THE COMPUTER FORENSICS HISTORY

COMPUTER FORENSICS 
Another name for Digital Forensics, Cyber Forensics, is the study of digital evidence utilized in court processes to determine the root cause of an occurrence.
COMPUTER FORENSICS HISTORY
During the late 1970s and early 1980s, computer forensics was born. Forensics in the discipline of digital forensics has made tremendous progress since then. Because of the threats posed by cyberattacks, several laws and jurisprudence get established. As a result of technological advancements, criminal behaviour has risen significantly.
 THE PROCEDURE/PROCESS
Because computer forensics involves the study of both computers and networks, it is called “computer forensics.” Analyzing and reporting on digital data unlawfully obtained from a computer or network are all part of this procedure. A computer system’s important personal or business information makes it vulnerable to assault from any angle. Most cyber assaults are motivated by financial gain.
Federal standards on data seizure govern the acquisition of digital evidence. Therefore, investigators are held to a rigorous responsibility to inspect, seize, and replicate any specified data or documents relevant to the case. Protecting the privacy and preventing evidence from being tampered with are the goals of federal law standards. Furthermore, data recovery is carried out using specialized computer forensics equipment. All of the evidence that is found is examined.
Computer Forensics’ Difficulties
Technological advancements have enabled hackers to pose a threat in various ways, including identity theft, cyberbullying, data leaking, and malware assaults. Unfortunately, these crooks are constantly one step ahead of the forensic professionals, posing severe worries and obstacles. These difficulties are divided into three categories: technical, legal, and resource difficulties.
“technical hurdles” refers to the many media formats, encryption, and anti-forensics that impede the investigation process.
Jurisdictional difficulties and privacy concerns are only a few of the legal issues that arise due to the absence of unified international law.
The vast amounts of data that must be processed and the fact that cyber investigation requires a lot of time and resources are both resource problems.
