Some Computer Forensics BasicsWritten by Allen Butler
Continued from page 1
Deleted data is data that has not been saved on computer or has been deleted from computer. You can't access this information just through normal use of computer. It requires special software or special methods to go into hard drive and look at it. When a file is deleted from a computer, it isn't actually removed from hard drive. The file is kept in same place as it always was. What is really happening is that computer is being told that this file does not exist, and it will act as if it doesn't. You can't look at file if you are just looking through saved data, because computer doesn't see it as saved data. However, if you skip over what computer thinks about data, and only look at raw data, you will be able to see file still there. There are some difficulties with this, though. Because computer doesn't think that file is there any more, it has no problem putting new data where deleted data was. If this happens then file will be erased and you will no longer be able to look at it. Sometimes new data doesn't completely write over deleted data though, and an investigator can sometimes still see traces of deleted data on hard drive. It is similar to when you tape over an old VHS tape, sometimes old show or whatever you had taped before will pop up every now and then because new taping isn't total. These traces can give investigator an idea of what computer user had deleted, and can sometimes give cues as to why it was deleted. - Computer Forensics Growing As computers continue to become more important in America, computer forensics will continue to grow as well. Looking at data can lead to information that would never be found through other methods of investigation, and it proves very useful in a number of different criminal cases.
