Forensic acquiring and analysis

In this paper I will discuss computer evidence. The law enforcement agencies are at the cross road of the new technology. These days, some crimes are committed by using computer and often the offender is located miles away from the victim. That kind of crime (fraud, threat, DoS and other) is very hard to resolve. Investigators have to perform searches on computer. To make sure that the searches are the perfect copy of the seize computer, they have to create forensic computer evidence.
