Computer Forensics is legal evidence found in computers and anything else pertaining to digital storage devices. The subject of computer forensics is to obtain, analyze and recover the facts that pertain to the case at hand. Computer forensics is essentially the figuring out of, “what happened, when it happened, how it happened, and who was involved.” The main reason for Computer Forensics is to find the “root cause” of a computer that is not working properly or has been used to commit a crime.
There are typically two types of computer forensics investigations; one being where the computer was used to commit a crime, or was used in the wrong way from its intended use. The other investigation is when the computer is on the receiving end of the crime, and the computer has been hacked or has had something stolen from it.
