Computer forensics is a scientific process of obtaining, preserving, and documenting the evidence from various electronic and digital storage devices namely, computers, mobile phones, digital cameras and memory storage devices. Digital evidence is collected and preserved by computer forensics investigators. The evidence collection should be done in a systematic manner following set rules and procedures in such a way that the collected digital evidence is authentic and not modified, only then the evidence will be admissible in the court of law or any legal proceedings.
