What is Computer Forensics?
Computer Forensics is the science of identification, preservation, and analysis of electronic data in a fashion that is acceptable in a court of law. This process often involves investigating computer systems to determine whether they are or have been used for illegal or unauthorized activities. Mostly, Computer Forensics experts investigate data storage devices Ц hard drives contained in traditional desktop and laptop computers or removable data storage devices such as: CD-ROMs, floppy disks, and tape backups. Computer Forensics experts: 1. Identify sources of digital evidence 2. Preserve the evidence 3. Analyze the evidence 4. Present the findings Computer Forensics should not only be used once a threat or risk is determined, but also in a proactive approach. Creating a forensic copy of individualТs computer just prior to termination will ensure that the individual did not send out your critical client lists to their personal E-mail account just prior to departure. If the incident already occurred, there is a great need to preserve the evidence as soon as possible. Computer systems are very dynamic. Simply booting the computer can alter or destroy your critical evidence. This is why preserving the evidence using set scientific processes designed to preserve your evidence is very critical. A Computer Forensic preservation process should be used the moment warning signs appear. A forensic acquisition is one of the very first steps in the Computer Forensic process. A specially trained forensic examiner creates a bit-stream forensic image of the targeted computer. A bit-stream image is essentially a very specific mirror copy that copies anything and everything within the computer, including deleted information. The forensic acquisition process utilizes special forensic hardware and software to ensure that the mirror copy is 100% complete with no errors and can be admissible in court. The evidence is extensively photo-documented, serial numbers and unique identifying marks are recorded, and if necessary, a chain of custody form is established.
