Abstract

This paper reports on the largest survey of digital forensic practitioners to date (DFPulse) conducted from March to May 2024 resulting in 122 responses. The survey collected information about practitioners' operating environments, the technologies they encounter, investigative techniques they use, the challenges they face, the degree to which academic research is accessed and useful to the practitioner community, and their suggested future research directions. The paper includes quantitative and qualitative results from the survey and a discussion of the implications for academia, the improvements that can be made, and future research directions.
