Abstract

This paper discusses key challenges and methods in computer forensics and presents a comparative analysis of forensic software tools FTK, Autopsy, The Sleuth Kit TSK, TestDisk and Foremost. The instruments considered in the study are applied in different case studies to collect, analyze and preserve digital evidence available for computer forensics, cybersecurity and cloud-based investigations. The research discusses their effectiveness and limitations in handling cloud-based evidence collection.
