Computer forensicsPRINCIPLE “Forensic computing is the process of - a)Identifying b)Preserving c)Analysing and d)Presenting digital evidence in a manner that is acceptable.”
FUNCTION: • Detect a computer incident, identify the intruders and prosecute the perpetrator in a court of law.
HISTORY • Began to evolve more than 30 years ago in US when law enforcement and military investigators started seeing criminals get technical. • Over the next decades, and up to today, the field has exploded. Law enforcement and the military continue to have a large presence in the information security and computer forensic field at the local, state and federal level.
NEEDS OF COMPUTER FORENSICS • To produce evidence in the court that can lead to the punishment of the actual. • To ensure the integrity of computer system. • To focus on response to hi-tech offenses, started to intertwine.
CYBER CRIME: “any illegal act that involves a computer it’s system or it’s applications”. • Burglary • Suicide • Obscenity • Homicide • Administrative investigation • stalking • Types of cyber crime : • Child prom • Breech of computer security • Fraud /Theft • Copy right violations • Identity theft • Narcotics investigations • Threats

METHODOLOGY • Shut down the computer • Transport the computer system to a secure location • Make bit stream back ups of hard disks and floppy disks • Mathematically verify data on all storage devices • Document the system date and time • Make a list of key search words • Evaluate the windows swap file • Evaluate file slack
APPLICATIONS • Financial fraud detection • Criminal prosecution • Civil litigation • Corporate security policy and acceptable violations • Domestic • Marketing
Skills required: a)strong analytical skills b)strong computer science fundamentals c)strong system administrative skills
BENEFITS: • Information and evidence to solve a problem • Scientist does the job of solving a crime through analysing data • Using forensic science, it is easier to track the history and trace the events related to the crime • Using analysis tools and utilities
