Innovative Approaches in Computer Forensics, Innovative Applications and Comparative Analysis of GUI and Shortcut Methods

This article examines two different methods used in digital forensics—GUI (Graphical User Interface) and shortcut-based methods—and compares their innovative applications in detail. The GUI provides automation and transparency in digital forensic processes with its user-friendly interface, while the shortcut-based methods offer more flexibility and customization. In the analysis of audio and video recordings, the GUI is more effective in detecting visual details like body language, while the shortcut method allows faster and more customizable analysis. Both methods are evaluated in terms of their advantages and disadvantages, use cases, legal compliance, and data security. Additionally, the article discusses how suitable these methods are within the framework of the EU Artificial Intelligence Act and in which situations each method should be preferred. This study presents innovative approaches not found in the literature, providing a guide for future research in the field of digital forensics. By combining the visual strengths of the GUI with the speed and flexibility of the shortcut methods, more efficient results can be achieved in digital forensic investigations.
