This paper addresses digital forensic analysis tools and their use in a legal setting.
To enter scientific evidence into a United States court, a tool must be reliable and
relevant. The reliability of evidence is tested by applying “Daubert” guidelines.
To date, there have been few legal challenges to digital evidence, but as the field
matures this will likely change. This paper examines the Daubert guidelines and
shows that open source tools may more clearly and comprehensively meet the
guidelines than closed source tools.
