Why Digital Forensics Software Is Given So Much Relevance ?

In general, people do not understand that any type of data or information is not completely private. The intervention of Digital Forensics Tool is giving the investigation procedure a new dimension. One should not feel that no one is peeping into the work carried out. This is a big misconception, at least in this age of computers nothing is out of bounds. All kinds of document one is working on, files one is downloading etc. All of this is setting its footprint in the digital world.

In this blog, the readers will get to know about things that happen when a task is carried out. How the investigators retrieve or figure out information from your system.  

On Drafting a Document –
Hypothetically, let’s say that a person is working on a Word Document. Then he or she might concern that one is merely typing or carrying out editing work on the document. Then, save this document inside your computer system and feel everything is secured. This is where our perception or observation is wrong. It is because right from inception till finally the saving of the document, your working activity is creating a bank of records. Even when the printing of the document is carried out, a single file consisting of vital details is created for the printer’s usage. Your systems’ virtual memory file is getting uploaded. Now, the usage of Digital forensic tools in a smart way by experienced professional aids in retrieving of the information.

On Browsing a Website –
The user of the computer is required to understand, that working on different browsers like – Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari, Chrome, UC Browsers, Android Browser etc. All of this does create a list of the activities carried out by the user. Like - a specific page that encompasses the date and time, record of any "cookie" - data that the website gives the browser - this is called "Internet History". Even, if there is a presence of any image on the relevant Website. All of this does get registered inside the internet activity section. Nothing just gets wiped off the system. It is not like one is writing on paper and then erasing it with a rubber. Usage of Digital forensic tools aid the investigator for recovering the list of activity. Like – history of the deleted file. Even, if the name of the file is altered or a part of it is overwritten.

On carrying of Digital Investigation –
Please understand that nothing is out of the ambit of a sound Digital Forensics Software expert. He or she with the assistance of smart tools, skill-set, knowledge and experience will unravel the different types of activities. Like - deleted files, and find thousands of otherwise lost snippets of Internet history, missing emails, and erased images etc. Such function or activity is a big ratio of the science and art inside the Digital Investigation.
