Introduction to Digital Forensics
Digital forensics is a specialized field focused on the identification, collection,
preservation, analysis, and presentation of digital evidence in a manner that is
legally admissible in court. It plays a critical role in investigating cybercrimes,
ensuring data integrity, and supporting legal disputes involving digital devices and
data.

Abstract
The objective of this project is to develop a convient browser for detecting and
preventing cyber crimes. It involves a systematic process of identifying, preserving,
collecting, and examining digital data while ensuring its integrity and admissibility
in court. With the rise of cybercrime, digital forensics plays a crucial role in
investigating incidents like hacking, fraud, and data breaches
