Digital forensics is the scientific method of acquiring evidence, analyzing it, and presenting it to a court using that evidence. Data that has been deleted, encrypted, or otherwise rendered unreadable on a computer (graphics, documents, images, and so forth) can be recovered using a wide range of digital forensics methods. Whether preparing for criminal or civil litigation, it's critical to have all this information on hand, especially during the discovery phase and the days leading up to depositions. None of the deleted files may contain the information that needs to be recovered.HTML files, e-mail communications, and content retrieved from a hard drive's virtual memory, slack space, or recycle bin may all contain it.
