2. Agenda
- What is Digital Forensics?
- Types of computer crimes
- Tools
- Procedures
- Cases
- Problems

3. What is digital forensics?
- Also referred to as digital forensic science
- It is a branch of forensic science that
ecompasses the recovery and investigation
of material found in digital devices
- Growth of computers and computer crime in
the 80's
- The Computer Fraud and Abuse Act (1986)
- Today, 95% of crime involves

-Also, can be used to recover text messages
and information from other devices.

6. Tools

7. Forensic Toolkit (FTK)

8. Encase

9. FTK vs Encase
- Both of these programs have similar functions
and accepted in court.
-FTK may be too simple and does not require
much knowledge of forensics.
-Encase costs around $3,600
-FTK costs around $3,000

10. Procedure
-Seizure must adhere to the fourth amendment
-All data must be collect with the use of a write
blocker

11. Enron
-Largest digital forensics investigation to date
-31 terabytes of data
-roughly 8 billion pages of text
-After 5 years, the search yielded enough
information to convict many of those involved
in fraud including members at the top of the
company

12. Love Bug Virus

-Ivanov was lured to the US by inviting him to
interview for a fake company
-He was then arrested
-Facing up to 90 years in prision if
found guilty on all charges

14. Casey Anthony
-Testimony by a computer science expert who
discovered searches for:
-"chloroform"
-"neck breaking"
-"how to make chloroform"
-Could not be linked to Anthony
-Considered Circumstantial and was dismissed

15. Conclusion
-The definition of digital forensics
-Focus
-Software and hardware used
-Procedures
-Cases and problems associated with them
