Universal Serial Bus (USB)
USB is the serial bus standard to interface devices to a host
computer
It allows many peripherals to be connected to a host computer
using a single standardized interface socket
It is generally used to connect computer peripherals such as
mouse, keyboards, PDAs, gamepads and joysticks, scanners,
digital cameras, printers, personal media players, and flash
drives

USB Flash Drive
USB flash drive is the portable and rewritable data storage device integrated with a USB
interface
It is supported by modern operating systems such as Windows, Mac OS X, Linux, and
other Unix-like systems
The speed of USB 2.0 is to read up to 30 MB/s and write at about 15 MB/s
• Male type-A USB connector
• USB mass storage controller — implements the USB host controller
• NAND flash memory chip
• Crystal oscillator — produces the device's main 12 MHz clock signal and
controls the device's data output through a phase-locked loop
There are four parts of a flash drive:

• Collect the data stored in USB
• Collect the information about the data leaked from the
computer
• Trace the criminals who has done the crime using USB
flash drive
It helps the forensic investigators to:
