DIGITAL FORENSICS AND COMPUTER CRIME INVESTIGATION
Digital forensics is the investigations process covering a wide range of applications; the most common form is the support and the analysis of cyber-attack incidents in the electronic discovery process during court cases. Digital forensics may also include reviews of the nature of the attack and the extent of an unauthorized network intrusion in private sectors or individuals by cybersecurity experts. Digital forensics mainly focuses on data recovery and investigation of computer hacking, often concerning cybercrime.
The technical aspect of digital forensics investigation varies based on the electronic devices used by or targeted by cybercrimes such as computer forensics, network forensics, database forensics, and mobile device forensics. The digital forensics process includes the seizure of electronic devices used for the attack, forensic imaging (acquisition), analysis of security breaches, and the production of a report based on collected evidence as well as identifying the direct source of crime. Digital forensics investigations can be used to attribute digital footprint evidence to specific suspects, confirms court statements, identify the source of attacks and determine the cybercriminals by authenticating the documents or digital footprints regarding certain cybercrime activities.
