Abstract
Cyber attacks are fast moving and increasing in number and severity. When the attacks occur, the attacked enterprise responds with a collection of predetermined actions. Applying digital forensics helps in the recovery and investigation of material on digital media and networks is one of these actions. Cyber Forensic Investigation includes the Capture & Analysis of digital data either to prove or disprove whether the internet related theft has committed or not. Earlier Computer are used only for storing large volumes of data & perform many operations on it ,but now a days it has expanded & occupied prior role in Crime Investigation. In order to solve this cyber related problems, selection & usage of Forensic tools is very important. For better research and quick investigation, the developers have created many cyber forensic tools. Cop departments and investigation agencies select the tools based on various factors including budget and available experts on the team. This paper describes includes importance of computer forensics & its origin, forensic framework and different types of existing computer forensic tools and its usage.
