MFT Entry Number Sequence Irregularities

MFT Entry Number Sequence Irregularities refer to inconsistencies where the sequential order of Master File Table (MFT) entries in an NTFS file system does not align with the chronological order of file timestamps. Such irregularities can indicate potential file manipulation or tampering, such as timestamping, where timestamps are altered to obscure the true timeline of file creation or modification.
