INTRODUCTION The term forensic investigation refers to the use of science or technology in the investigation and establishment of facts or evidences to be used in legal cases or other proceedings. The scope of forensic analysis varies from information retrieval to reconstructing series of events that have occurred in the past. In this paper we would be discussing the meaning of the term ‘COMPUTER FORENSICS’, its uses, the users of computer forensics, steps involved in this type of forensic investigation
Unit 2 Assignment 1: Examine Computer Forensics and Privacy Computer forensics involves the preservation. Identification, extraction, and documentation and interpretation of computer data. The three main steps in computer forensic investigation are acquiring, authenticating, and analyzing of the data. Data recovery is only one aspect of the forensics investigation. Tracking the hacking activities within a compromised system is also important. With any system that is connected to the internet, hacker
digital forensics hardware tools. This paper will be covering the FREDC, forensic recovery of evidence center. This paper will also cover the UltraKit V4.0 a suite of write block tools. This paper will cover the use of these tools, how these tools will help forensic teams gather evidence, the advantages and drawbacks to the tools and an explanation of how the tools might be used. FREDC FREDC is a full rack of equipment that is used to act as a fully configured private cloud for forensic storage
But when discussed in depth, the meaning and application of 5W and 1 H on digital evidence and chain of custody among researchers are different from each other. Some have suggested that the 5W and 1 H aspects must always exist in every stage of forensic activity and its interaction with digital evidence, but there is also meaning that the aspect is sufficient to describe the initial process when obtaining digital evidence. In the context of recording interactions with digital evidence, the meaning
Forensic science technicians work in laboratories or out in the crime scene. There are different names that are assigned depending on where you work at. Working in a laboratory you are called forensic pathologists and latent print examiners. They use chemicals and analyze evidence using a microscope. You may use a computer when working with fingerprints and DNA. Generally, forensic science technicians who work out in the crime scene and collect evidence are called criminalists or crime scene investigators
According to some researchers, forensic is sub-divided into some categories: 1. Criminalistics is a subdivision of forensic science that analyzes and answer questions related to biological evidence, trace evidence, proof prints (such as fingerprints, footwear impressions, tire tracks and cars), controlled substances (chemicals that are banned by the government because it could lead to the potential for abuse or addiction), ballistics (examination of firearms) and other evidence found at a crime scene
Forensic Science Career Forensic science plays a fundamental role in the criminal justice structure. It is known that every career route has its own ins and outs. A career in the field of forensic science is not an exception. Forensic science is the supplement of science to law. It has become extremely popular among law students nowadays. Everyone has its own grounds to be engaged in this profession. Nowadays there is a wide variety of TV series inspiring young minds to take up career of Forensic
portrayed on television about forensic science, this report will focus on the academic, training, and personal requirements that are needed before going into the field. The purpose of this memorandum is to research what a forensic science technician does, by going into detail about the work involved as well as figuring out if the career is suitable for living in the state of California. Results: My initial focus for this memorandum was to define the career of a forensic science technician and to further
the advent of information storage and the ease of computer access as well as the rise of social media, so too has the need for tools in electronic criminal investigation as well as a new and more focused informational gathering science that we know today as computer forensics (Holt & Bossler, 2012). A person may ask why the relevance of computer forensics in our daily lives? There is a twofold concept to this first is “detection” of computer forensics where as it entails more along the lines of prevention
subject to forensic analysis. Also, some jurors may believe that forensic science is a perfect science that's always accurate, however they are ignoring the possibility of human or technical error. In the movie “The Real CSI”, it is stated that someone can be considered an expert based on knowledge, skill, experience, training or education, the real issue is that once a judge says they can testify they are considered an expert in their specific field. There are many problems in the forensic science
