Popis: The use of memory forensic techniques has the potential to enhance computer forensic investigations. The analysis of digital evidence is facing several key challenges; an increase in electronic devices, network connections and bandwidth, the use of anti-forensic technologies and the development of network centric applications and technologies has lead to less potential evidence stored on static media and increased amounts of data stored off-system. Memory forensic techniques have the potential to overcome these issues in forensic analysis. While much of the current research in memory forensics has been focused on low-level data, there is a need for research to extract high-level data from physical memory as a means of providing forensic investigators with greater insight into a target system. This paper outlines the need for further research into memory forensic techniques. In particular it stresses the need for methods and techniques for understanding context on a system and also as a means of augmenting other data sources to provide a more complete and efficient searching of investigations.
