Computer technology is the major integral part of everyday human
life, and it is growing rapidly, as are computer crimes such as
financial fraud, unauthorized intrusion, identity theft and intellectual
theft. To counteract those computer-related crimes, Computer Forensics
plays a very important role. “Computer Forensics involves obtaining and
analysing digital information for use as evidence in civil, criminal or
administrative cases (Nelson, B., et al., 2008)”. A Computer Forensic Investigation generally investigates the data
which could be taken from computer hard disks or any other storage
devices with adherence to standard policies and procedures to determine
if those devices have been compromised by unauthorised access or not.
Computer Forensics Investigators work as a team to investigate the
incident and conduct the forensic analysis by using various
methodologies (e.g. Static and Dynamic) and tools (e.g. ProDiscover or
Encase) to ensure the computer network system is secure in an
organization.
