A Forensic Comparison of NTFS and FAT32 File Systems
The file system on any storage device is essential to the overall organization, storage mechanisms, and data control of the device. Knowing how these file systems work and the layout of key structures, storage mechanisms, associated metadata, and file system characteristics is essential to being able to forensically investigate a computer or other device. The New Technology File System (NTFS) and File Allocation Table (FAT32) are two key file systems that will be compared and contrasted, since both are still actively used and encountered often. Both systems offer forensic evidence that is significant and mandatory in an investigation. This PDF covers the following topics related to Windows NFTS and FAT32 File System : Abstract, Introduction, Results and Discussion, Conclusions, Future Research, Figures.
