Digital forensics is the process of finding and studying information from digital devices like computers, phones, and tablets. It helps police and investigators solve crimes, especially ones that involve the internet, hacking, or stolen data.
Experts in this field look at the data carefully without changing it, so it can be used as proof in court. They work in different areas like:
Computer forensics checking data on computers
Mobile forensics looking into phones and tablets
Network forensics tracking internet and network
activity.
Database forensics examining stored records and files.
They use special tools like Autopsy, EnCase, and Cellebrite to find hidden or deleted data. As more people use digital devices, digital forensics has become very important in solving crimes and making sure the truth comes out.
