👉 Detective computing, also known as forensic computing or digital forensics, is a specialized field that involves the identification, preservation, extraction, analysis, and presentation of digital evidence. It utilizes advanced computational techniques to investigate cybercrimes, data breaches, and other digital incidents. This process often includes recovering deleted files, analyzing network traffic, examining email and messaging histories, and tracing digital footprints to reconstruct events and establish causality. Detective computing requires a deep understanding of computer systems, operating environments, and digital data structures, as well as proficiency in various software tools and methodologies to ensure the integrity and admissibility of evidence in legal proceedings.
