Development of an Open Source Tool and a Multi-Platform for Generation of Forensic Reports

Abstract

Computer Forensics is a science that is part of computer security and focuses on identifying, preserving, analyzing and presenting electronic evidence that has been found on a device. This process has to be thoroughly documented by the expert who carries it out, and must be adapted to standards such as UNE 197010:2015 or ISO/IEC 27042:2015. However, there are no tools to facilitate this task. Therefore, in this work, a multiplatform and open source tool is developed to facilitate the expert’s elaboration of the report, and the management of the documentation related to the case, while keeping this information safe.
