Seizure of Digital Information · Chapter 7 137 This chapter focuses more specifically on the seizure of digital evi- dence when that evidence relates to a static event, such as receiving a harassing e-mail or seizing a computer that contains child pornog- raphy. An analysis and discussion of recovering information and evi- dence from a more dynamic event, such as a Denial-of-Service attack or a network intrusion are included in Chapter 5. Although much of what is discussed in the following sections still apply to network forensics, please note that I am purposely minimizing the points that apply to it. Finally, I am not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV. The intent of this chapter is to provide investigators, prosecutors and private sector personnel with options and discussion topics related to the collection of digital evidence. Any conclusions or recommendations in this chapter that may resemble legal advice should be vetted through legal counsel. Always check with your local jurisdiction, local prose- cutors, and local forensics laboratory as to their preferred method(s) of digital evidence collection.
