Android tablet forensic logical image tool testing

William G. Harshbarger, Purdue University

Abstract

In order to scientifically demonstrate a measurable error rate in the operation of forensic imaging tools, any technology used must be empirically verified. A methodology is introduced to provide for measuring software logical imaging error rates on an Android tablet. This study observed no error rate in four of five tools tested, yet some measurable rate did exist for one tool. Additionally it was found that forensic imaging tools may have error rates comparable to other file transfer tools.
