Abstract

A digital forensic audit system which extracts the event and the document file from the image, analyzes the event and the document file to visualize the event and document file in order to analyze a user'"'"'s behaviors by scanning a usage trace and a file which is an image recorded in a window system, the system includes a document file extracting unit which extracts a logical level document file and an attribute of the document file from the image; an event extracting unit which extracts an event including time of occurrence from the image and extracts an event from an attribute of the document file related to the time (hereinafter, referred to as a time attribute), an analyzing unit which analyzes the document file or the event by the attribute and the time; and a visualizing unit which displays the analyzed result (hereinafter, referred to as an analysis result) on a time coordinate.

Claims

1. A digital forensic audit system for analyzing a user'"'"'s behaviors which scans an image recorded in a storage medium to extract an event and a document file from the image and analyzes the event and the document file to visualize the event and the document file, the system comprising:

a status extracting unit which extracts a system status from the recorded image;

a document file extracting unit which extracts the document file and an attribute of the document file from the recorded image;

an event extracting unit which extracts an event including time of occurrence from the recorded image and extracts an event from an attribute of the document file related to the time (hereinafter, referred to as a time attribute);

an analyzing unit which analyzes the document file or the event by the attribute and the time; and

a visualizing unit which displays the analyzed result (hereinafter, referred to as an analysis result) on a time coordinate.

2. The digital forensic audit system for analyzing a user'"'"'s behaviors of claim 1, wherein the visualizing unit sets a horizontal axis of the coordinate as an axis of the time and a vertical axis as an event or a document file to display the analysis result.

3. The digital forensic audit system for analyzing a user'"'"'s behaviors of claim 2, wherein the visualizing unit displays a rod (hereinafter, referred to as a time line) which displays a section of the horizontal axis and adjusts the section of the horizontal axis by adjusting the width of the rod between the left and right.

4. The digital forensic audit system for analyzing a user'"'"'s behaviors of claim 1, wherein the time attribute of the document file includes a file generation date and a file correction date.

5. The digital forensic audit system for analyzing a user'"'"'s behaviors of claim 1, wherein if the document file (hereinafter, an upper level file) includes a document file (hereinafter, a lower level file), the document file extracting unit extracts the lower level file as one document file.

6. The digital forensic audit system for analyzing a user'"'"'s behaviors of claim 5, wherein the event extracting unit extracts an event of the upper level file as an event of the lower level file.

7. The digital forensic audit system for analyzing a user'"'"'s behaviors of claim 6, wherein if the upper level file is a mail, the lower level file is a file which is attached to the mail and if the upper level file is a zip file, the lower level file is a compressed file.

8. The digital forensic audit system for analyzing a user'"'"'s behaviors of claim 1, wherein if occurrence times of at least two events are equal, the analyzing unit sets a correlation of the events and sets a correlation between the event and the document file to the document file which is extracted as the event.

9. The digital forensic audit system for analyzing a user'"'"'s behaviors of claim 1, wherein if a file name of the event is equal to a file name of the document file, the analyzing unit sets the correlation between the event and the document file.
