Anti Forensic Measures and Their Impact on Forensic Investigations

This work gives an overview of a number of popular anti forensic measures on local persistent storage systems, specifically on photos and videos, and evaluates the effectiveness of the measures based on a number of different factors. We discuss the factors for the effectiveness along with the problems and anti forensic targets. We provide an overview of a number of popular anti-forensic measures that apply to media forensics, along with descriptions of every measure. We also qualitatively evaluate anti forensic measures on the conflict of interest between convenience and effectiveness of the measure.
