Computer Forensics Seminar for Week 1: Digital Evidence, Computer Crime, Technology and Law WELCOME to this module on Computer Forensics. Over the next few weeks, we will be exploring, thinking about, and discussing ideas concerning the principles and practice of computer forensics. In particular, we will be covering topics including digital evidence and computer crime; technology and law; the investigative process; investigative reconstruction; digital evidence in the courtroom; techniques for discovering digital evidence; responding to electronic incidents; tracking communications through networks; understanding electronic media; Windows™ and UNIX™ system forensics; digital evidence on the Internet; investigating computer intrusions; sex offenders on the Internet; criminal profiling; and investigations of cyber-stalking. As digital criminals have become more sophisticated, security-related incidents have become substantially more diverse in nature, and their impact on society is increasingly more destructive. Vulnerabilities within the information infrastructure have potentially profound consequences for the government, corporations, and millions of individuals. Detection of and response to digital incidents are vital components of modern information security programs at both macro and micro levels. Operating in today’s dynamic computing environments, the forensic investigator must be able to detect and counter cyber-crime effectively. This module will provide students with opportunities to study, understand, and use the latest developments and best practices in computer forensics. Topics...

Digital evidence is application of computer analysis techniques to determine the legal evidence 
of case. Evidence is of various kinds such as computer fraud, stealing of data, child pornography, 
disputes of ownership etc. Privacy issues are related to stealing of data, hacking etc.   During

systems and server exists.  In order to judging various type of user who are familiar with system 
or server, their existence will be enough to determine if an alibi is solid. That user should be 
easily explain how simple or complex it would be to modify data on their computer. It should be 
managed by the agency called “Federal Emergency Management Agency” or in short called 
FEMA which makes laws against digital evidence and privacy issues.  
Different type of digital evidence as below:  
1.Email Evidence:  Such as any threat sent to the mail, which a user has clicked and then the 
hacker program starts running on that computer, because of which the data being sent to another 
server from the user local computer as he first connects to the computer. 
2. Firewall Evidence:  Any attack which has not been blocked by you even after the warning of 
firewall, you must consider the warning so that you can prevent your system. Firewalls run on 
the secure networks, which make it to work under secure conditions.

its personal assets or business functions.
