Abstract

The aim of this paper is to demonstrate the possibility of forensic determination of DVD-R(W) disks regarding the serial number of the used DVD burner. As it was already shown that the burner identication (serial number and type of burner) works for CD ROMs, it was largely unknown that this burner identication works for DVD-R(W) as well when special drives and special software is used. A detailed analysis is given in this paper. Furthermore, a case study for a forensics training program for investigators is developed.
