Every day more and more of us are learning to use computers. In the United States alone there are half a billion computers in government, corporations, households and schools. Furthermore, computer usage is growing around the world in technologically advanced countries at the same rate as in the U.S.
Ninety-three percent of all corporate communication in technological societies is done via email and other electronic means. Increasingly, private email and other communication -- as well as planning, banking, individual research and shopping -- is done by computer. As a result, almost every official proceeding, whether it be criminal or civil, requires evidence from computers. Corporations, too, require such evidence to assure that employees are not abusing company time and company assets.
This 49 page booklet, Introduction to Computer Forensics, provides an overview of the science and art of Computer Forensics -- the recovery, interpretation and explanation of computer evidence.
