ICFECI (Institute
of Computer Forensic Examinations Texas . The founder, Dan
James has a long list of achievements in this field, the qualifications and the
experience to carry out computer forensic analysis. He has also installed and
maintained a computer forensics lab for the Federal Public Defender in the
Northern District of Texas besides training staff and hosting eDiscovery
services to help defendants. Another of his achievements is that of being
Founder of the Institute
of Computer Forensic Examinations
It takes years of experience and special knowledge as well as
training to deliver ICFECI’s expert computer forensic analysis services.
The analysis process is carried out under strict controls to identify, collect,
examine and analyze digital data from computer hard disks and then present a report
that supports the defendant’s case.
Typically the process starts with acquisition of the computer
and its hard disk through established legal processes. The next process is that
of evidence collection, which involves extraction of data or making a copy of
the hard disk data without modifying or altering the original contents in any
way. Once data is extracted or copied
the next stage is the all important forensic analysis of computer information.
Analysis identifies anomalies or finds out information related to the case. The
next step would be to document the findings in a format that presents
information in a way that is favorable to the defendant’s case. Analysis helps
reconstruct events, substantiate or refute allegation and mitigate the case against
the defendant. A computer
forensic expert may also have to carry out network forensic involving
internet traffic and unearth data. The task could also encompass email data
acquisition and analysis as may be relevant to the case. In all such instances
it is crucial that the original data is not tampered with and that the examiner
carry out and present analytical findings that are factual and conducive to his
client’s case.
It does require specialized knowledge and training as well as
certifications for an individual to be deemed capable of carrying out forensic
analysis of digital data. Knowledge and experience count but, at the same time,
it also requires a full-fledged lab with tools that will help in data
extraction and analysis. ICFECI possesses both resources and, to its credit,
can also claim to have helped train others in this area.
Should an individual become the defendant in a case where computers are involved, contact ICFECI. With ICFECI's arsenal of forensic tools, the defendant would have a strong defense team member. Testimonials from attorneys and associates are proof enough of ICFECI's competence and trustworthiness.
