A Study on Digital Forensic Tools

Abstract: The risk of data misuse is growing in tandem with the exponential growth in data storage and utilisation in the modern world. As a result of this, data kept on controllers, mobile devices, or computers, whether it was acquired by humans or machines, is susceptible to numerous cyber-attacks. There are several digital forensic tools available nowadays that assist with conducting investigations by gathering evidence using various techniques. The numerous digital forensic tools that businesses, governments, and individuals employ to gather, extract, and present the information gathered are thoroughly examined in this paper. In this work, we also assess the forensic tools using several parameters so that customers may quickly choose the tool that best suits their requirements .We also briefly talk about some of the challenges people face in using digital forensic tools.
