Anti-forensics against memory forensics : A litterature study about anti-forensic methods against memory dumping and memory analysis (English)
Abstract [sv]

IT-forensiker möter många svårigheter i sitt arbete med att inhämta och analysera data. Brottslingar använder mer och mer anti-forensiska metoder för att gömma bevis som kan användas emot dem. En vanligt förekommande anti-forensisk metod är kryptering. För att IT-forensiker skall kunna komma åt den krypterade informationen kan krypteringsnyckeln hittas i minnet på datorn. Vilket gör att datorns minne blir värdefullt att hämta och analysera. Däremot finns det flera anti-forensiska metoder som en förbrytare kan använda för att förhindra att minnet hämtas eller analyseras.

Denna studie utför en systematisk litteraturstudie för att identifiera de aktuella anti-forensiska metoder mot minnesanalys och minnesdumpning på Windows system. Flera metoder tas upp där bland annat operativsystemet modifieras eller inbyggda säkerhetsfunktioner på CPUn används för att förhindra att information hämtas eller analyseras från minnet.

Abstract [en]

IT forensics face many difficulties in their work of obtaining and analyzing data. Criminals are using more and more anti-forensic methods to hide evidence that can be used against them. One common anti-forensic method is encryption. In order for IT forensics to access the encrypted information, the encryption key can be found in the memory of the computer. This makes the computer's memory valuable to retrieved and analyze. However, there are several anti-forensic methods that a criminal can use to prevent the memory from being retrieved or analyzed. This study performs a systematic literature study to identify the current anti-forensic methods against memory analysis and memory dumping on Windows system. Several methods are addressed where, among other things, the operating system is modified or built-in security functions on the CPU are used to prevent information being retrieved or analyzed from memory.
