Hafizhah Dyanty Putri, Imam Riadi . Mobile Forensic Analysis of Discord Services Cyberbullying Case using National Institute of Justice Method. International Journal of Computer Applications. 186, 35 ( Aug 2024), 55-66. DOI=10.5120/ijca2024923927
The development of information technology has brought significant impacts, including on social media such as Discord, which although useful, has also increased cases of cyberbullying. This research aims to find digital evidence in cyberbullying cases on Discord using the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) method. The NIJ methodology consists of five stages: preparation, collection, examination, analysis, and reporting. Digital forensic tools used include MOBILEdit Forensic Express, Discord Chat Exporter, and SysTools SQLite Viewer. The collection stage involved collecting evidence from the victim's smartphone, and the examination and analysis stage involved evaluating the digital evidence. The results showed that Discord Chat Exporter found 92 items (88%) of digital evidence, including usernames, conversation texts, and screenshots, while MOBILEdit Forensic Express found 12 items (12%). SysTools SQLite Viewer found nothing. This research confirms the importance of the NIJ method in ensuring the integrity and accuracy of digital evidence in forensic investigations of cyberbullying cases.
