SMART TV FORENSICS: A NON-INVASIVE ANALYSIS OF SAMSUNG DEVICES WITH TIZEN 6.0

Abstract

In this study, forensic analysis was performed on a Samsung smart TV with Tizen 6.0 operating system. The main purpose is to collect digital evidence from the smart TV and to explain the methods of obtaining forensic copies. Tools such as Smart Development Bridge (SDB), FTK Imager, SQLite browser, Dcode and Magnet Axiom were used in the analysis process. With this method, which does not require root access, important data was obtained by using the SDB backup feature in developer mode. The collected data includes internet history, TV and application usage data, account information, USB connections and wireless network information. The study presents a model for the forensic analysis procedure for smart TVs and contributes to the research in this field.

AKILLI TV ADLİ BİLİŞİMİ: TİZEN 6.0 SAMSUNG CİHAZLARIN MÜDAHALE OLMADAN ANALİZİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Tizen 6.0 işletim sistemine sahip bir Samsung akıllı televizyonda adli analiz gerçekleştirilmiştir. Temel amaç, akıllı televizyondan dijital deliller toplamak ve adli kopya alma yöntemlerini açıklamaktır. Analiz sürecinde Smart Development Bridge (SDB), FTK Imager, SQLite tarayıcı, Dcode ve Magnet Axiom gibi araçlar kullanılmıştır. Kök erişimi gerektirmeyen bu yöntemle, geliştirici modunda SDB yedekleme özelliği kullanılarak önemli veriler elde edilmiştir. Toplanan veriler arasında internet geçmişi, TV ve uygulama kullanım verileri, hesap bilgileri, USB bağlantıları ve kablosuz ağ bilgileri yer almaktadır. Çalışma, akıllı televizyonlar için adli analiz prosedürüne yönelik bir model sunmakta ve bu alandaki araştırmalara katkı sağlamaktadır.
