Previously, I mentioned that you need to know a lot of stuff related to computer technical stuff. Question is, can you cope with all those yourself as a Computer Forensics Investigator ? The answer is obviously No, nobody can know everything about the technology you are investigating. So, to be a successful Computer Forensics Investigator, you must at least familiar with more than one computing platforms such as Linux, Macintosh, and the current Windows platforms, including the older platforms such as DOS and Windows 9x.
To supplement your knowledge, you may develop and maintain contact with other investigative professionals. Keep track your contacts, and record the names of other professionals with whom you have worked, their area of expertise, the last few projects you worked on together, and their particular contribution.
It maybe helpful by joining as many computer user groups as you can, both in the public and private sectors. Perhaps, build a community that is also among computer forensic experts and other related professionals, and keep in touch with them via e-mail. Find and cultivate professional relationship with people who specialize in technical area different from your own. If you are a Windows Expert, maintain contact with experts in Linux, UNIX, and Macintosh.
Ok, in the next posting, I'll cover in-depth more about Computing Investigations. Please keep your "forensic" eyes on this blog more frequently.

Thank you for the wonderful post. Loved reading it. The rate of crimes on internet and networks is increased to an alarming state by hackers, contractors, intruders and employees. Laws are enforced and computer forensics is practiced to avoid and prevent these crimes. Using computer forensics investigators use latest techniques of science and technology to find some evidence for Computer Investigations. The evidence will be collected for legal purposes when criminal matters are dealt. Investigation by using latest techniques of science and technology along with computer sciences to collect evidence in criminal and civil courts is called computer forensics. Experts use advanced tools to recover deleted, corrupted or damaged files from hard discs, flash drives and other storage media. A complete examination of windows registry, drives, cookies, deleted files, emails and all other relevant locations is done to find any clue to prosecute the case in law courts.
Wow... that's nice comments. Yeah,it is a lot of hard work collecting digital evidence.
