Abstract: Recent development in the field of information technology has raised new challenges and problems for the prevention and control of computer crime. Criminal exploitation of digital technologies requires not only research and development to counter these crimes but to also implement strong security policies. Proactive stance on issues such as network intrusion are extremely important but when criminal activity does take place, the field of compute forensics can be invaluable in addressing the problems in such complicated crimes. This article discusses some of the key tenets in the field of forensic computing and makes the case for a need to approach computer forensics as a science. The process view of a forensic investigation is also discussed.
