Computer Forensic First Responder Tools

The need for computer forensics arises from the disturbing increase in the number of computer crimes that are devoted annually. After a computer system has been violated and an interruption has been detected, there is a need for a computer forensics investigation to follow. This paper addresses computer forensic analysis tools and their use in a legal setting. The goal of this paper is to provide someone who is new to the field and looking for basic investigation concepts and how to use a specific tool. This paper examines the computer forensics first responder and shows that open source tools may more clearly and comprehensively meet the guidelines than closed source tools.
