Artifact; Maggots; Pellets; Shotgun wound Abstract: Forensic medicine specialists use their expertise to identify artifacts and avoid its misinterpretation. This is vital in carrying out justice as any misinterpretation of findings can derail the investigation. We report a case where an artifact resembled a firearm/shotgun injury that raised a suspicion of an alleged homicide. a 2014 The Intern...

Hardware forensic analysis involves the process of analyzing digital evidence derived from digital sources. The analysis is done to facilitate and prove either the device is used to commit crime, whether it contains evidence of a crime or is the target of a crime. Gambling machines serve as the main source by which illegal games are conducted. This paper presents a method for retrieving informa...

In this era of digital computing, peoples are used to represent the information that they want to convey in visual forms. Representing in visual forms rather than in pure text form make them more understandable. Digital camera images are used in several important applications in the recent decades. But with widespread availability of image processing and editing software make the integrity of d...

Live digital forensics presents unique challenges with respect to maintaining forensic soundness, but also offers the ability to examine information that is unavailable to quiescent analysis. Any perturbation of a live operating system by a forensic examiner will have far-reaching effects on the state of the system being analysed. Numerous approaches to live digital forensic evidence acquisitio...

A Forensic Image is a is often accompanied by a calculated Hash signature to validate that the image is an exact duplicate of the original which is mainly focus on detection of artifacts introduced by single processing tool. Hence making it necessary for developing several for detection of artifacts. It is by introducing theoretical frameworks, based on Dempster-Shafer’s Theory of Evidence, Fuz...

With the growth of Personal Digital Assistants (PDA), pocket-sized digital music players and smart phones the need for digital forensic tools that can acquire and analyse these devices has also been growing. PDD is a utility designed to acquire images of the memory of Palm OS based PDAs for forensic analysis. The use of volatile Random Access Memory (RAM) by Palm PDAs can have an effect on fore...

Forensically sound” is a term used extensively in the digital forensics community to qualify and, in some cases, to justify the use of a particular forensic technology or methodology. Indeed, many practitioners use the term when describing the capabilities of a particular piece of software or when describing a particular forensic analysis approach. Such a wide application of the term can only l...
