ABSTRACT
COMPUTER FORENSICS METHODOLOGIES
This paper discusses four aspects of computer forensic methodologies that are popular to investigations and data discovery. Computer forensics has become increasingly important with growth in computer intrusions, crimes, and data breaches that are widely reported. A computer forensics investigation reveals information and footprints of those that have accessed, or attempted to access, information they were originally not given permission to have, information indicative of a criminal act, or to follow audit trails of a user’s activities.
With the increasing use of electronic devices for correspondence, file sharing, communication, and financial transactions, forensic investigation of computer activities is of increasing significance. This paper observes popular methodologies for computer forensics and examines their practical application in the field with stories of success and failure and specifies the advantages and disadvantages of examined methodologies.
