DETECTING DIGITAL FOOTPRINTS IN VIRTUAL CRIMINAL PROCESSES: A REVIEW OF DIGITAL FORENSICS STUDIES
DOI:
https://doi.org/10.52754/16948610_2024_2_47Keywords:
Digital Forensics, Cybercrime, Digital Traces, Data Analysis, Tools and TechniquesAbstract
As technology advances, so does the criminal world. The virtual world has now become a new battleground for criminals and law enforcement agencies. Digital forensics is a rapidly growing field that focuses on finding and analyzing digital traces created during the commission of cybercrime. This review article provides an overview of the basic concepts and methods used in digital forensics to identify, analyze, and interpret digital traces created during criminal proceedings in a "virtual" world.
