Abstract :
Netbooks, the smallest laptop devices, are ironically the largest market segment, based on sales in the last year. These are light-weight, cheap, and designed for the limited tasks that rely on the internet. Given the large user base of these devices, it is inevitable that they will be used criminally. This is an extension on the fact that all technologies are able to be used criminally and will be, as they become part of larger society. This work seeks to understand the forensic implications of the Asus Aspire One, one of the most popular Netbooks, looking at both the forensic acquisition and analysis of the device.
