In this podcast we explore the multifaceted field of digital forensics, detailing the tools, techniques, and ethical considerations involved in uncovering digital evidence. It explains how specialised software like EnCase and Autopsy, alongside hardware cloners and write-blockers, are used for disk imaging, file carving, and timeline analysis to reconstruct events from fragmented data. The discussion also highlight real-world applications, such as tracking ransomware, debunking deepfakes, and investigating intellectual property theft, while emphasising the critical importance of chain of custody and balancing truth-seeking with individual privacy. Finally, we touch upon the future of the discipline, acknowledging challenges like encrypted data and cloud forensics, and the transformative potential of AI and machine learning in evolving investigative methods, contrasting this with the concept of a "digital ghost" or a user's lingering data footprint online that the privacy source explores.
