Abstract


Forensic investigations have to deal with large amounts of data nowadays due to the development of technology, becoming impractical to manually analyze each case. For this reason, methods that can reduce the time needed in an investigation and yet be effective in finding evidence are necessary. In this work, we show how to improve the performance and precision of one of the most consolidated approximate matching tools in the area, the sdhash. Our results show that the modified tool is capable of identify similarities between different artifacts in an easier and faster way.
