Digital forensics (DF) is the scientific investigation of digital criminal activities, illegal attempts, and cyber-attacks through computer systems. It becoming a crucial aspect law enforcement agencies, court law, business farms to identify, preserve, examine, analyse evidence using proof approve efficient techniques for eventual demonstration that help take further actions. This review paper explores different methodologies frameworks related incident response, explain impact forgery tampering in chain-of-custody. Moreover, we highlight list popular tools along with features terms distinct prospects. Finally, have evaluated examined various applications, implementation research challenges, limitations. The open areas future directions also address which need concern better more investigation.
