Abstract

This paper discusses problems arising in digital forensics with regard to Unicode, character encodings, and search. It describes how multipattern search can handle the different text encodings encountered in digital forensics and a number of issues pertaining to proper handling of Unicode in search patterns. Finally, we demonstrate the feasibility of the approach and discuss the integration of our developed search engine, lightgrep, with the popular bulk_extractor tool.
