In this paper an attempt for realizing a storage system which works as a part of human brain has been discussed. The system is expected to be able to coordinate with human brain. And current storage may have inherent problem due to an intrinsic attribute of storage, exclusiveness. Directory structure in it must be a source of confusion, if it used out side of the range of limitation. Adapting multidimensional annotation of file name extension and directory-less file system, a new storage system able to associate and coordinate with human brain may be available near future. This paper showed that the limitation of current storage system clearly exists, because of human brain limitation to memorize directory name.

This paper proposes a digital forensic method to a file creation transaction using a journal file($LogFile) on NTFS File System. The journal file contains lots of information which can help recovering the file system when system failure happens, so knowledge of the structure is very helpful for a forensic analysis. The structure of the journal file, however, is not officially opened. We find out the journal file structure with analyzing the structure of log records by using reverse engineering. We show the digital forensic procedure extracting information from the log records of a sample file created on a NTFS volume. The related log records are as follows: bitmap and segment allocation information of MFT entry, index entry allocation information, resident value update information($FILE_NAME, $STANDARD_INFORMATION, and INDEX_ALLOCATION attribute etc.).

Temporal analysis is very useful and important for digital forensics for reconstructing the timeline of digital events. Forgery of a file's timestamp can lead to inconsistencies in the overall temporal relationship, making it difficult to analyze the timeline in reconstructing actions or events and the results of the analysis might not be reliable. The purpose of the timestamp change is to hide the data in a steganographic way, and the other purpose is for anti-forensics. In both cases, the time stamp change tools are requested to use. In this paper, we propose a classification method based on the behavior of the timestamp change tools. The timestamp change tools are categorized three types according to patterns of the changed timestamps after using the tools. By analyzing the changed timestamps, it can be decided what kind of tool is used. And we show that the three types of the patterns are closely related to API functions which are used to develop the tools.

In this paper, we propose a new anti-forensic method for hiding data in the timestamp of a file in the Windows NTFS filesystem. The main idea of the proposed method is to utilize the 16 least significant bits of the 64 bits in the timestamps. The 64-bit timestamp format represents a number of 100-nanosecond intervals, which are small enough to appear in less than a second, and are not commonly displayed with full precision in the Windows Explorer window or the file browsers of forensic tools. This allows them to be manipulated for other purposes. Every file has $STANDARD_INFORMATION and $FILE_NAME attributes, and each attribute has four timestamps respectively, so we can use 16 bytes to hide data. Without any changes in an original timestamp of "year-month-day hour:min:sec" format, we intentionally put manipulated data into the 16 least significant bits, making the existence of the hidden data in the timestamps difficult to uncover or detect. We demonstrated the applicability and feasibility of the proposed method with a test case.

이 논문에서는 윈도우즈 NTFS 파일시스템에서 디렉토리의 인덱스에 메시지를 숨기기 위한 새로운 안티 포렌식 방법을 제안한다. 인덱스 엔트리 관리를 위하여 채택하고 있는 B-tree 구조의 특징을 이용하여 인덱스 레코드의 슬랙 영역에 숨길 메시지를 저장한다. 안티포렌식을 위해 숨길 메시지가 노출되지 않게 하기 위해 서 위장 파일을 사용하여 삭제된 파일이름의 정보가 MFT 엔트리에 남지 않도록 한다. 이 기법의 핵심 아이디어 의 이해하기 위해서 B-tree방식의 인덱스 레코드의 운영방법을 소개하고 이 연구에서 제안된 알고리즘을 설명 한다. 제작된 소프트웨어를 사용한 메시지를 숨긴 사례를 들어서 이 방법이 실질적인 기법이라는 것을 보인다.
