Muhammad Difido, Imam Riadi . Web Forensic of Discord Services in Account Hijacking Cases using National Institute of Standards and Technology Method. International Journal of Computer Applications. 187, 29 ( Aug 2025), 14-21. DOI=10.5120/ijca2025925494
Abstract
This study analyzes the security of social media accounts against Account Hijacking attacks using the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) method, which consists of four stages: collection, examination, analysis, and reporting. Three tools were used in this research: FTK Imager, Discord Chat Exporter, and Chrome Cache Viewer. The results showed that Discord Chat Exporter produced 68% of the evidence in the form of text conversations, screenshot images, usernames, and profile pictures, while Chrome Cache Viewer contributed 16% from the Google Chrome browser cache. FTK Imager did not succeed in obtaining evidence from the Discord website, bringing the total collected evidence to 84%. The research findings confirm the effectiveness of Discord Chat Exporter and Chrome Cache Viewer in collecting digital evidence and recommend stricter digital forensic procedures and mitigation measures to enhance the security of social media accounts.
