Abstract

Computer Forensics World is a growing community of professionals involved in the digital forensics industry. It is an open resource, free for all to access and to use. Digital investigations and crime regularly cross international and language borders today. Open database connectivity technology is now providing access to a wide range of database technologies, such as neural networks and pattern recognition databases, which are being used to analyze shoe prints and tool marks. These new computer-aided analysis tools can link and chart case information, allowing the investigator to question the data and pose scenarios as well as suggest and follow possible investigative paths. As a result, connections that often took weeks or months to come to light are revealed in a fraction of the time. Forensics is just beginning to get looked at, but the problems are cost and government is slow to adopt new technology. In this paper we discussed about the kingdom of Digital Forensics and Computer Forensic World. The study consists of Computer Forensic World, Digital Forensics (MEK, AFF, and Keyword Search etc.), and the Future Forensics Labs.
