Abstract :

Digital Forensics deals with the studies of Computer and memory Forensics, Mobile Forensics, Network Forensics and data recovery. Different Cyber and Digital forensic tools can make the process of investiga – tion easier, accurate and precise. Tools can be software or hardware or a combination of both which can be used in the investigation for information gathering, analysis, report making and giving a direction to the investigation, finally identifying certain aspects that are difficult for a human to conduct. These tools can be either open Source or Proprietary. Some tools come with a hardware as well as software package and some might just be an application. Some of the Forensic Tools may require an active internet connection whereas others can work in offline mode as well. The type of the crime occurred will decide the appropriate tool and these tools used individually or along with other tools can help in a systematic and effective analysis of evidences and lead to an appropriate conclusion. In this research paper we are giving a comprehensive list and explanation of the various Tools that can be useful for Digital Forensic investigation
