Hi,

In modern digital world the main problem is cyber crime.And the acquisition is the method to colllect evidence against this crime.There are two types of acquisition.They are live acquisitions and dead acquisitions.The pros and cons of both are given below:

Live Acquisition

Dead acquisition

PROS:

it can be used to acquire both static and dynamic ,volatile data as the collection of data is taking place by turning on the system.
It provides consisten and verifiable acquisition.
Relevant data is obtained as datas are retrived from a running computer.
Short time is needed to investigation.

PROS:

The process is simple and reliable as it is done when the system is powered off.
It does not require any more knowledge abou the system.
It can be verified at any time.

CONS:

Datas are collected when the computer is on,and different computers have different installations and the person who are doiong the acquisition should have full knowledge about the system.
It produces slurred images when the data is obtained from a modifies system.
Limited datas are available.
In distrusted network it is difficult the case of authenticity and reliability.
Collection of evidence is obstructed as anti forensic tool kits are available.

CONS:

The data collected by the examiners can be encrypted by the attackers by using cryptography techniques.
The information produced are volatile and they may lost when the system is turned off.
Need to analyze more data so it is time consuming.
It requires more space to store the information.Certainities are there due to lack of standardised procedure.

On compairing the dead and live acquisition,a live acquisition is a solution to the cons of dead acquisition.A dead aquisition is a traditional method and it is volatile and all the collected information lost and of no use.So a live acquisition is provided.And when the system is encrypted with password it is better to use a live acquisition.It is missed in dead aquisition method.

The verification is not easier as it require hue ammount of data need to be collected and takes more time to verify the data and need to extract which are the valuable data and which are the correct information.

Hope you help...

Thank you...
