The goal of the computer forensics is to provide information about how the crime happened, why and who is involved in the crime in any legal proceeding by using the computer forensic tools. Data Destruction – Destroy any evidence before someone gets a chance to find it E.g. Disk wiping, wipe, srm, evidence eliminator, necrofile . Data Misdirection …show more content…

Within this field of study, numerous definitions of anti-forensics abound. One of the more widely known and accepted definitions comes from Dr. Marc Rogers of Purdue University. Dr. Rogers uses a more traditional “crime scene” approach when defining anti-forensics. “Attempts to negatively affect the existence, amount and/or quality of evidence from a crime scene, or make the analysis and examination of evidence difficult or impossible to conduct.”[1] A more abbreviated definition is given by Scott Berinato in his article entitled, The Rise of Anti-Forensics. “Anti-forensics is more than technology. It is an approach to criminal hacking that can be summed up like this: Make it hard for them to find you and impossible for them to prove they found you.”[2] Neither author takes into account using anti-forensics methods to ensure the privacy of one's personal …show more content…

The main focus of this project was to provide a means of education to digital forensic investigations to develop better and efficient tools to overcome the anti forensic packages. The future of this project could be extended to implement many other anti forensic techniques and features like encryption, steganography and even targeting computer forensic tool vulnerabilities. It would be a disaster if all these techniques are combined and implemented. The future developments could also make use of other digital forensic tools like Prodiscover, Encase and also new computer forensic tools being developed currently in the industry. Defeating cross view rootkit detection tools in a generic

Innocence Project Report on the Case of Curtis Jasper Moore Tommy Warrick Drake University According to the Innocence Project one of the greatest causes of wrongful conviction is due to eyewitness misidentification. They state that 72% of cases where defendants have been exonerated eyewitness misidentification played a role. Even though eyewitness testimony has been proven inaccurate numerous times, it can still be the decisive evidence in a court of law. This is because the law views the human memory as a camcorder which can record and repeat whatever it sees.

Forensic Science is evidence that typically comes from sources like fingerprints, bodily fluids, and bullets. In “Forensic Science: Evidence, Clues, and Investigation” written by Andrea Campbell, she explains how forensic science can make or break a criminal case. Campbell has given readers many reasons to believe that forensic science is without a doubt an important piece of evidence to present at trial. Some reasons Andrea Campbell explains are that it can help narrow down suspects in order to find the criminal responsible for a crime, and that it can provide physical evidence that can provide further information about a case.

The Lindbergh Kidnapping Crime has always been a part of the world we live in. Whether it be theft, murder, or kidnapping, it has been and always will be a huge factor in society. With crime, comes forensics; the “behind the scenes” work in all cases. Forensics is described as “relating to the use of scientific knowledge or methods in solving crimes or relating to, used in, or suitable to a court of law” (Crime Museum 1). Dubbed as “The Crime of the Century”, The Lindbergh kidnapping has affected the criminal justice system in more areas than one.

“CSI: Crime Scene Investigation” was not the first crime show to hit the TV screens and it certainly is not the last. In response to its popularity and growing franchise, a controversial term was introduced in courts and through the media. It is called the CSI effect. The CSI effect has been closely defined as a trend that claims, through watching crime-related programmes such as “CSI” or “Law and Order”, the public, mainly people completing jury service, have their views about forensic evidence influenced. This primarily creates preconceived beliefs which allegedly affects the criminal justice system in many ways.

Forensic science has contributed to wrongful convictions and the correction of wrongful conviction by bringing to surface the issue of how involved flawed forensics has made an impact. In Gary Dotson case, false claims were made involving the forensics that was used throughout the case, in such cases as blood comparison and analysis of hairs. The correction to the field of forensics associated with allowing wrongful convictions to be overturned because it reveals the flaws in forensics that previous cases used to implement and by demonstrating how certain types of forensics are unreliable and invalid (Garrett, 2011). There are a few cases that the forensics completed mislead the jury because they were not showing the truth but rather flaws.

Improvements in Forensic Science and their Impact When giving the direction in which Forensic science is heading in the future and its effective on the criminal justice system and the law enforcement community, a simple definition is necessary to start. Forensic science is the applying of science to the criminal and civil aspects of law. It is the gathering of an item, known or unknown, to be analyzed, in a procedural and scientific manner, establishing its evidentiary value in a legal proceeding. The evolution of Forensic science or what can be said to be the embryotic stage of forensics can be traced back to Archimedes (287–212 BC) who by the request of his king used the law of displacement to determine the purity of a supposedly pure gold crown ("Forensic Science," N.D.).

TRADITIONAL (DEAD) VS LIVE DIGITAL FORENSICS Traditional (Dead) Forensics In order forensic acquisition to be more reliable it must be performed on computers that have been powered off. This type of forensics is known as ‘traditional’ or 'dead ' forensic acquisition. The whole process of dead acquisition, including search and seizure flowchart and acquisition of digital evidence flowchart is shown on Figure 2 and Figure 3 respectively.
