Developing forensic computing tools and techniques within a holistic framework: an Australian approach

This paper details work-in-progress in the development of conceptual framework within which to position diverse approaches to forensic computing investigations. From this framework a suite of forensic computing tools and investigative procedures to aid police and intelligence investigators in the cyber-policing of e-crime and cyber-terrorism are being produced. These tools aid in the detection of online computer misuse and provide technical support in reactive and proactive investigation. The accompanying integrated procedures ensure that digital evidence is acquired methodologically and is presented in legally admissible manner.
