Visual Computer Forensic Analysis

Computer forensics is a slow process. Examiners typically embark on a tedious file review process to determine each file’s relevance to a particular case. This can quickly add hours and extra costs to computer forensics. However, recent research presented at the Black Hat 2008 conference in Las Vegas may curb that trend. Researchers Greg Conti and Erik Dean from the United States Military Academy, West Point, adapted a new concept to computer forensics: visualization. The researchers demonstrated how visual computer forensic methods can dramatically reduce the time it takes to review files…
