Thank you for the lesson, I have a question is there a difference between Digital Forensic Investigation Method and Digital Forensic Technique, if so can you kindly give me examples
That is a great question! Digital investigation methods are individual procedures for doing some task. Techniques are which methods (and in what order) the investigator chooses to do some task. For example, there are many ways (methods) of recovering data from a hard drive. An individual investigator, however, will choose certain methods that they believe will work best for a particular problem. That choice is the technique, and everyone is slightly different even if the underlying methods are the same. You can think of it like dancing. Everyone can learn the same steps (method) of dancing, but great dancers add their own flair (technique) to the dance. Let me know if that's not clear!
@@DFIRScience Thank you but I need more clarification. Can these be the methods, Identify specific objects that store important data for the case, Investigation preparation, seizure isolation, acquisition of data, examination analysis and reporting..... And the techniques can be Preserving the evidence, web activity reconstruction, file signature verification, network device investigation and recovery hidden files.
@@upendodavid4991 Everything you've listed has aspects of both methods and techniques. Remember that a method is a procedure for achieving a goal. But many different methods can produce the same end goal. The technique is which method or combination of methods an investigator chooses to reach the goal. Let's look at one of your examples: "Identify specific objects that store important data for the case." This covers several ideas and needs to be broken down further. * Identify specific objects (data) - There are many methods (procedures) for identifying data structures. - An investigator may choose a combination of methods (technique) to maximize the amount of data identified. * that store case-related data - General methods and standards of court guide what is defined as "case-related" - An investigator's individual knowledge and choice of investigation structure can help support whether something is case-related. * important - Methods (rules) for argument and persuasion. - The investigator's individual writing style and investigation choices can affect whether something is perceived as important. An investigation is built on a large number of methods that an investigator chooses to maximize their outcome. All the things you listed have aspects of both methods and techniques. NOTE: Most people will not differentiate between methods and techniques. All the things you've listed can be colloquially described as "methods". For practical purposes, you can use the terms interchangeably, and people won't mind.
Your video courses on this subject are amazing, so much better than the textbook I am having to read for my current class. Thank you for the time you put into this course!
I would start by looking at some of the documents here: www.swgde.org/documents/published They are specific to the USA but it is a good place to begin.
Thank you for this video! It's a great help for my criminology students. May I ask if do you have any writing materials regarding this matter that we can also make as a reference during class?
@@DFIRScience Materials on The Digital Forensics Investigation, sir. For mostly that I have seen online were quite complicated. Tbh, we've been watching your videos regarding forensic Investigation for it was really a great help. However, due to the lack of connectivity here in our place, our students were having a hard time watching it😅

Great to hear! I hope it's helpful. let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you for this video this very goo to use for my criminology students. Please allow me to share this to my students in my class Cybercrime.
I'm glad it was helpful. Please share with your class and let me know if you/they need anything else.
Im going to be one hell of a detective after this course
Undoubtedly your lecture is very interesting and useful
Thank you for the lessons, if i am asking about the procedure of digital forensics what would you suggest? is there any samples or good standard?
I would start by looking at some of the documents here: www.swgde.org/documents/published
