The overriding objective of the computer forensic practitioner must always be
the analysis and presentation of computer based material in such a way that it
can be used as evidence in a court of law. Should any action performed during
the examination obviate the use of the material "….as evidence in a court of
law", then the practitioner has failed in the task.
In order to achieve the objective it is necessary for the computer forensic
practitioner to have knowledge and understanding of a diverse range of subject
matter, including the following.
-
Forensic principles for the handling and examination of suspect material
-
Legal processes and rules of evidence leading to the acceptance of materials in
court
-
Computer systems and their component parts
-
Operating systems, data handling and storage mechanisms
-
Investigation techniques
-
Case note reporting procedures and court report writing
-
Courtroom procedure and presentation
