The National White Collar Crime Center (NW3C) was asked to conduct several presentations during the 2023 National Cyber Crime Conference in April 2023 in Norwood, Massachusetts. This entry represents the speaker and presentation as follows:
Presenter: Amy Keigwin
Title: NTFS Journal Artifact Accessibility
Description: This presentation's focus is to make the NTFS journal file a more accessible artifact in digital forensics investigations, so that no matter the skill level anyone with a basic technological knowledge would be able to analyze it. Law enforcement investigators can perform file system forensic analysis without the need to undergo the long and extensive training needed for manual analysis. The goal is to use free, open-source tools and build onto them so that they can be shared with others. More specifically, the investigator will be responsible for setting up an Elastic Stack, which has become much easier with the release of 8.x, and then importing the dashboards.
