Fragments-Expert: A Graphical User Interface MATLAB Toolbox for Classification of File Fragments (2007.11246v1)

Abstract: The classification of file fragments of various file formats is an essential task in various applications such as firewalls, intrusion detection systems, anti-viruses, web content filtering, and digital forensics. However, the community lacks a suitable software tool that can integrate major methods for feature extraction from file fragments and classification among various file formats. In this paper, we present Fragments-Expert that is a graphical user interface MATLAB toolbox for the classification of file fragments. It provides users with 22 categories of features extracted from file fragments. These features can be employed by 7 categories of machine learning algorithms for the task of classification among various file formats.
