Methods used by practitioners are still being developed and
tested today.
While attempts have been made to create a methodology on
how to conduct these types of investigations, the techniques can still
vary from investigator to investigator agency to agency, corporation to
corporation, and situation to situation.
Many of the existing methodologies, books, articles, and literature on
the topic are based on a variety of research methods, or interpretations
on how the author suggests one should proceed.
The field of computer
forensics is so new that the American Academy of Forensic Sciences is
only now beginning to accept it as a discipline under its general
section for forensic sciences. I suspect that cyber crime investigations
and the computer forensic methodologies are still in their infancy
stages and that the definitive manual has yet to be written.
In the
following pages and chapters areas of difficulties misconceptions, and
flaws in the cyber investigative methodology will be discussed in an
attempt to bridge the gaps. This book is by no means intended to be the
definitive book on cyber crime investigations.
