Abstract

With the growth of many open source operating systems comes the introduction of open source file systems that allow free modification. File system modifications can be a method of users to evade investigators who use commercial tools to analyze the suspect's media. Investigators need to be aware of what is possible and ways to circumvent the methods that users can utilize when modifying their file system to hide data.
