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.This work was supported by the “Collaborative Project in Genomic Data Integration (CICLOGEN)” PI17/01826 funded by the Carlos III Health Institute from the Spanish National plan for Scientific and Technical Research and Innovation 2013-2016 and the European Regional Development Funds (FEDER)—“A way to build Europe”. This project was also supported by the General Directorate of Culture, Education and University Management of Xunta de Galicia ED431D 2017/16 and “Drug Discovery Galician Network” Ref. ED431G/01 and the “Galician Network for Colorectal Cancer Research” (Ref. ED431D 2017/23), and finally by the Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness for its support through the funding of the unique installation BIOCAI (UNLC08-1E-002, UNLC13-13-3503) and the European Regional Development Funds (FEDER) by the European Union. Additional support was offered by the Consolidation and Structuring of Competitive Research Units—Competitive Reference Groups (ED431C 2018/49), funded by the Ministry of Education, University and Vocational Training of the Xunta de Galicia endowed with EU FEDER fundsXunta de Galicia; ED431D 2017/16Xunta de Galicia; ED431G/01Xunta de Galicia; ED431D 2017/23Xunta de Galicia; ED431C 2018/4
