Forensic experts must exercise considerable caution when approaching digital evidence, since there is some legal argument that any opened computer file has already been tampered with, changing its content and thus the quality of the information (evidence) it provides. Developing and maintaining professional competence is necessary to assure:
all the appropriate evidence is recognized and collected,
irrelevant materials are also recognized and discarded, and
accurate assessment of the data’s meaning in relation to evidentiary requirements.
Improper handling or examination can be sufficient to eradicate, damage or alter digital evidence. Failure to take the proper precautions or demonstrate suitable professional acumen can not only challenge, but potentially ruin, a digital report or presentation. Thus, the forensic practitioner’s job description exceeds mere expert collection of evidence.
However, an evidentiary trail exists for every activity launched online, every digital step taken, every document drafted or deleted. Each can be tracked with relative assurance by using digital forensics.
Most essential is:
collecting and securing data without corrupting or compromising their content,
assuring no critical data is withheld.
exercising due diligence and appropriate professional skill during data analysis, interpretation, documentation and preservation, and
developing suitable electronic disclosure strategies for courtroom application, involving collaboration with attorneys and paralegals.

Typical Cases Requiring Forensic Assistance
Digital forensics provide attorneys a verifiable avenue of document discovery and attribution.
In legal cases, digital forensics have valuable applications for both the prosecution and the defense. Digital evidence is useful for a significant range of circumstances; among the most pertinent are:
Banking/embezzlement/securities theft.
Elder abuse/exploitation.
Excessive/illegal phishing.
Fraud/illicit use of eCommerce.
Hacking/malware/spreading of viruses.
Illegal online purchases/related theft.
Stalking/cyber-stalking.
Each of these crimes requires recovery of specialized data and materials. Digital forensic experts need to be adept at the entire range of these cases.
In commercial law, digital forensics generates solutions for detecting and recovering stolen business secrets or customers. While prosecutors can use digital forensics to attribute guilt to alleged cyber-criminals, legal defendants can similarly apply electronic discovery to demonstrate their innocence. Disproving oppositional claims can save individuals or corporations money, reputation, and incarceration.

To understand when and where to spend money on digital forensics, it is important to understand first what you are buying, then understand when it should be used. Stage 1 Acquisition (collection) is covered in Digital Forensics – Part 1.
“The evidence recovered is analyzed to reconstruct events or actions and to reach conclusions, work that can often be performed by less specialised staff. When an investigation is complete the data is presented, usually in the form of a written report, in lay persons’ terms.” M Reith, C Carr, G Gunsch, “An examination of digital forensic models”. International Journal of Digital Evidence.

Stage 1 Acquisition (collection) “involves creating an exact sector level duplicate (or “forensic duplicate”) of the media, often using a write blocking device to prevent modification of the original. Both acquired image and original media are hashed (using SHA-1 or MD5) and the values compared to verify the copy is accurate.” Maarten Van Horenbeeck. “Technology Crime Investigation”, May 2008. Targeted forensic collections can also occur that net specific data such as email. Targeted collections are the most common and often the most useful scenario.
