目前的研究是一项试点研究,试图增加有关计算机取证固有问题的知识。这项研究包括一项基于互联网的调查,要求受访者确定计算机取证中的五大问题。60名受访者使用自由格式的文本字段回答了调查。结果表明,教育/培训和认证是报告最多的问题(18%),缺乏资金是报告最少的问题(4%)。这些发现与一项类似的执法社区研究一致(Stambaugh,Beaupre,Icove,Cassandra,威廉姆斯。州和地方执法部门需要打击电子犯罪。国家司法研究所简报(2001年))。调查结果强调了计算机取证学科的分散性。目前缺乏一个国家课程和培训发展框架,也没有专业认证的黄金标准。研究结果进一步支持的批评,有一个不成比例的重点放在计算机取证的应用方面,在基础理论的发展为代价。讨论了研究结果的进一步影响,并提出了该领域未来研究的建议。(C)2004 Elsevier Ltd.保留所有权利。
The current study was a pilot study and attempted to add to the growing body of knowledge regarding inherent issues in computer forensics. The study consisted of an Internet-based survey that asked respondents to identify the top five issues in computer forensics. Sixty respondents answered the survey using a free form text field. The results indicated that education/training and certification were the most reported issue (18%) and lack of funding was the least reported (4%). These findings are consistent with a similar law enforcement community study (Stambaugh, Beaupre, Icove, Cassaday, Williams. State and local law enforcement needs to combat electronic crime. National Institute of Justice Research in Brief (2001)). The findings emphasize the fragmented nature of the computer forensics discipline. Currently there is a lack of a national framework for curricula and training development, and no gold standard for professional certification. The findings further support the criticism that there is a disproportional focus on the applied aspects of computer forensics, at the expense of the development of fundamental theories. Further implications of the findings are discussed and suggestions for future research in the area are presented. (C) 2004 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
