The increase in the number of internet users in Indonesia as much as 175.4 million as recorded in the Datareportal.com report and 4.83 billion globally, impact the increase in the number of cyber fraud cases. Data states that 96% of fraud cases are not resolved due to fraud methods carried out online and make it difficult for legal officers to obtain evidence. Previous fraud investigation research mainly focused on fraud detection, so this research focuses on submitting a framework for investigating cyber fraud cases. The cyber fraud case requires a new framework for investigation because in this fraud case, there is digital evidence that is very prone to be damaged, lost, or modified, which makes this case unsolved. This research aims to develop a framework that is expected to help auditors to uncover cases of cyber fraud so that resolved cyber fraud cases can increase. The method used in making this framework uses Jabareen's conceptual framework development method, which consists of 6 stages, namely, Mapping the selected data source, extensive reading and categorizing of the chosen data, Identifying and naming objects, Deconstructing and categorizing the concept, Integrating concept, Synthesis, resynthesis. And make it all sense. The framework for cyber fraud investigation uses 22 digital forensic frameworks and eight frameworks for fraud audit investigations. The results of developing a framework using the Jabareen method resulted in 8 stages, integrating various concepts selected from digital forensics and fraud audits. Evaluation of framework development was carried out by giving limited questionnaires to practitioners and academics, which produced 89% for the feasibility value and needs of the framework and 67% there is no need for changes to the framework being developed.

Principles And Standards

The discipline of digital forensics requires a combination of skills, qualifications and knowledge in the area of forensic investigation, legal aspects and information technology. The uniqueness of digital evidence makes the adoption of traditional legal approaches problematic. Information technology terminology is currently used interchangeably without any regard to being unambiguous and consistent in relation to legal texts. Many of the information technology terms or concepts have not yet achieved legal recognition. The recognition and standardisation of terminology within a legal context are of the utmost importance to ensure that miscommunication does not occur. To provide clarity or guidance on some of the terms and concepts applicable to digital forensics and for the search and seizure of digital evidence, some of the concepts and terms are reviewed and discussed, using the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977 as a point of departure. Digital evidence is often collected incorrectly and analysed ineffectively or simply overlooked due to the complexities that digital evidence poses to forensic investigators. As with any forensic science, specific regulations, guidelines, principles or procedures should be followed to meet the objectives of investigations and to ensure the accuracy and acceptance of findings. These regulations, guidelines, principles or procedures are discussed within the context of digital forensics: what processes should be followed and how these processes ensure the acceptability of digital evidence. These processes include international principles and standards such as those of the Association of Chiefs of Police Officers and the International Organisation of Standardisation. A summary is also provided of the most influential or best-recognised international (IOS) standards on digital forensics. It is concluded that the originality, reliability, integrity and admissibility of digital evidence should be maintained as follows: Data should not be changed or altered. Original evidence should not be directly examined. Forensically sound duplicates should be created. Digital forensic analyses should be performed by competent persons. Digital forensic analyses should adhere to relevant local legal requirements. Audit trails should exist consisting of all required documents and actions. The chain of custody should be protected. Processes and procedures should be proper, while recognised and accepted by the industry. If the ACPO (1997) principles and ISO/IEC 27043 and 27037 Standards are followed as a forensic framework, then digital forensic investigators should follow these standards as a legal framework.

Information technology has become an essential thing in the digital era as it is today. With the support of computer networks, information technology is used as a medium for exchanging data and information. Much information is confidential. Therefore, security is also essential. Metasploit is one of the frameworks commonly used by penetration testers to audit or test the security of a computer system legally, but it does not rule out the possibility that Metasploit can also be used for crime. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out a digital forensic process to uncover these crimes. In this study, a simulation of attacks on Windows 10 will be carried out with Metasploit. Then the digital forensics process uses live forensics techniques on computer RAM, where the computer RAM contains information about the processes running on the computer. The live forensic technique is important because information on RAM will be lost if the computer is off. This research will use FTK Imager, Dumpit, and Magnet RAM Capture as the RAM acquisition tool and Volatility as the analysis tool. The results of the research have successfully shown that the live forensics technique in RAM is able to obtain digital evidence in the form of an attacker's IP, evidence of exploits/Trojans, processes running on RAM, operating system profiles used and the location of the exploits/Trojan when executed by the victim.
