3.1 Introduction

Digital forensics is a vast field; it has to deal with systems and data that are associated with it. Intelligent digital forensics serves as a valuable technique for enhancing system security and analysis capabilities. It aids in the proactive management of information and computer vulnerabilities, thereby mitigating potential risks. In digital forensics, the dedicated investigator is required to collect or gather information and evidence while making sure no data or evidence is lost, harmed, or modified. The investigator then would have to make a report of all their findings. Preserving the digital evidence is a very important task in digital forensics, analyzing the digital evidence, and then making an analytic report of the investigation all fall under the field of digital forensics.
