What
is Digital Forensics?
Digital
Forensics, or Computer Forensics, is the process followed
to preserve, identify, extract, recover, analyze and document
electronic data as evidence. Often used in either civil
or criminal proceedings.

to determine what kind of activities and evidence exists on
a computer system or electronic storage media such as:

Computers

Drives
