EMAIL FORENSICS TOOLS

EMAIL FORENSICS TOOLS Erasing or deleting an email doesn’t necessarily mean that it is gone
forever. Often emails can be forensically extracted even after deletion. Forensic tracing of e-mail is
similar to traditional detective work. It is used for retrieving information from mailbox files. • MiTec
Mail Viewer – This is a viewer for Outlook Express, Windows Mail/Windows Live Mail, Mozilla
Thunderbird message databases, and single EML files. It displays a list of contained messages with all
needed properties, like an ordinary e-mail client. Messages can be viewed in detailed view, including
attachments and an HTML preview. It has powerful searching and filtering capability and also allows
extracting email addresses from all emails in opened folder to list by one click. Selected messages
can be saved to eml files with or without their attachments. Attachments can be extracted from
selected messages by one command. • OST and PST Viewer – Nucleus Technologies’ OST and PST
viewer tools help you view OST and PST files easily without connecting to an MS Exchange server.
These tools allow the user to scan OST and PST files and they display the data saved in it including
email messages, contacts, calendars, notes, etc., in a proper folder structure. • eMailTrackerPro –
eMailTrackerPro analyses the headers of an e-mail to detect the IP address of the machine that sent
the message so that the sender can be tracked down. It can trace multiple e-mails at the same time
and easily keep track of them. The geographical location of an IP address is key information for
determining the threat level or validity of an e-mail message.

FORENSICS INVESTIGATION
FORENSICS INVESTIGATION: Forensics are the scientific methods used to solve a crime. Forensic
investigation is the gathering and analysis of all crime-related physical evidence in order to come to a
conclusion about a suspect. Investigators will look at blood, fluid, or fingerprints, residue, hard
drives, computers, or other technology to establish how a crime took place. This is a general
definition, though, since there are a number of different types of forensics. TYPES OF FORENSICS

COMPUTER FORENSICS Digital forensics has been defined as the use of scientifically derived and
proven methods towards the identification, collection, preservation, validation, analysis,
interpretation, and presentation of digital evidence derivative from digital sources to facilitate the
reconstruction of events found to be criminal.But these digital forensics investigation methods face
some major challenges at the time of practical implementation. Digital forensic challenges are
categorized into three major heads as per Fahdi, Clark, and Furnell are: • Technical challenges • Legal
challenges • Resource Challenges
