Abstract
Twenty first century has witnessed an explosive growth in use of computers and networks in every facet of life. With this explosive growth, new advancements in the field of secure computing, network technologies and systems have also been witnessed at an unprecedented rate. These developments have made existing digital forensics tools and techniques ineffective. Moreover, easy access to science of digital forensics and associated techniques has lead to use of anti-forensics measures by malicious actors to cover their traces. The paper highlights the impact of latest trends, technological advancement and use of anti-forensics measures on digital forensics along with the response of digital forensics to them. Shortfalls in the said response have also been covered along with recommended measures to address them. Moreover, historical perspective and established procedures of digital forensics are also discussed.Keywords
