Computer Forensics
"Computer forensics is the analysis of information
contained within and created with computer systems and computing devices,
typically in the interest of figuring out what happened, when it happened, how
it happened, and who was involved." It can be used to figure out why a computer system is failing or who misused the system. Computer Forensics is also when people search to see what crimes people have committed on computer systems. Computer Forensic people want the questions of who, what, why, when, and how answered. They look into deleted files and "fragments of data that can be found in the space allocated for
existing files - known by computer forensic practitioners as slack space." Computer Forensics requires certain skills and tools. 
People that are interested in Computer Forensics can go into a variety of professions. They can get into law enforcement work. Examples of law enforcement work would be, the FBI, CIA, or other
investigative agency. These jobs do their own investigation work. Another option is to be involved in the information security. People can also work for a company that specializes in computer forensics and/or electronic discovery. The last option is to start your own business where you do computer forensics and consulting with people.
