Computer
Forensic
Computer forensics involves the acquisition, preservation, analysis,
and presentation of computer evidence. This type of evidence is fragile
and can easily, even inadvertently, be altered, destroyed, or rendered
inadmissible as evidence. Computer evidence must be properly obtained,
preserved, and analyzed to be accepted as reliable and valid in a court
of law.
To preserve the integrity of case evidence, forensic investigators do
not work on the original files themselves. Instead, they create an exact
replica of the files and work on this image to ensure that the original
files remain intact.
To verify the files they are working on have not been altered, investigators
can compare a hash of the original files at the time they were seized
with a hash of the imaged files used in the investigation. Hashing provides
mathematical validation that a forensic image exactly matches the contents
of the original computer.
Another important legal element in computer forensics is the continuity,
or chain of custody, of computer evidence. The chain of custody deals
with who has supervised, acquired, analyzed, and controlled the evidence.
Forensic investigators must be able to account for all that has happened
to the evidence between its point of acquisition or seizure and its
eventual appearance in court.
There are many cases in which personnel trained in information technology
have made incriminating computer evidence legally inadmissible because
of their reckless or ill-conceived examinations. Only properly trained
computer forensics specialists should obtain and examine computer evidence.
We provide complete forensic services. These include: electronic
discovery consultation; onsite seizure of the evidence; thorough processing
of the evidence; interpretation of the results; reporting the results
in an understandable manner.
