Evidence
- Types of Evidence: real/tangible, original, hearsay, and testimony
- Characteristics of Digital Evidence: timing, hidden/latent, and potential destruction or damage
- Rules of Evidence: admissible, authentic, complete, reliable, and based on experience
Digital Forensics Process
- 1. Identify and Seize: identify digital devices and seize them for further investigation
- 2. Analyze the Data: use software and processes to extract information from captured devices
- 3. Investigation: investigate the extracted evidence and point out the culprit
- 4. Complete Report: create a report detailing the steps taken, tools used, and outcomes
- 5. Critique the Case: self-evaluate the case to identify weaknesses and improve for future cases
Digital Ethics
- Definition: the area of ethics that deals with the collection of laws and moral principles that regulate digital activities
- Importance: ethics plays a crucial role in digital forensics, involving the analysis of sensitive information
- Code of Ethics: digital forensics professionals must follow a set of codes to successfully execute investigations
