Digital Forensics Investigation
Introduction
The forensic investigation involves the application of digital evidence in the revelation or unearthing of various criminal activities in the court of law. Most law enforcement agencies such as the FBI have developed various sophisticated programs for the examination of computer evidence in criminal cases. Computer forensic investigation process has a diverse influence on the outcome of the investigation of the criminal cases because of the selection of inappropriate investigative procedure culminating into incomplete or missing evidence. There can be inconclusive outcome through bypassing of one step of the forensic investigative process leading to invalid conclusions. It is important for the computer forensic investigator to properly perform their duties as their work is a subject of scrutiny by the judiciary. Various computer forensic investigation models are making some models specific for certain scenarios with some being too general or detailed. It is vital for a forensic investigator to adopt an appropriate investigation model as it is difficult for a junior investigator to be acquainted with a suitable investigative model. There are policies and the procedural developments guiding the computer forensic investigation discipline as the department requires highly trained personnel, funding unit, and the support from management. All the requirements are attained through the development of a comprehensive training program for the investigators, including perfect digital evidence recovery techniques and maximum efficiency. The purpose of this response is to deliberate on the plan, procedure and the process involved in the computer digital forensic investigation.
Response 1: Description of the plan to conduct the investigation
As a part of the investigation team in the capacity of the computer digital forensic expert, my role in the investigation is the preparation of the digital investigative plan to enhance the chronological gathering of evidence including the subsequent forensic analysis of the digital data and electronic. The plan should support and justify the application of the forensic technique and approach required to perform the investigations. There should be availability and the description of the required resources in conducting a digital forensic investigation including the group skill set and required tools. In this phase, there should be an outline of the approach for evidence identification and acquisition that would happen for the preparation of the investigators to review the digital evidence in various investigations. The outline should be scheduled and the steps taken during the analysis phase, making the assumptions in the creation of the genuine investigative description plan (Alawadhi, Read, Marrington & Franqueira, 2015). The phase is the preliminary stage for the digital forensic investigation approach, and a perfect model for the investigators to use in performing their duties is ascertained. It inculcates the four specific stages of a forensic process such as the collection, examination, analysis, and report used in the delivery is possible results of the entire computer digital forensic...
