Abstract

The pervasive influence of digital technology has ushered in a new era of connectivity, reshaping the landscape of forensic science and challenging investigators to adapt to evolving methods of digital interaction. Remote access applications (RAAs) like TeamViewer have become integral tools for facilitating remote collaboration and support across various platforms. However, the widespread adoption of such applications has also led to an increase in cybercrimes, underscoring the critical need for meticulous forensic analysis. This study presents a comprehensive examination of TeamViewer's forensic artifacts across Windows and Android platforms, employing advanced forensic techniques such as registry analysis, disk forensics, memory forensics, and Android forensics. By meticulously dissecting digital evidence and uncovering valuable insights into user interactions, configuration settings, and session dynamics, this research aims to enhance understanding of remote access activities and empower forensic investigators with the tools needed to combat cybercrimes effectively. The findings highlight the forensic significance of each investigative approach and underscore the importance of continuous innovation in the field of digital forensics.
解码数字互动:跨 Windows 和安卓平台的 TeamViewer 取证工件的广泛研究
数字技术无处不在的影响开创了一个新的互联时代,重塑了法医学的格局,并对调查人员适应不断发展的数字互动方法提出了挑战。像 TeamViewer 这样的远程访问应用程序(RAA)已成为促进跨平台远程协作和支持不可或缺的工具。然而,此类应用程序的广泛应用也导致了网络犯罪的增加,突出了对细致取证分析的迫切需要。本研究采用注册表分析、磁盘取证、内存取证和 Android 取证等先进取证技术,全面检查了 TeamViewer 在 Windows 和 Android 平台上的取证工件。通过对数字证据进行细致的剖析,揭示用户交互、配置设置和会话动态的宝贵见解,本研究旨在加深对远程访问活动的理解,并为取证调查人员提供有效打击网络犯罪所需的工具。研究结果突出了每种调查方法的取证意义,并强调了在数字取证领域不断创新的重要性。
