Computer forensics

Forensic chemistry is a type of chemistry that is found in association with the solving of crimes or murders. Forensic chemists analyze and examine things left at a murder or a crime scene such as blood, fingerprints, hair, or anything with traces of human DNA that could be linked to the individual who may have been responsible for the crime. Forensic chemists use science to bring many killers and criminals to justice. There are a few educational requirements needed to enter the field…

kitchen counter, toilet button, bathroom door, mirror, television, car door, computer, and the iron. Almost all of the prints were pulled from the house except for the car door. The car door prints were pulled from a car in my driveway. The oven, refrigerator, kitchen counter prints were all pulled from the kitchen. The toilet button, bathroom door, and mirror prints were all found in the downstairs bathroom. The computer, television, and iron prints were all found in the loft. Since there…

wearing heals. Our bones are for a human like a hard drive is for a computer, it’s a storage of memories that we can appreciate if we look deep. Our bones are so important that if we died a violent dead they can help identified how it happen, when it happen and even who did it. The science of finding out who kill someone…

the use of digital technology is evolving everyday because not only are we surrounded by internet activities, but now we’re surrounded by a huge cesspool of digital technology. Just to name a few, digital technology includes but not limited to computers, CD’s and DVD’s, portable storage media and cell phones. When it comes to examining digital technology it can include anything from photos, video’s, text documents, Internet activity logs along with phone numbers or any other data that can be…

In his article, Dutelle (2008) details the subjective errors of omissions, false misrepresentation among other mistakes that are made knowingly or inadvertently by forensic investigators. The investigative processes involved in solving a criminal act possessing the presence of evidence through application of forensic science, he opines, can lead to wrong conclusion that has a ripple effect of wrong justice being meted out by the legal system on innocent individuals that relies on such. His…

developing latent fingerprints. Some work better on non-porous surfaces, while others work best developing prints on porous surfaces. Some are destructive preventing testing the object for other forensic evidence while others are non-destructive. In order to make prints visible on porous surfaces, forensic scientists use one of three methods; Silver Nitrate, Ninhydrin and Iodine fuming. These three methods are known to be the most effective ways for developing prints. Silver Nitrate is best…

processing the potential crime/incident scene, I would have my digital forensics team to understand and perform the following tasks: identify for potential digital evidence, understand rules of evidence, prepare for the search and seize digital evidence, and to ensure proper storage/chain of evidence processes are properly documented and followed. Computers and digital media are progressively involved in unlawful exercises. The computer maybe contraband, products of the crime, an instrument of…

the field of Computer Forensics is no longer being put on the back burner. According to many popular news outlets such as Forbes and Newsweek, the field of Computer Science is expected to grow exponentially, leaving the the specialty of Forensic Science the need to adapt with it. As long as technology has been at the base of human fingertips, there’s always been substantial cases of fraud, network security issues, and online identity theft. The field of Computer Forensics didn’t come…

For this specific case, I would need forensic tools that allow me to conduct an efficient incident investigation. The two main software I would use for this forensic investigation case are EnCase by Guidance Software and the Forensic Toolkit by AccessData which both provide hard drive imaging, graphics searching, keyword searches, and MD5 & SHA checksums (Albrecht, n.d.). Other tools I would use including FTK Imager, SANS Investigative Forensic Toolkit, Helix 3 Pro, Volatility, PTK, COFEE, and…

“They're all geniuses with senses of humor, one hottie computer genius (Conlin) and two guys conveying a kind of nerd-slacker chic” states Paul Brownfield in the Los Angeles…
