Comprehensive survey analyzes digital forensic tools across multiple computing domains, highlighting architectural trade-offs and imperatives for explainable AI and quantum computing.
This survey provides a comprehensive analysis of digital forensic investigation tools across disk, memory, mobile, network, cloud, and emerging forensic domains. It examines tool architectures, capabilities, limitations, performance trade-offs, legal considerations, and resistance to anti-forensic techniques. The paper also identifies key research gaps and discusses future directions, including explainable AI, standardized forensic frameworks, and quantum-assisted forensic computing.
