Digital forensics encompasses a wide range of activities related to the acquisition, preservation, examination, analysis, and presentation of electronic evidence. With the proliferation of computer networks, cloud computing, smartphones, embedded devices, and the Internet of Things, the field of digital forensics has expanded beyond traditional computer crime investigations. Virtually every crime now involves some element of digital evidence, and digital forensics provides the necessary techniques and tools to articulate this evidence in legal proceedings. Moreover, digital forensics has numerous intelligence applications and plays a crucial role in cyber security. Investigations into security breaches yield valuable information that can be used to enhance the security and resilience of systems.

Advances in Digital Forensics XVIII presents original research results and innovative applications in the field of digital forensics. It also highlights some of the major technical and legal issues related to digital evidence and electronic crime investigations. The book covers various areas, including:

Digital forensics techniques and tools for acquiring, preserving, and examining electronic evidence.

The role of digital forensics in investigating cybercrime, including malware analysis, network intrusion, and data recovery.

The analysis of digital evidence in legal proceedings, including the admissibility of electronic evidence and the challenges of cross-border investigations.

The use of digital forensics in intelligence applications, such as counterterrorism, fraud detection, and cyber espionage.

The challenges and opportunities presented by emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the Internet of Things, in digital forensics.

The book is the eighteenth volume in the annual series produced by the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) Working Group 11.9 on Digital Forensics. It includes a selection of eleven edited papers from the Eighteenth Annual IFIP WG 11.9 International Conference on Digital Forensics, a fully-virtual event held in the winter of 2022.

The field of digital forensics continues to evolve and adapt to the changing landscape of technology and crime, making it an essential tool for law enforcement, intelligence agencies, and cybersecurity professionals. By leveraging the latest techniques and tools, digital forensics professionals can effectively investigate and prosecute cybercrime, protect critical infrastructure, and enhance the overall security of our digital world.
