The computer forensic involve the protection, classification, taking out information and documents the evidence stored as data or magnetically encoded information. But the organizations have an increasing amount of data from many sources like computing peripherals, personal digital assistants (PDA), consumer electronic devices, computer systems, networking equipment and various types of media, among other sources. To find similar kinds of evidences, crimes happened previously, the law enforcement officers, police forces and detective agencies is time consuming and headache. The main motive of this work is by combining a data mining techniques with computer forensic tools to get the data ready for analysis, find crime patterns, understand the mind of the criminal, assist investigation agencies have to be one step ahead of the bad guys, to speed up the process of solving crimes and carry out computer forensics analyses for criminal affairs.
