INTRODUCTION

Technologies are used to perpetrate crimes, and law enforcement in

creasingly employs computer systems to fight crime because of the
rising science of virtual proof forensics. The information recorded or

transferred in digital shape that may be utilised in the courtroom is re-

ferred to as virtual evidence. It may be located on a PC (Personal Com-

puter), fixed disc, or a cellular cell phone. Digital crimes, or e-crimes,

consisting of child pornography or credit card fraud, are often con-

nected with virtual proof. Virtual proof, however, is being employed

within the prosecution of all types of crimes, not solely for e-crimes.
Suspects’ email or cell telephone documents may encompass important

proof about their purpose, whereabouts at the time of the crime, and

relationships with different suspects. For instance, in 2005, a floppy

disk led the government to the BTK (Bind, Torture, Kill) serial assas-

sin, who had prevented police arrest for the reason that 1974 and killed

at least ten people. The medical gathering, evaluation, and renovation

of statistics contained in electronic media that can be used as proof in
a court of regulation are known as virtual forensics. Now police regu-

lation enforcement groups are incorporating virtual forensics into their

infrastructure to combat e-crime and acquire relevant virtual evidence

for all offences.
