Abstract

The use of evidence acquisition guides for the identification and collection of electronic evidence is supported internationally as a means of providing best practice methodologies, as a legal framework and to ensure that sources of evidence are not tainted before examination and analysis can occur. This work seeks to analyse and discuss several of the more publicly known and available evidence collection guides as a means of determining how adaptable they are to modern devices and technologies; in particular, wireless and VOIP-based technologies.
