  • Chapter
  • First Online:
A Practical Hands-on Approach to Database Forensics

Abstract

While digital forensics (or referred to as cyber forensics in recent times) play an increasingly important role in our current society (or ‘metaverse’), the role of databases in data/evidence acquisition cannot be understated. Therefore, this edited book focuses on a number of operational challenges in identifying and acquiring data of forensic or evidential interest and relevance from the different databases on the computing devices and systems under investigation.
