![]() The test laptop was shut down and the hard drive forensically imaged. The test laptop was connected to the internet and FrostWire v.5 was executed and a search was conducted for various Linux distributions.īased on the results of Step 5, various files were selected and downloaded using FrostWire v.5 and once completed it was shut down. The Windows 7 Standard operating system was installed on the laptop used, with default settings selected.įrostWire v.5 was installed on the laptop, and was downloaded from Step 4:įrostWire v.5 was installed using the standard method and keeping the default settings. The hard drive on the laptop used in the experiment was forensically sanitized and validated. The research was conducted by way of practical experimentation making use of the following experimental protocols. The problem discussed in this paper, is what evidential artifacts are left by using FrostWire v.5, and what evidential value do they contain. With developers constantly changing and evolving their software, the artifacts change, and they find new ways to make it more protected for their users. The sheer proliferation of these applications in various forms, requires digital forensic examiners to be aware of the potential evidential artifacts that can exist in them. P2P downloading of copyrighted media and contraband is a significant problem. The software application mentioned is one of the more popular P2P, applications. This paper will discuss how the P2P software application, FrostWire v.5, functions and what artifacts can be found and examined for forensic purposes. Peer to peer (P2P) applications are commonly used for this purpose, and like any software application, they is ever changing, and ever evolving.
