Decoding Cybercrimes: Cyber Forensic Science Leads the Way in Solving Digital Mysteries

Abstract

Introduction: In an increasingly digital world, where almost every aspect of our lives is mediated by technology, the rise of cybercrimes presents a formidable challenge. These crimes, ranging from data breaches to online fraud and cyber-attacks, not only threaten individuals' privacy and security but also undermine the integrity of businesses and institutions worldwide. In response, the field of cyber forensic science has emerged as a critical tool in the investigation and resolution of these digital mysteries. Aim and Objectives: This study aimed to observational study outline actually focuses on existing digital forensic investigation models. Methods: The methodology outlined aims to provide a comprehensive understanding of how cyber forensic science contributes to solving digital crimes. By combining qualitative and quantitative approaches, this research will offer valuable insights into the effectiveness and challenges of forensic techniques in the cyber realm. Results: Cyber Forensics and Digital Forensics are semantically connected. It focuses on the research of digital data-storage devices. As shown in Fig. 1. It divides forensic science into many specializations, each of which examines particular functions, as seen in Fig. 2. There are various standard procedures that make up the Digital Forensic Investigation Model. Figure 3 shows the major stages of forensic model. To eliminate discrepancies found in the inquiry phases, the phases were divided. This method is restricted to the investigation of computer fraud. Conclusion: An overview of current models for digital forensic inquiry is provided in this study. By removing the disparities between the current models of digital forensic inquiry, the research highlights the shortcomings of the models and offers an improved alternative.
