Abstract—With the rapid advancements in information and communication technology in the world, crimes committed are becoming technically intensive. When crimes committed use digital devices, forensic examiners have to adopt practical frameworks and methods to recover data for analysis which can pose as evidence. Data Generation, Data Warehousing and Data Mining, are the three essential features involved in the investigation process. This paper proposes a unique way of generating, storing and analyzing data, retrieved from digital devices which pose as evidence in forensic analysis. A statistical approach is used in validating the reliability of the pre-processed data. This work proposes a practical framework for digital forensics on flash drives.
Index Terms—Digital Forensic, Flash Drive, Framework, Data Preprocessing.
