Abstract In an era where the battlegrounds of warfare have transcended physical landscapes to the intricate realm of computers and technology, the adage that the next World War will be fought through circuits and algorithms holds true. The advent of smart technologies, epitomized by the remote computing, Internet of Things (IoT), and artificial intelligence, is reshaping urban landscapes into smart cities. These connected metropolises harness innovations, like the interweb and IoT, seamlessly integrating real-time data exchanges that enhance the day-to-day lives of their residents. As our world hurtles toward a digital frontier propelled by rapid technological evolution, the symbiosis between humanity and the digital realm becomes increasingly pronounced. However, this adaptation comes at a cost exposing vulnerabilities to cybercrimes and breaches of privacy that compromise the security of individuals. In response to these challenges, the field of cyber forensics has emerged encompassing domains, such as cloud forensics and investigations, into social networking platforms. This chapter explores the multifaceted landscape of digital forensics, weaving together various disciplines including network forensics, computer jurisprudence, online gaming, and social media forensics. The dynamic evolution of technology has not only transformed the global landscape but has also driven this chapter toward a profound paradigm shift in its approach to understanding and addressing cybercrimes. Technologies, like cloud forensics and social media forensics, play a pivotal role providing cybersecurity experts with digital footprints essential for identifying and apprehending cybercriminals. By delving into the intricacies of digital forensics, the analysis within this chapter unravels the nuances of emerging fields. From the initial stages of recognition and pre-capture to the critical steps of inspection, affirmation, and evidence handling, the methodologies presented shed light on the novel dimensions of digital forensics in our technologically driven age. © 2025 Scrivener Publishing LLC.
