Abstract
Computer forensic technology with the encapsulation of prevention issues could protect data and information from hackers. Despite being a new field, great advancement have been made in computer crime investigation to protect information and data. Powerful evidence processing tools have been developed and there is a move towards standardization. The purpose of this paper is to generate an interest in and awareness of computer forensics by providing some basic information. This paper emphasizes the role of computers in crime and to give guidance for dealing with computers in that role. The fundamental purpose of categories discussed in this paper is to emphasize the role of computers in crime and to give guidance for dealing with computers in that role. These categories can be used to develop procedures for dealing with digital evidence and investigating crimes involving computers. These guidelines are still in their early stages, especially with regards to digital evidence.
