Abstract

Digital Forensic investigation is the step wise process based on scientifically proven methods. Many advancements are taking place in this area also in the past researchers have developed some working model of investigation. However, with change in technology the models are turning obsolete. In this research we defined digital forensics, nature of evidence. The features of exiting models have been summarized. A possible structured investigation model has been proposed with refinement at each stage. To support the findings sample checklist and forms has been drafted. The sample are adaptable and can be modified. The improvisation has been added upon the review by theprofessional cyber forensic investigator.
