The Role Of Cyber Forensics In Criminology
Abstract - Cyber forensics also known as computer forensics, which is a subdivision of digital forensic science, relating to evidence detection in computers and digital storage media.

Email Investigation
I. Introduction E-mail is a widely used form of computer-mediated communication (Heisler and Crabill, 2006) that allows for quick and inexpensive communication over long distances. Despite its convenience, email has been implicated in various criminal activities, either as a tool for criminals to communicate or as a source of digital evidence (Maras, 2012; Yu, 2011). This has made email a key focus in digital forensics (Orebaugh and Allnutt, 2009; Garfinkel, 2006; Shields et al., 2011). However, current digital forensics literature frequently overlooks an important source of intelligence in criminal activities — email spam.In the USA, the CAN-SPAM Act defines email spam as unsolicited commercial emails sent to recipients with whom the sender has no existing relationship, and not sent with the recipient’s consent. Unsolicited commercial emails that violate the CAN-SPAM regulations are considered illegal and may result in fines of up to $16,000 for each email in violation (Federal Trade Commission, 2009), or imprisonment (Year Gain et al., 2004). However, research has shown that these penalties have failed to deter spammers (Yu, 2011), suggesting that spammers do not believe that law enforcement takes email spam cases seriously. This lack of enforcement may be due to limited resources or jurisdictional issues, but it may also indicate a perception that email spam is a minor problem with minimal harm. This downplayed view of email spam could work in the favour of criminals if digital investigators and researchers share the same perception.Current research on email spam primarily focuses on technical issues, such as spam filtering methods (Blanzieri and Bryl, 2008; Zhou et al., 2010; Liu and Wang, 2013; Zhou et al., 2014), or the methods used by spammers (Wang et al., 2013; Lumezanu and Feamster, 2012). These discussions are largely irrelevant to digital forensics, as researchers in the field of email spam are more concerned with detecting spam and reducing false positives, rather than extracting useful information from spam emails. This makes email spam a viable medium for criminals to convey incriminating messages. To demonstrate this, this article introduces five scenarios where digital forensics practitioners may overlook crucial information contained in spam emails.B. Overview of the email investigation process [1][2][3][4][5]

Web Browser Forensics:Tools,Evidence Collection And Analysis
Abstract- A web browser is a necessary piece of software for accessing and carrying out a variety of online tasks, including email, financial transactions, file and video downloads, social networking application access, and internet browsing. Web browsers are used by cybercriminals to commit internet crimes since they are the only means of accessing the internet. Digital forensics' main goal is to collect the "evidence" from crime scenes. An extension of computer forensic, digital forensic encompasses digital electrical devices like printers and cell phones. Because more criminal and civil cases may be founded on evidence gathered from user online activities, web browser forensics plays a significant role in computer forensics. Investigators and criminals both use the internet. Criminals utilize web browsers to gather information for new criminal tactics or to hide their crimes. Criminals leave traces on computers every time they use a web browser. The analysis of the browser's temporary files, index.dat, cookies, download files, free space, cache, and other data provides evidence for this claim. In this paper we have discussed and used various tools and methods to extract evidence for analysis.

Md5 Collisions And The Impact On Computer Forensics
Abstract:The Message Digest 5 (MD5) hash is commonly used as for integrity verification in the forensic imaging process. The ability to force MD5 hash collisions has been a reality for more than a decade, although there is a general consensus that hash collisions are of minimal impact to the practice of computer forensics. This paper describes an experiment to determine the results of imaging two disks that are identical except for one file, the two versions of which have different content but otherwise occupy the same byte positions on the disk, are the same size, and have the same hash value.

The Art Of Living With Machines…
Hello Readers It is always a big question with every big technological advancement and that is "Whether machines are going to replace us or not?" This is a general question but when you have a background understanding of this topic and IT stuff this topic becomes debatable and you will find yourself on one of the sides eventually. There is nothing wrong on why and how this question comes to you, the wrong is the perception that we will make at the end of the discussion. When someone asks me the same question on "Whether machines are going to replace us or not?" I answer firmly, "Ask your Machine". Ask your smartphone whether it is replacing you or not, ask your laptop and high core processor machine that whether it is replacing you somewhere. To answer this, you must ask yourself why you purchased this machine and is it replaced anything in your life? The straightforward answer to this is NO. It is up to you to whom you replace and why. A machine can't think and will only make decisions based on the algorithms, that's it, you trust it? There is no trust issue actually, machines are never get judged but they only get better day by day. Till now you know your answer that why purchased the machine - smartphone, laptop, smartwatch, etc. The answer is to make life easier and daily tasks simpler. Now, what about unemployment that is caused by the machine? Here I will be like - what about employment that is caused by the machine? There is no or yes, favor or against. It is just we are being confused about the perspective that we are carrying. Machines are made to reduce your labor and achieve your daily tasks by saving your time. If the motive is so well, how you suppose to think that this will go against one day? As of now, machines are not thinking like us, then who is removing and causing mass unemployment, it is the leadership and management. But there is nothing wrong in it as well. Keeping machine at your work creates more employment, you need maintainers to maintain it, regular checks, safety check, updates, replacement if needed, these are giving opportunities to newcomers as well, don't you think? It's like if we have 10 machines to do work of 20 people then we require 10 people as well to keep machines running. The machine will always be solving our problems, so if unemployment is the problem, don't worry, machine can be used there as well to solve this issue. What if I can train someone by using computer and internet who is located at another corner of the world? This can be done. So if you are still stuck with one question in your brain and that is
