Criminals often exploit technology to engage in unlawful and unethical behavior using computers and their applications.
Henceforth this research paper aims to examine the significance of cyber forensic science in investigations of criminal cases and other areas of law, particularly through the practice of "Cyber Forensics" to facilitate faster and more efficient investigations. Also, the paper focuses on understanding cyber forensic investigation methodologies in India using primary and secondary information from various sources such as research papers, articles, journals, conference proceedings, textbooks, and cyber data.
