Assignment 2: Securing of Computer Forensics Evidence

Preparing for a computer investigation is just as important as maintaining and documenting the evidence once it is collected. Every computer investigator must know how to use a forensic toolkit. This toolkit can be an investigator’s “best friend” during an investigation and can, ultimately, lead to the prosecution of computer-related crimes.

Discuss the presearch activities that need to be addressed during a computer investigation. Briefly summarize each step.
Describe the equipment present in a forensic toolkit.

Include a reference page in APA style.
