Computer forensics investigators use various technologies to analyze digital evidence from crimes involving computers and mobile devices. Some key tools mentioned are Forensic Toolkit (FTK) and Mobile Phone Examiner Plus. FTK is a court-approved digital forensics software that can efficiently search, filter, analyze, index and extract relevant evidence from large amounts of data. Mobile Phone Examiner Plus is a standalone tool that can extract and analyze data from over 7000 mobile phone models, including different operating systems, to help investigators efficiently examine cell phone evidence. These technologies help computer forensics experts remain effective in solving sophisticated cyber and technology-related crimes.

1. How Technology Used
in Computer Forensics
Investigation

2. Technology and the internet have provided a wide
platform for cyber as well as white collar crimes. Crime
involving the use of computers and technology is rising
in unprecedented proportions. In light of this, the field
of forensic investigation has introduced cutting edge
tools and equipments in order to remain at par with the
criminals. From retinal scanning to tracing evidence on
internet servers, computer forensics has improvised
technology to solve sophisticated crimes involving the
use of modern day resources like computers, laptops,
cell phones and tablets.

3. While the acquisition of digital
evidence and the process of presenting
it at courts is a complex task carried
out by expert Computer Forensic
Investigators, there are countless
tools available to aid the procedure.
However, among the wide range of
cool technologies available, forensic
experts rely on software and
equipments that are court –incited
platforms and helps them investigate
efficiently and effectively.

4. Forensic Toolkit (FTK)
FTK or Forensic toolkit is a digital
forensic tool approved by court and
designed for analyzing vast repository of
data with uncontested speed. It is
characterized by stability, ease of use
and speed which makes it reliable as a
source of digital evidence. It efficiently
searches, filters, analyzes, indexes and
points out relevant facts and evidence
pertaining to the case. Owing to the
comprehensive architecture, FTK can be
used for collaborative analysis and web
based case management.

5. Mobile Phone Examiner
Mobile Phone Examiner Plus is a stand-
alone investigative solution for digital cell
phone forensic analysis. It presents a
unique approach to cell phone data
extraction thus easily zeroing on the key
facts and evidence. Plus, it supports the
analysis of more than 7000 mobile phone
models, including GSM/CDMA devices and
using versatile technologies like
Blackberry, Android, iOS and Windows.
MPE+ has robust tools built into its
