The main aim of computer forensics is to carry out an organized investigation while keeping a documented chain of evidence to ascertain precisely what took place on a computing gadget and who was in charge of it. The aim of this paper is to establish the most efficient process of gathering forensic evidence. Key Words: Computer forensics, Process, Efficiency The most Efficient Process of Gathering Forensic Evidence Digital forensics is an arm of forensic science that is concerned with the utilization of analysis and investigation techniques to collect and preserve evidence from a special computing gadget in a manner that is appropriate for presentation in a law court. The purpose of computer forensics is to carry out an organized investigation while keeping a documented chain of evidence to ascertain precisely what took place on a computing gadget and who was in charge of it (Newman, 2007). Forensic investigators normally abide by a standard set of processes. Following the actual isolation of the gadget at issue to ensure it cannot be unexpectedly contaminated, detectives create a digital copy of the gadget`s storage media. As soon as the copy of the master copy has been made, it is shut away in a protected or other secure facility to keep its original condition. All probes are conducted on the digital copy (Newman, 2007). Detectives use various technics and proprietary forensic programs to analyze the copy, exploring hidden directories and una...
