Chapter 1. Digital Evidence Is Everywhere

Information in this chapter:

• What is digital forensics?
• What is digital evidence?
• How digital evidence is created and stored
Digital evidence is everywhere and permeates every aspect of the average citizen’s life. No matter what you are doing these days, a digital footprint is probably being created that contains some type of digital evidence that can be recovered. Sending an e-mail, writing a document, taking a picture with your digital camera, surfing the web—all of these activities create digital evidence. This chapter will give an overview of what digital evidence is, how it is created, and where it is stored.
