Computer forensics is a succession of processes to obtain proof of a crime or breach of policy. At a fundamental level, computer forensics is the analysis of information contained within and created with computer systems, typically to appraise what happened, when it happened, how it happened, and who was involved. Combining the science of computer forensics with our tailored approach and best-practices methodology, E-Stet provides focused, synchronized, and meaningful electronic evidence.

In a multitude of cases, the information gathered during a computer forensics investigation is not typically available or viewable by the average computer user, such as 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. E-Stet has the special skills and tools are needed to obtain this type of evidence.

In computer forensics, there are three pertinent data types- active, archival, and latent.

Active Data is the live and most accessible information. My Documents, Program files, System files, etc...

Archival Data is data that has been backed up and stored. This could consist of backup tapes, hard drives or various types of media

Latent Data is the invisible information to the naked eye, information that resides on hard drive sectors but does not reveal its existence.

A computer investigation could entail looking at all of these data types depending on the sophistication of the case. Obtaining latent data is by far the most time consuming and costly.
