Computer Forensics   Tweet  

Computer Forensics is the study of computer systems in order to preserve, extract, analyse and report any data related to malpractice, fraud, any kind of crime or malicious activity.

Computer Forensics include the study of volatile memory (RAM), the permanent memory (ROM), hard disks and other magnetic and optical storage media.

Wikipedia defines Computer Forensics as " a branch of forensic science pertaining to legal evidence found in computers and digital storage mediums. Computer forensics is also known as digital forensics. The goal of computer forensics is to explain the current state of a digital artefact. The term digital artefact can include a computer system, a storage medium (such as a hard disk or CD-ROM), an electronic document (e.g. an email message or JPEG image) or even a sequence of packets moving over a computer network. The explanation can be as straightforward as "what information is here?" and as detailed as "what is the sequence of events responsible for the present situation?"

Computer forensics extends to several other areas. Here at Strathclyde Forensics we refer to that umbrella of disciplines as Digital Forensics. Browsing through our menus, you can see all the different areas where digital forensics apply.

 Strathclyde Forensics has the know-how to cover a broad spectrum of these areas. We achieve this by introducing a network of associates, specializing in different fields.
