Briefly explain forensic tools for social media investigations.

What will be an ideal response?


ANSWER: Software for social media forensics is being developed, but not many tools are available. A number of social media tools that were free or inexpensive have now been incorporated into forensics suites, such as FTK Social Analyzer, or offer only 14-day to 30-day trials. In addition, there are many questions about how the information these tools gather can be used in court or in arbitration. Investigators often run into the problem of finding information unrelated to a case, and sometimes they must stop to get another warrant or subpoena, such as investigating a claim of fraud and finding evidence of corporate espionage. Using social media forensics software might also require getting the permission of people whose information is being examined.
