Valerino Rifqi, Imam Riadi . Web Forensic on TikTok Services in Hoax Cases using National Institute of Standards and Technology Method. International Journal of Computer Applications. 186, 34 ( Aug 2024), 35-42. DOI=10.5120/ijca2024923906
The development of information technology provides opportunities for faster dissemination of information with a very broad scope. One platform that can be used for the dissemination of information is TikTok. The number of TikTok users makes the app vulnerable to drug abuse. The research is aimed at obtaining digital evidence of a hoax case on Google Chrome.The method used in this research is from the National Institute of Standards and Technology. The method has four stages of research: collection, examination, analysis, and reporting. The tools used in this study are FTK Imager, Browser History Capture, Browser History Examiner, and Video Cache Viewer.The results of this research show that forensic evidence can be collected by capturing RAM and cache using supported tools. FTK Imager obtained results for 1 caption, 1 user name, and 1 TikTok access link to log in to the perpetrator's account. The Browser History Examiner obtained evidence of the date and time of upload of the TikTok video, 1 photo of the perpetrator's profile, 1 video thumbnail, 1 username, and 1 link to the performer's TikTok. Video Cache Viewer succeeded in extracting 1 deleted video back into a playable whole video and 1 link. With effective methods and tools for identifying and collecting digital evidence, the process of investigating hoax cases can be done more efficiently and accurately. It helps authorities track the spread of hoaxes on TikTok and can be a reference for further research focused on digital forensics on other social media platforms.
