Abstract

This study examined the use of Raspberry Pi for forensic analysis and its potential for providing computer protection. It investigates its capability to identify suspicious patterns on USB drives and its compatibility with certain software. Furthermore, it examines the ability of the Raspberry Pi to generate reports and send email notifications upon detection of any malicious files such as worms, Trojans, and spyware. Additionally, it investigates Raspberry Pi’s ability to move potentially malicious files to a secure trash folder for sanitization. The experiment was designed using an experimental method. The findings suggest that the Raspberry Pi can provide an added layer of computer protection through automatic report generation and email notifications for malicious file detection. As a result, this study provides evidence that Raspberry Pi can effectively provide digital forensics services. With its quick file search capabilities, it is a powerful tool that can help organizations gather crucial digital evidence that may otherwise remain undetected.
