Abstract

The illegal activities using mobile phones, computers, and the internet are rising, including pornography, online prostitution, identity theft, phishing, sniffing or snooping attacks, spamming or malware attacks. Internet crime or cyber-attacks play a pivotal role in impacting the system since we started using the internet. In this era, of digital world crimes are increasing at par. The advancement in the technology for detection of these crimes has revolutionary affected the forensic field. Starting from, the detection of digital crimes from small scale like Email Bombing to Denial of Services (DOS) at large scale. Furthermore, the sensitivity of detection is quite decisive hence, it is cardinal responsibility of forensic experts to investigate these types of crimes critically. An attempt has been made in this paper to percolate the significance of digital crimes, cybercrimes, and audio forensics. Additionally, it also focus the investigative tools and techniques for such crime. key messages: This paper elaborate the key features for investigation of Digital crimes, cybercrimes & Audio Forensics.
