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.
