Meta DataMeta data refers to data about data, or information that provides context and context for a specific set of data. In computer forensics, meta data can be incredibly useful in helping to identify and understand the context of various types of data that may be present on a computer or digital device. Here are some examples of meta data in computer forensics:
Overall, meta data can provide valuable context and context for computer forensics investigations, helping investigators to identify patterns, connections, and trends in the data they are examining | |
MountingMounting is the process of logically attaching a forensic image or copy of a storage device (e.g., hard drive, memory card) to the investigator's analysis system. This allows the investigator to access and examine the contents of the mounted image as if it were a physical drive, without modifying the original evidence. When a storage device or disk image is mounted, it is assigned a directory path within the file system hierarchy, allowing users to interact with its files and folders as if they were stored locally. Mounting is a common operation in digital forensics for accessing disk images, forensic images, network shares, and other storage media to perform analysis, data recovery, or investigative tasks. | |
Mutual Legal Assistance Treaty (MLAT)
MLATs represent a commitment among nations to work together in the fight against crime while balancing the need to respect national sovereignty and protect human rights. They are an essential tool in the toolbox of international law enforcement agencies, providing a legal basis for cooperation that might otherwise be difficult to achieve. | |
