Digital Forensic

Digital Forensics is a technique used to search for evidence of events that have occurred. This quest aims to reveal the hidden truth. The existence of digital forensic activities due to the occurrence of crimes both in the field of computers or other. Legal treatment in digital forensic field makes this area of science a compulsory device to dismantle crimes involving the computer world. In general, the cyber crime leaves a digital footprint, so it is necessary for a computer forensics expert to secure digital evidence. Computer forensics necessarily requires a standard operational procedure in taking digital evidence so as not to be contaminated or modified when the data is analyzed. The application of digital forensic is beneficial to the legal process going well and correctly.

The steep increase of cyber crime has rendered digital forensics an area of paramount importance to keep cyber threats in check and invoke legal safety and security in electronic transactions. This chapter reviews certain legal aspects of forensic investigation, the overall legal framework in the EU and U.S. and additional self-regulatory measures that can be leveraged upon to investigate cyber crime in forensic investigations. This chapter claims that while full-scale harmonisation of forensic investigation processes across the EU and beyond is unlikely to happen in the foreseeable future, cross-border investigations can be greatly facilitated by initiatives aiming at mutual assistance arrangements based on a common understanding of threats and shared processes. Involving the users through self-regulation and accountability frameworks might also contribute to reducing risks in electronic communications that emanate from cyber criminal threats.

As technology has become pivotal a part of life, it has also become a part of criminal life. Criminals use new technology developments to commit crimes, and investigators must adapt to these changes. Many people have, and will become, victims of cybercrime, making it even more important for investigators to understand current methods used in cyber investigations. The two general categories of cyber investigations are digital forensics and open-source intelligence. Cyber investigations are affecting more than just the investigators. They must determine what tools they need to use based on the information that the tools provide and how effectively the tools and methods work. Tools are any application or device used by investigators, while methods are the process or technique of using a tool. This survey compares the most common methods available to investigators to determine what kind of evidence the methods provide, and which of them are the most effective. To accomplish this, the survey establishes criteria for comparison and conducts an analysis of the tools in both mobile digital forensic and open-source intelligence investigations. We found that there is no single tool or method that can gather all the evidence that investigators require. Many of the tools must be combined to be most effective. However, there are some tools that are more useful than others. Out of all the methods used in mobile digital forensics, logical extraction and hex dumps are the most effective and least likely to cause damage to the data. Among those tools used in open-source intelligence, natural language processing has more applications and uses than any of the other options.
