Cyber-crime has reached unprecedented proportions in this day and age. In addition, the internet has created a world with seemingly no barriers while making a countless number of tools available to the cyber-criminal. In light of this, Computer Forensic Specialists employ state-of-the-art tools and methodologies in the extraction and analysis of data from storage devices used at the digital crime scene. The focus of this paper is to conduct an investigation into some of these Forensic tools eg.Encase®. This investigation will address commonalities across the Forensic tools, their essential differences and ultimately point out what features need to be improved in these tools to allow for effective autopsies of storage devices.
