Abstract

Despite its use for criminal misbehaviour, technology is contributing to the improvement of both old and new investigative methods. Combined with the rising incidence of cybercrime, the increasing adoption of new digital devices by society and the enormous amount of digital data produced by them is fostering the development of the new and independent scientific field of digital forensics, specialized on the production, collection and analysis of such data and other computer powered investigative tasks. In this paper, we will focus on forensic investigation methods and digital forensic tools aided by new technologies with an overview of the forensic science and the development of tools and investigative methods powered by computers, as well as the usage and purposes of digital forensic tools.
