. Many of the standard topics of a data structures course are either directly applicable to file system problems, or are very similar to the structures and algorithms used in file systems, making a good foundation for the study of files. A data structure is defined, then algorithms and applications are discovered that are appropriate to the structure. File systems is a natural extension of data structures both in subject matter and methods.
Download or read book Forensic Examination of Windows Supported File Systems written by Doug Elrick and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-03-21 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Understanding the underlying system of how files are stored, what happens when they are deleted, and how to potentially recover them is essential to the digital forensic examiner. Today's computer forensic tools automate the process of file recovery, but understanding what those tools are accomplishing and knowing whether they are providing accurate results requires an understanding of the information provided in this text. The FAT and NTFS file systems are the most commonly utilized information storage methods and while there are many other methods available, concentrating on these two lays the foundation for learning the others in the future. A brief introduction of ExFAT is included, as it is a relatively new file system used with larger flash drives. Forensic Examination of Windows-Supported File Systems will provide the basis for this knowledge and the practical expertise to begin the journey of becoming a digital forensic scientist.

Download or read book ExFAT and FAT File Systems Internals written by Dr Keshava Munegowda and published by . This book was released on 2021-05-06 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The main focus of this book is to introduce the internals of ExFAT File system to the reader and also to compare with the internals of the TexFAT File system in depth. But, as a prerequisite to cover the essential file system details, this Book starts with introduction of the internals of FAT series file systems such as FAT 12, FAT16 and FAT32. These FAT series file systems are compared with each other in terms of features and limitations and then this book covers the internal details of the ExFAT File system and its differentiating features with respect to the FAT32 File system. The Transactional features of TFAT and TexFAT File systems are also discussed in detail. This book also discusses how to optimize the FAT and ExFAT File systems for SSDs (Solid State Drives). The data structures used to represent files/directories and the algorithms used to manage file system operations of FAT series file systems, ExFAT, TFAT and TexFAT File systems are explained in detail. The snapshots of on-disk structures of files, directories and data of the files/directories are also given along with explanations so that readers will get the feel of exact internals of how the files/directories are represented and how the on-disk updates are performed by the file system operations. Even though the FAT file system is available since the HDDs (Hard Disk Drives) era and the specification of FAT File system is available, But, in this book, the reader may find the FAT file system explanation with respect to SSDs. The example scenarios of the FAT File system data corruptions are also demonstrated. The on-disk layout snapshots of FAT and other file systems help the reader to understand the file systems internals easily.This book is written with the assumption that the reader need not have any file system knowledge as a prerequisite. Intended audience for this book are computer and information science beginners / students, computer and Information technology (IT) professionals working on file systems of HDD / SSDs / Flash memories and the professionals who are interested in doing forensic analysis on-disk file system patterns on storage devices.
