investigation of material found in digital devices related to cybercrime. The term digital forensics was first used as a synonym for computer forensics. Since then, it has expanded to cover the investigation of any devices that can store digital data. Although the first computer crime was reported in 1978, followed by the Florida computers act, it wasn’t until the 1990s that it became a recognized term. It was only in the early 21st century that national policies on digital forensics emerged. Digital forensics is the process of identifying, preserving, analyzing, and documenting digital evidence. This is done in order to present evidence in a court of law when required. </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-eff8123 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="eff8123" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <em>“Digital forensics is the process of uncovering and interpreting electronic data.

Under those circumstances, <a href="https://bestaccreditedcolleges.org/articles/computer-forensics-analyst-job-description-duties-and-requirements.html">a digital forensic investigator’s role</a> is to recover data like documents, photos, and emails from computer hard drives and other data storage devices, such as zip and flash drives, with deleted, damaged, or otherwise manipulated.</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-225e210 elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button" data-id="225e210" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="button.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-button-wrapper"> <a class="elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm elementor-animation-grow" href="/train-certify/computer-hacking-forensic-investigator-chfi/"> <span class="elementor-button-content-wrapper"> <span class="elementor-button-text"> Become a Computer Forensics Investigator</span> </span> </a> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-d1461a7 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="d1461a7" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">History of Digital Forensics</h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-aa78aab elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="aa78aab" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">How Is Digital Forensics Used in an Investigation?</h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-e38a5b3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="e38a5b3" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> Looking back at the history of digital forensics, law enforcement during that age had a minimal understanding of the application of digital forensic techniques. However, during the 1970s and 1980s, the forensics team were mostly representatives of federal law enforcement agencies with a computer background. The first area of concern for law enforcement was data storage, as most documentation happened digitally. Undeniably, seizing, retaining, and analyzing the documentation was a long task for the authorities. In this situation, the FBI launched the Magnet Media program in 1984, which was the first official digital forensics program. Following this, other techniques to identify cybercriminals when they intrude into computer systems were developed. In 1986, <a href="https://www.giac.org/paper/gsec/2300/honeypots-weighing-costs-benefits/103964">Cliff Stoll</a>, a Unix System Administrator at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory, created the first honeypot trap. Eventually, digital forensics picked up professionally due to the spread of child pornography online. The war between Iraq and Afghanistan also led to the demand for digital forensic investigation. Concurrently, digital forensics played a major role in extracting the evidential data from the digital assets gathered by the U.S. troops during the war. In 2006, the U.S. implemented a mandatory regime for <a href="https://www.hsdl.org/?view&did=701380">electronic discovery</a> in its Rules for Civil Procedure. </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-0526309 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="0526309" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>Digital footprint is the information about a person on the system, such as the webpages they have visited, when they were active, and what device they were using. By following the digital footprints, the investigator will retrieve the data critical to solving the crime case. To name a few –Matt Baker, in 2010, Krenar Lusha, in 2009, and more cases were solved with the help of digital forensics.</p><p>Cyber forensic investigators are experts in investigating encrypted data using various types of software and tools. There are many upcoming techniques that investigators use depending on the type of cybercrime they are dealing with. Cyber investigators’ tasks include recovering deleted files, cracking passwords, and finding the source of the security breach. Once collected, the evidence is then stored and translated to make it presentable before the court of law or for police to examine further. The role of cyber forensics in criminal offenses can be understood with a case study: cold cases and cyber forensics</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-ab21529 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="ab21529" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">Recent Case Study –</h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-b1fefa3 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="b1fefa3" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p><em>Thousands of digital devices that have been seized by police as evidence for alleged crimes, including terrorism and sexual offenses, are sitting in storage in a growing backlog that investigators are struggling to tackle.</em></p><p>In the lack of efficient resources to analyze the evidence, the PA news agency has found that 12,122 devices (includes phones, tablets, and computers) are awaiting examination across 32 forces.

forensic investigators face today is the cloud environment. While cloud computing is incredibly beneficial to an organization, they are also challenging for forensics investigators. The basic principle that the cloud is somebody else’s computer holds some truth, but huge server farms host most data. Since the cloud is scalable, information can be hosted in different locations, even in different countries. This makes it extremely difficult to gather accurate and trusted evidence in a case because establishing a proper chain of custody becomes nearly impossible. In addition, the <a href="https://searchcloudsecurity.techtarget.com/tip/Digital-forensic-challenges-in-a-cloud-computing-environment">jurisdiction of the data</a> must be considered since different laws apply to depend on where it is located.</p> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-eaeb35b elementor-widget elementor-widget-video" data-id="eaeb35b" data-element_type="widget" data-settings="{"youtube_url":"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=zVkCkmG2Uqc&t=314s&ab_channel=ECCouncil","video_type":"youtube","controls":"yes"}" data-widget_type="video.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <div class="elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline"> <div class="elementor-video"></div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-4cf6dbd elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading" data-id="4cf6dbd" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="heading.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <h2 class="elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default">How Can CHFI Help You Become a Skilled Cyber Forensic Investigation Analyst?</h2> </div> </div> <div class="elementor-element elementor-element-dd151ef elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor" data-id="dd151ef" data-element_type="widget" data-widget_type="text-editor.default"> <div class="elementor-widget-container"> <p>The rising significance of digital forensics is creating an increased demand for computer forensic talent.
