Introduction:
Computer forensics is the practice of collecting evidence, analyzing and reporting on digital data in a way that is legally admissible. It can be used in the detection and prevention of crime and in any dispute where evidence is stored digitally. Computer forensics follows a similar process to other forensic disciplines, and faces similar issues.
In a single word digital forensic is data-recovery of science.
Applications:
Law enforcement, Human resources, Other.
Important:
Some criminals are getting smarter; data-hiding techniques such as encryption and stenography can put evidence of criminal activity where traditional search methods cannot find it.
Computer Forensics Versus Other Related Disciplines:
Computer forensics:
Investigates data that can be retrieved from a computer’s hard disk or other storage media
Network forensics:
Yields information about how a perpetrator or an attacker gained access to a network.
Data recovery:
Recovering information that was deleted by mistake.
History of Computer Forensics:
By the 1970s, electronic crimes were increasing, especially in the financial sector
– Most law enforcement officers didn't know enough about computers to ask the right questions
• Or to preserve evidence for trial.
