Cyber forensics deals with the investigation and analysis of computer systems involved in cyber crimes, while digital forensics involves any digital device for the purpose of a legal investigation. Cyber forensics is a branch of digital forensics that focuses specifically on computer systems and networks. Both fields involve the identification, collection, preservation, analysis and presentation of digital evidence from various devices in relation to crimes. Proper collection and preservation of digital evidence requires following protocols like photographing devices, noting identifying details, removing power sources safely if destructive devices are suspected, and securely storing devices to prevent damage prior to analysis.

3. Introduction to Cyber Forensics:
• Cyber forensics is a branch of forensic science which deals with the
investigation, analysis techniques on computers.
• Cyber Forensic is also referred as Computer Forensic as it includes
computer system indulged in Cyber Crime.
• Cyber Forensic aids in an investigation, collection and preservation of
Evidences for legal purposes.

4. What is Cyber Crime:
• Cybercrime is a criminal activity that uses a computer or a computer
network or a networked device. Cybercrime is carried out by an
individual or organizations to gain profit or to make damage to an
individual or organization.
• There are three major categories that cybercrime falls into:
a)Individual
b) Property
c) government.

5. Introduction to Digital Forensics:
• Digital Forensic is a branch of Forensic Science which deals with the
investigation, recovery and analysis of data from Digital devices.
• Digital forensics includes any digital device, such as computer, digital
networks, digital phones, digital watch, digital calculator, flash drive,
etc.
• Devices which understand and works on the language 0 and 1 are
considered as Digital devices.

6. Difference between Cyber Forensics and
Digital Forensics:
Cyber Forensics
• It includes computer system for
the commission of cyber crime.
• It involves network i.e., internet
in various crimes.
Digital Forensics
• It includes not only computer but
also other digital devices tlfor the
commission of cyber crime.
• It can also work in the absence of
internet.

7. Conclusion:
Digital Forensics
Cyber
Forensics
• Cyber Forensics is a branch of Digital
Forensics as computer is also
considered as a digital device.
• Cyber Forensics and Digital Forensics
link together in identification,
collection, preservation, analysis and
presentation of digital evidences.

8. Collection and Preservation of Digital
Evidence:
• Determine the device is in On or OFF condition.
• Videograph and photograph the device.
• Note down the device model number and serial number.
• If any destructive device is suspected, remove the main plug
immediately without shutting it down.
• Investigator must also look for CD, DVD, Flash drives, note pads, etc.
• Pack the collected devices in anti-static bag to prevent any kind of
radiations.

9. Collection and Preservation of Digital
Evidence:
• Place the devices in boxes or evidence bags and label them.
• Keep the devices safe and secure from magnets, extreme temperatures
and other damages.
• Once all the evidences are collected and preserved, it can be sent to
laboratory for further analysis.
