Abstract

The advent of sophisticated Information and Communication Technologies and exponential growth in the usage of internet has enabled the cybercriminals to exploit the vulnerabilities of digital systems and networks, to perform crimes like hacking, phishing, identity theft, ransom ware, cyber espionage, cyber terrorism and cyber warfare. These Cybercrimes can cause significant financial losses, reputational damage, operational disruption, legal liability and national security risks. Today almost all criminal activity has a digital forensics footprint, and digital forensics experts can provide critical assistance to case investigations by identifying, acquiring, and analyzing electronic evidence. Digital evidence ranges from emails, images of child sexual exploitation, messages, to the location of a mobile phone. Digital forensics plays an important role in identifying, mitigating, and eradicating cyber threats and is also useful in the aftermath of an attack, to provide information required by auditors, legal teams, or law enforcement.
