Libforensics For Developing Digital Forensics Applications

Abstract

The evolution of computers, increase in cybercrime and the demand by law requirements for the production of admissible forensic reports require the application of digital/computer technologies and require the development of a methodology to systematically search digital devices for significant evidence. Cyber and computer fraud are growing by the passing of the day with less than two percent of the reported cases resulting in confidence leading to securing justice and or convictions. This study explores the digital forensic applications and ease of integration of the existing forensic applications. It was the view of the researcher that there exists a gap of monolithic in forensic applications and the cyber universe. One requires different applications to conduct a forensic investigation into a crime revolving around different digital universes. The study proposed research into the development of a single enterprise digital forensic application capable of examining all aspects of the universe regardless and producing an admissible report in the court of law Keywords: Forensic, Cybercrime, Monolithic, Digital universe, Cyberspace, Cyber ecosystem BOOK Chapter ǀ Research Nexus in IT, Law, Cyber Security & Forensics.
