What are digital forensics tools?

Digital forensics tools are software applications used in the field of digital forensics, where investigators examine digital devices to find evidence of a crime. These tools allow experts to extract useful information from devices such as computers, mobile phones, and storage media in a non-invasive manner. They are used to retrieve deleted data, browse system logs, search for hidden files, and reconstruct files, emails, and online activities. Digital forensic tools are important in legal investigations, corporate investigations, law enforcement, and other fields where digital evidence is used in legal proceedings. They help investigators to uncover evidence that would have been impossible to find otherwise.
