Application of the Python programming language in computer forensics

  • 1 Nikola Vaptsarov Naval Academy, Varna, Bulgaria

Abstract

This paper presents the application of Python in computer forensics, proposing various approaches for file system analysis, memory forensics, network monitoring, and malware detection. It examines Python’s integration with forensic tools such as Autopsy, The Sleuth Kit (TSK), Volatility, and Scapy, highlighting its role in automating forensic investigations and enhancing efficiency. The research discusses the advantages of Python in forensic analysis, emphasizing its role in forensic automation, script-based evidence collection, and rapid data processing within various case studies.
