Uncovering the

Invisible: A Closer
Look at Cyber
Forensics and the
Types of Computer
Crimes
Introduction
Cyber Forensics is the practice of
collecting, analyzing, and
preserving electronic evidence to
investigate and prevent
cybercrimes. This presentation will
provide an overview of cyber
forensics and the types of
computer crimes that can be
uncovered through its use.
Types of Cyber Crimes
There are various types of cyber crimes
that can be investigated through cyber
forensics, including hacking, phishing,
identity theft, and malware attacks.
Each type of crime poses different
challenges for investigators and
requires different techniques to uncover
the evidence.
Collecting Digital Evidence

To collect digital evidence,

investigators use specialized tools and
techniques to image the suspect's
hard drive, recover deleted files, and
analyze internet activity. The evidence
collected must be handled carefully to
ensure its admissibility in court.
Analyzing Digital Evidence

Analyzing digital evidence involves examining

the data to identify patterns, timelines, and
relationships between files. Investigators use
hash values to verify the integrity of the data
and may use specialized software to recover
hidden or encrypted files.
Legal Considerations
There are many legal considerations
when it comes to cyber forensics,
including privacy laws, chain of custody,
and the admissibility of evidence in
court. Investigators must follow strict
procedures to ensure that the evidence
they collect is legally admissible.
 Conclusion
Cyber forensics is an essential tool in the fight against
cybercrime. By collecting and analyzing digital evidence,
investigators can uncover the invisible and bring
cybercriminals to justice. However, it is important to follow
proper procedures and legal considerations to ensure that the
evidence collected is admissible in court.
