A preliminary design for digital forensics analysis of terabyte size data sets

Published: 11 March 2007 Publication History

Abstract

Digital forensics is computationally intensive and current analysis systems do not handle the multiple terabyte size data sets that are now becoming a major issue for analysis. For these data sets, RAID file system analysis, parallel computing, collaboration, and visualization will be essential. Here we outline the preliminary design for a parallel digital forensics framework that is being developed to handle multiple terabyte size data set analysis.
