Hey all. I'm a third year Digital Forensics Student currently looking at the area of Social Discovery and evidence recovery from social networking sites such as Facebook and twitter. For my assignment I am required to develop a tutorial in some particular area of digital forensics. I am looking closely at this area because I think its new and relevant today. The problem I am having is I cannot find any good free tools to work with.
My idea is to set up a few social networking accounts and create a scenario that may involve something such as a suspicious death. I want to be able to have evidence on these accounts that something suspicious may have been going on between the account holders, and I want to be able to reach a fairly straightforward conclusion from the evidence I recover.
I am looking for any helpful advice. I have applied for some free trial versions of software such as x1 social discovery, which seems to have the best rep on the web. I have not received any reply from two requests, probably because I'm a student. I have loked a software from Afentis Forensics, but it does not seem very good on first try. (Poor interface and structure)
I would welcome any recommendations on tools or any ideas on other tools I could use such as FTK, which may work for this.
I am also eager to find out exactly what kind of information you can recover from facebook/twitter other than posts, images, videos and chat history.
Is there anything more in depth that can be recovered ?
Are there any other tools I should be looking at ?
Are there any other folders/locations/files that I should be looking at ?
Sorry, that's quite a long post.
I intend to use a windows laptop for this assignment and perhaps an android and apple phone .
Thank you for your advice
