An operating system keeps track of several different file properties for each data file. List the different file properties. Finally, discuss the importance of modified dates and times versus accessed dates and times

What will be an ideal response?


File location, file size, file creation date, file modified date, and file access date. The timestamp associated with modification is important because it can prove that an investigator did not tamper with or otherwise modify any data files. Accessed timestamps merely reflect when the file was last viewed without any changes being made to it.
