Abstract
Digital forensics also called as computer forensics is a major field that incorporates people regardless of their professions. Digital forensics includes various forensic domains like network forensics, database forensics, mobile forensics, cloud forensics, memory forensics, and data/disk forensics. Recent statistics and analytics show the exponential growth of cyber threats and attacks and thus necessitate the need for forensic experts and forensic researchers for automation process in the cyber world. As digital forensics is directly related to data recovery and data carving, this field struggles with the rapid increase in volume of data. In addition to that, day-to-day increase of malware makes forensic field slacking. This paper provides the users and researchers some information regarding forensics and its different domains, anti-forensic techniques, and also an analysis of current status of forensics.
