A Study To Examine Forensic Cybercrime and the Role of Computer Forensics

Abstract

This study delves into the intricate realm of Forensic Cybercrime and Computer Forensics, focusing on the methodologies, challenges, and advancements that encapsulate the investigation of digital crimes. As the digital landscape expands, so does the complexity and volume of cybercrimes, necessitating sophisticated forensic approaches to detect, analyse, and mitigate these offences. This research aims to dissect the procedural framework and technological tools employed in cyber forensic investigations, emphasising digital evidence extraction, preservation, and analysis. Technological advancements have both facilitated the perpetration of cybercrimes and bolstered forensic capabilities. This dual-edged nature necessitates a continuous evolution of forensic methodologies to stay ahead of cybercriminals. The research identifies emerging trends and future directions in cyber forensics, including adopting artificial intelligence and machine learning for enhanced data analysis and anomaly detection. By providing a comprehensive overview of Forensic Cybercrime and Computer Forensics, this study aims to contribute to the field’s body of knowledge, offering insights for practitioners, scholars, and policymakers engaged in the ongoing battle against cybercrime. The findings underscore the importance of interdisciplinary collaboration, continuous learning, and innovation in developing effective cyber forensic strategies and tools.
