Like automobiles, computers in the beginning seemed like an answer to many dreams - they were great. You could do almost anything and go almost anywhere without leaving the comforts of your home or office. Then someone committed a crime with them. No matter how good, it seems everything can be misused - the computer and the Internet being no exception. There are crimes in which the computer is non-essential to the commission of the crime but merely acts as a record of information concerning the crime. Then there are crimes in which a computer is an essential element in the perpetration of the crime: Internet identity theft, on-line child exploitation, and on-line fraud.
Thus the need for computer forensics: the application of computer investigation and analysis techniques to discover, recover, analyze and present computer based material in such a way that it is useable as evidence in a court of law. Computer forensic specialists discover and recover data that resides in a computer system, including deleted, encrypted, and damaged files. Any or all of this information may useful during discovery, depositions, or actual prosecutions but only if proper forensic techniques are followed.
