Presentation Transcript

  1. Computer Forensics

  2. Presented By: • Anam Sattar • Anum Ijaz • Tayyaba Shaffqat • Daniyal Qadeer Butt • Usman Rashid

  3. The Field of Computer Forensics • What is Computer Forensics? • Scientific process of preserving, identifying, extracting, documenting and interpreting data on computers. • used to obtain potential legal evidence. • computer forensic is the application of computer investigation and analysis techniques in the interests  of determining potential legal evidence. • computer forensic is also called digital forensic, network forensic, or cyber forensic.

  4. History of Computer Forensics • 1.father of computer Forensic • "Michael Enderson" • 2.meeting in 1988 (Portland ,Oregon)       Creation of IACIS.

  5. Advantages of Computer Forensics • Ability to search through a massive amount of data • Quickly • Thoroughly • In any language

  6. Disadvantages of Computer Forensics 1.privacy concern 2.data corruption

  7. Importance of computer forensic. • Computer evidence are popular in cases such as fraud, harassment, theft of trade secrets. • Computer forensic experts are often the only ones that can crack technology-based cases. Anyone can turn on a computer and do a basic search for a missing file but not everyone can find a missing file that someone else doesn’t want found. So if you want a wining case, hiring highly qualified experts makes all the difference.

  8. Computer Forensics process

  9. Computer Forensics process • Can be simple or complex depending upon circumstances. • Specialist looks for the information related to the incident. • It may be limited by a search warrant or time.

  10. Gathering of Information

  11. First Step: Gathering of Information • Investigator is guided by search warrant to seize all the material. • Corporate forensics specialist is guided by the availability of equipment. • Despite of provided guidelines, many items are considered for collection & examination.

  12. Items needed to be considered for collection • Computer Media: • Hard Disk • Removable Hard Disk • USB flash drives • Flash memory card • Optical disc

  13. Computers and Peripherals

  14. Computers and Peripherals • Every part of the computer needs to be considered for examination. • & all the equipment must be taken under possession.

  15. Other computer and network hardware

  16. Other computer and network hardware • The computers forensics should also include digital devices like routers, digital cameras, smart phones and other personal mobile devices. • Should also look for computers connected with wireless connection.

  17. Computer software

  18. Computer software • Its is impossible to examine files without the proper application software. • The user of the suspect computer might have installed specialized, custom or a very old software. • So the specialist should also look out for the proper software.

  19. Step 2: In the computer Forensics Lab

  20. In the computer Forensics Lab • When the gathered material are in the forensics lab, the investigation can begin. • It compromises of following steps • Preserve the media • Extract evidence • Analyze computer media • Document results

  21. During this process • We should make sure that • No information is modified. • The original hard disk should never be used to boot a computer. • Specialized tools must be used to maintain the integrity of the data and make sure that it stays in its original form.

  22. Computer Forensics Tools

  23. Computer Forensics Tools • A computer forensic tool refers to software used in the investigations of computer-related crimes, include software for:- • Disk imaging • Forensic media preparation • Mobile devices • String search

  24. The Forensic Recovery Of Digital Evidence: • Workstation • Imaging application • Analysis tools

  25. Fire chief hardware: • Working • How it can use? • Connected with computer via fire wire connection

  26. Fire fly hardware: • It can plug directly into an Eide ,IDE ,SAS or SATA hard disk. • It is more preferable than the road master • easier way of transferring data than road master

  27. Working of computer forenics • The purpose of computer forensics techniques is to search, preserve and analyze information on computer systems to find potential evidence for a trial. • Many of the techniques detectives use in crimescene investigations have digital counterparts but there are also some unique aspects to computer investigations.

  28. Working • Analyzing deleted files • Traking packet routes • Analyzing network traffic

  29. Working • Analyzing internet provider logs • Analyzing chat logs • Analyzing packet trace

  30. working • Analyzing personal mobile devices • Analyzing browser history logs

  31. Conclusion • Computer forensics is very important. • The procedures are important to follow, because doing so ensures evidence will be admitted and suspects will be more likely to face the consequences if found guilty.
