Digital Forensics and Cybersecurity

Welcome to the world of digital forensics in Cybersecurity.

A collection of digital forensics tools for verification, investigations, diagnostics, software, libraries, learning tutorials, frameworks, academic and practical resources in Cybersecurity. Thanks to all contributors, you're awesome and wouldn't be possible without you! Our goal is to build a categorized community-driven collection of very well-known resources.

What is Digital Forensics?

  • Computers are increasingly being used in criminal activity. From fraud to violent crime, computers are often found to play a significant role as a tool for planning and conducting a crime, and may contain relevant evidence pertaining to an offence.

forensics

  • Digital forensics is a branch of forensic science that focuses on identifying, acquiring, processing, analysing, and reporting on data stored electronically. Electronic evidence is a component of almost all criminal activities and digital forensics support is crucial for law enforcement investigations.
