Excellent use of literature
Outstanding undergraduate IT dissertation
The computer criminal has had a field day for the last two decades, committing crimes on unsuspecting
victims, confident in the knowledge they wouldn’t be caught. The saviour is here adeptly titled forensic
computing, the patrolling Bobbies of the cyber world, eager to pick up the trail of criminal cyber activity
and provide digital evidence for a court of law. So how does this new field run? What are the common
activities of day-to-day investigations of computer crime? This research is focused on providing an overview
of what forensic computing entails and some of the current issues surrounding it. One such issue is the lack of
resources faced by law authorities in funding a full-scale forensic computing department. This focus will be
explored as well as highlighting areas such as judges seemingly keen to dismiss computer crime as a low priority,
through various misconceptions and the lack of technical knowledge available in the courtroom. Hopefully by reading
this paper, the new field of forensic computing will be explained to the reader and its importance to society worldwide.
