Phases of Computer Forensic Investigation
The different and distinct phases of a computer forensic investigation are
1. Collection – Collection of evidence from the crime scene. The evidence includes Hard disk, laptops, mobile, computer, books and other accessories.
  1. Preservation – Preservation of evidence related to the crime scene. This phase includes imaging of hard disks or other digital devices, labeling the gathered evidence and then securely stores the evidence in a well protected (safe and secure) environment.
  2. Filtering – It can also be called “Analyzing”. It is the process where the evidence (data) is filtered and only the evidence (data) related to the crime is analyzed and rest of the data is not considered for further investigation.
  3. Report – It is the last step in the digital forensics process. It is summarized in the preparation of a report that contains all results, procedures or steps that have been done and document all the methods and tools that are used to collect and extract the evidence. This phase is most crucial in order to avoid questioning of the integrity of the investigation and investigation in the court of law.
