Informática forense – el caos de la manipulación de la información digital Computer forensics - the chaos of digital information manipulation

Abstract

Computer Forensics is a science that studies and analyzes a large amount of evidence of computer crimes; thus, the computer forensic needs to be a professional with technical knowledge and use of specialized tools. The forensic analysis involves the judicial expert who obtains and supports forensic evidence, which is protected through forms and methods. It shows the scope through forensic analysis, the collection of computational evidence, what information to analyze and who intervenes during a judicial process, and what the IOCE (International Organization On Computer Evidence) suggests as principles for the management and collection of computational evidence. It details what is Forensic science, the devices to analyze, preserve information, verify those involved and under what computer and legal principles. The purpose of this investigation is to highlight Computer Forensics and detail the process to follow until reaching a legal trial through an expert and forensic analysis. The sub-classification of the available tools is exposed: collection, monitoring, document marking and Encase; that indicates the study form of the information that has been manipulated; Through these tools, the use is guided according to what the information is going to be manipulated for a judicial process. The information that was investigated was obtained from a qualitative descriptive paradigm and with a documentary strategy. Forensic Informatics is projected as an interdisciplinary challenge to support the administration of justice and as a guideline to clarify fraud committed in organizations
