What's Forensic Computing

Obtaining digital evidence and making it presentable in a court of law.

Fraudsters, Peadophiles, hackers, virus programmers, they'll all leave a trace of their crimes on a computer - sometimes hidden deep and corrupted. My degree teaches me how to find these pieces of evidence without ruining the volitile data and create a court case which can't be picked apart because i've failed to adhere to the code of practice because I haven't got the expertise.
