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.

This chapter introduces the field of digital forensics. It is intended as an overview to permit the reader to understand the concepts and to be able to procure the appropriate assistance should the need for digital forensics expertise arise. Digital forensics is the application of scientific techniques of discovery and exploitation to the problem of finding, verifying, preserving, and exploiting digital evidence for use in a court of law. It involves the use of hardware and software for finding evidence of criminal activity on digital media, either in a computer or in a network device, and attributing that evidence to a suspect for the purposes of conviction. Digital forensics can also be used for non-law enforcement purposes. Data recovery is a form of computer forensics used outside of the legal arena. The authors hope that the reader will understand some of the intricacies of digital forensics and be able to intelligently respond to incidents requiring a digital forensic response.

The discipline of digital forensics requires a combination of skills, qualifications and knowledge in the area of forensic investigation, legal aspects and information technology. The uniqueness of digital evidence makes the adoption of traditional legal approaches problematic. Information technology terminology is currently used interchangeably without any regard to being unambiguous and consistent in relation to legal texts. Many of the information technology terms or concepts have not yet achieved legal recognition. The recognition and standardisation of terminology within a legal context are of the utmost importance to ensure that miscommunication does not occur. To provide clarity or guidance on some of the terms and concepts applicable to digital forensics and for the search and seizure of digital evidence, some of the concepts and terms are reviewed and discussed, using the Criminal Procedure Act 51 of 1977 as a point of departure. Digital evidence is often collected incorrectly and analysed ineffectively or simply overlooked due to the complexities that digital evidence poses to forensic investigators. As with any forensic science, specific regulations, guidelines, principles or procedures should be followed to meet the objectives of investigations and to ensure the accuracy and acceptance of findings. These regulations, guidelines, principles or procedures are discussed within the context of digital forensics: what processes should be followed and how these processes ensure the acceptability of digital evidence. These processes include international principles and standards such as those of the Association of Chiefs of Police Officers and the International Organisation of Standardisation. A summary is also provided of the most influential or best-recognised international (IOS) standards on digital forensics. It is concluded that the originality, reliability, integrity and admissibility of digital evidence should be maintained as follows: Data should not be changed or altered. Original evidence should not be directly examined. Forensically sound duplicates should be created. Digital forensic analyses should be performed by competent persons. Digital forensic analyses should adhere to relevant local legal requirements. Audit trails should exist consisting of all required documents and actions. The chain of custody should be protected. Processes and procedures should be proper, while recognised and accepted by the industry. If the ACPO (1997) principles and ISO/IEC 27043 and 27037 Standards are followed as a forensic framework, then digital forensic investigators should follow these standards as a legal framework.

Digital forensic experts need to identify and collect the data stored in electronic devices. Further, this acquired data has to be analyzed to produce digital evidence. Data mining techniques have been successfully implemented in various applications across the domains. Data mining techniques help us to gain insight from a large volume of data. It helps us to predict the pattern, classify the data, and other various aspects of the data based on the users' perspective. Digital forensics is a sophisticated area of research. As the information age is revolutionizing at an inconceivable speed and the information stored in digital form is growing at a rapid rate, law enforcement agencies have a heavy reliance on digital forensic techniques that can provide timely acquisition of data, zero fault data processing, and accurate interpretation of data. This chapter gives an overview of the tasks involved in cyber forensics. It also discusses the traditional approach for digital forensics and how the integration of data mining techniques can enhance the efficiency and reliability of the existing systems used for cyber forensics.

Abstract. The handling of digital evidence each and every digital data that can proof a determination that a crime has been committed; it may also give the links between a crime and its victims or crime and the culprit. How to verify a valid evidence is to investigate using the approach known as the Digital Forensic Examination Procedures. Integrated Digital Forensic Investigation Framework (IDFIF) is the latest developed method, so that it is interesting to further scrutinize IDFIF, particularly in the process of investigation of a smartphone. The current smartphone devices have similar functions with computers. Although its functions are almost the same as the computer, but there are some differences in the process of digital forensics handling between computer devices and smartphones. The digital evidence handling process stages need to overcome the circumstances that may be encountered by an investigator involving digital evidence particularly on electronic media and smartphone devices in the field. IDFIF needs to develop in such a way so it has the flexibility in handling different types of digital evidence.Keywords: digital evidence, IDFIF, investigation, smartphoneAbstraks.

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.

The increase in the number of internet users in Indonesia as much as 175.4 million as recorded in the Datareportal.com report and 4.83 billion globally, impact the increase in the number of cyber fraud cases. Data states that 96% of fraud cases are not resolved due to fraud methods carried out online and make it difficult for legal officers to obtain evidence. Previous fraud investigation research mainly focused on fraud detection, so this research focuses on submitting a framework for investigating cyber fraud cases. The cyber fraud case requires a new framework for investigation because in this fraud case, there is digital evidence that is very prone to be damaged, lost, or modified, which makes this case unsolved. This research aims to develop a framework that is expected to help auditors to uncover cases of cyber fraud so that resolved cyber fraud cases can increase. The method used in making this framework uses Jabareen's conceptual framework development method, which consists of 6 stages, namely, Mapping the selected data source, extensive reading and categorizing of the chosen data, Identifying and naming objects, Deconstructing and categorizing the concept, Integrating concept, Synthesis, resynthesis. And make it all sense. The framework for cyber fraud investigation uses 22 digital forensic frameworks and eight frameworks for fraud audit investigations. The results of developing a framework using the Jabareen method resulted in 8 stages, integrating various concepts selected from digital forensics and fraud audits. Evaluation of framework development was carried out by giving limited questionnaires to practitioners and academics, which produced 89% for the feasibility value and needs of the framework and 67% there is no need for changes to the framework being developed.

Information technology has become an essential thing in the digital era as it is today. With the support of computer networks, information technology is used as a medium for exchanging data and information. Much information is confidential. Therefore, security is also essential. Metasploit is one of the frameworks commonly used by penetration testers to audit or test the security of a computer system legally, but it does not rule out the possibility that Metasploit can also be used for crime. For this reason, it is necessary to carry out a digital forensic process to uncover these crimes. In this study, a simulation of attacks on Windows 10 will be carried out with Metasploit. Then the digital forensics process uses live forensics techniques on computer RAM, where the computer RAM contains information about the processes running on the computer. The live forensic technique is important because information on RAM will be lost if the computer is off. This research will use FTK Imager, Dumpit, and Magnet RAM Capture as the RAM acquisition tool and Volatility as the analysis tool. The results of the research have successfully shown that the live forensics technique in RAM is able to obtain digital evidence in the form of an attacker's IP, evidence of exploits/Trojans, processes running on RAM, operating system profiles used and the location of the exploits/Trojan when executed by the victim.
