FORENSICS COMPARISON 2

Introduction

Digital forensics is also known as digital forensic science. It refers to the recovery and

investigations of digital devices such as cell phones, digital cameras, and computers while network

forensics is a smaller division of the digital/computer forensics which does crosschecking and

analysis of machine network flow for collecting data (Garfinkel, 2010). Also, its investigation

deals with volatile and dynamic data. The following discussion analyses precisely the differences

between digital forensics and network forensics.

Differences

Digital forensics usually preserve their information in the desk while network forensics is

more volatile and unpredictable. The CDs used to write data can get easily retrieved in the case of

digital forensic experts. Available data can get extracted but using complicated procedures and

take too long in the case of a network judicial since the path followed becomes hard.

The primary use for a digital forensic is to find out if a gadget has been used for unlawful

purposes for instance PC hacking, storing illegal pornography or recording of illicit activities

whereas network forensics got three primary purposes. Operational intelligence which entails the

manifest in metrics visibility into availability and performance. Security and compliance used in

the indemnification of traffic patterns that looks malicious attempted breach and malware. Lastly,

it's the customer insight, is a business performance analysis which includes full-time monitoring

event impacts and correlations (Garfinkel, 2002).

Conclusion

In summary, the contrasts provided give a vast operational dynamic on the intelligence

used and the modern technological aspects of the whole forensics study. Networks and websites
