Roadmap of Digital Forensics Investigation Process with Discovery of Tools

Abstract

Traditional Computer Forensics seems to be no longer as trivial as decades ago, with a very restricted set of available electronic components, entering the age of digital formation of hardware and software too. It has recently been shown how cyber criminals are using a sophisticated and progressive approach to target digital and physical infrastructures, people and systems. Therefore, the analysis approach faces many problems due to the fact that billions of interconnected devices produce relatively at least small bits of evidence that comprehend the Data Analysis paradigm effortlessly. As a consequence, the basic methodology of computer forensics requires to adapt major attention to develop smart and fast digital investigation techniques. Digital forensics investigation frameworks are occupied with lots of toolkits and applications according to the need of any criminal incident. Using the Digital Forensics Process's microscope, specific objects are discussed and ana-lysed with respect to which tools are needful. Also, where the scope of attention is required to enhance the feature in it. This research leads to increased awareness, challenges and opportunities for Digital Forensics process with respect to different fields such as networks, IoT, Cloud computing, Database system, Big data, Mobile and handheld devices, Disk and different storage media, and Operating system.
