Computer Forensics and Data Discovery
2

• Computer forensics is the science of getting
  information from computers and digital media.
  This information is usually intended to be used
  as legal evidence. A computer forensics analyst
  must be expert in both the technology of data
  recovery and the legal aspects of evidence
  handling.

Computer Crimes

• There are some crimes in which computers are
  directly involved. One of these is hacking into
  corporate and government websites. Hackers may
  try to obtain information like customer's credit
  card or bank account information. They may try to
  embarrass government agencies and prevent the
  access of citizens by shutting down websites or
  posting false information. Another crime is that
  of abuse in chat rooms and social media sites.
  This may take the form of bullying, encouraging
  others to attack a person or spreading false
  information about someone to damage their
  reputation

Data Recovery Techniques

• Live Recovery - If the computer is seized while
  it is still running, or is shut down but
  operational, live recovery may be used. This may
  involve searching the hard drive of the computer
  using the installed operating system or
  third-party software.

5

• Deleted File Recovery - Many people do not
  realize that when files are deleted from a
  computer, they are seldom actually removed from
  the hard drive. When the delete function is used,
  all this does is remove the file's location from
  the computer's file location list. Software is
  available to recover these files in most cases.
  Even if the hard drive has been erased, the data
  is often still there

6

• Stenography - This is an interesting method of
  hiding data in which the information is mixed
  into an image. The data may also be intermixed
  with the coding of a computer file.
