Computer forensics, still a rather new discipline in computer security, focuses on finding digital evidence after a computer security incident has occurred . The goal of computer forensics is to do a structured investigation and find out exactly what happened on a digital system, and who was responsible for it.
This document provides a new Digital Forensics and Incident Response (DFIR) framework dedicated to Operational Technology. This framework expands the traditional technical steps of IT Incident Response by giving an Incident Response procedure based on event escalation and provides techniques for OT Digital Forensics.
Computer forensics2 is the practice of collecting, analysing and reporting on digital data in a way that is legally admissible. It can be used in the detection and prevention of crime and in any dispute where evidence is stored digitally.
We define computer forensics as the discipline that combines elements of law and computer science to collect and analyze data from computer systems, networks, wireless communications, and storage devices in a way that is admissible as evidence in a court of law. Why is Computer Forensics Important?
“The use of scientifically derived and proven methods toward the preservation, collection, validation, identification, analysis, interpretation, documentation and presentation of digital evidence derived from digital sources for the purpose of facilitating or furthering the reconstruction of events found to be criminal, or helping to an ti ci pa...
Digital forensics helps combat the massive surge in cybercrime. Identity thieves, child pornographers, and “old school” criminals are all using and leveraging technology to facilitate their illegal activities. Finally, it’s being used in the workplace to help protect both companies and government entities from the misuse of their computer ...
To conduct a computer investigation, you first need to obtain proper authorization unless existing policies and procedures provide incident response authorization. Then you need to conduct a thorough assessment of the situation and define a course …
It starts with the fundamentals and introduction of cyber forensics with real-time cybercrime case studies and scenarios. The book then deep dives into the investigating process on various …
Abstract: This chapter deals with two key terms: cybercrime and digital (computer) forensics. The first part of the chapter introduces the term “cybercrime”, defines and explains the categories and the anatomy of different types of attacks as the main form of cybercrime and provides typical examples. In addition, some characteristic
