Article: Effectiveness of digital forensic investigation through excavation methods of various Linux based tools Journal: International Journal of Enterprise Network Management (IJENM) 2024 Vol.15 No.1 pp.70 - 92 Abstract: Digital forensic is a process of pre-processing, identification, modelling, extraction, and documentation of computer evidence. The forensic investigations in today's human life are more important due to the high-level cyber crime activities and other proof-less investigations happening under various public and private domains. The computer world updates various methods to do the investigation activities and most of the methods are working based on the existing activity monitoring and proof-based content available for the processing. Various computer platforms give many procedures to continue the investigation process, but the effectiveness and accuracy is completely depending on the tools and data proof used while processing the data. Linux is one of the most eligible and rich tools providing platform with various proofreading mechanisms. We are trying to furnish the most effective methods used for digital forensic investigations in Linux platform, which were proven to be with high level of accuracy and integrity. This article can provide various mechanism used in the tools and its effectiveness through an excavation method. Inderscience Publishers - linking academia, business and industry through research

Abstract: Digital forensic is a process of pre-processing, identification, modelling, extraction, and documentation of computer evidence. The forensic investigations in today's human life are more important due to the high-level cyber crime activities and other proof-less investigations happening under various public and private domains. The computer world updates various methods to do the investigation activities and most of the methods are working based on the existing activity monitoring and proof-based content available for the processing. Various computer platforms give many procedures to continue the investigation process, but the effectiveness and accuracy is completely depending on the tools and data proof used while processing the data. Linux is one of the most eligible and rich tools providing platform with various proofreading mechanisms. We are trying to furnish the most effective methods used for digital forensic investigations in Linux platform, which were proven to be with high level of accuracy and integrity. This article can provide various mechanism used in the tools and its effectiveness through an excavation method.
