Forensic analysis is a dynamically growing area of IT. Its purpose is to reconstruct the timeline of occurred events or to find specific digital traces of user actions from the gained digital data samples.
In the Master’s thesis, the student will carry out analyses of typical forensic tasks that occur during the crime investigation performed by the Police of the Czech Republic. The student will provide an overview of available tools for this kind of tasks, along with their description. The student will choose the most suitable tool out of the tools available, with respect to performance, stability, and user friendliness. The student will test the tool in a simulation of a real forensic task. According to the outcomes of the test that will be documented in the thesis, she will either propose the tool for the use in practice, optimize it and extend it by additional modules – alternatively, she will employ a tool used and developed by the technical consultant of the thesis - IT Forensic Tool, which she will describe and also propose and undertake its extension and optimization.

On the technical level, the thesis will be co-supervised by an expert witness (as a consultant) from the Trusted Network Solutions company, a member of the Association of Industrial Partners of the Faculty of Informatics.
