Computers, Materials & Continua· Volume 81· Issue 2

Abstract

Digital forensics aims to uncover evidence of cybercrimes within compromised systems. These cybercrimes are often perpetrated through the deployment of malware, which inevitably leaves discernible traces within the compromise... | Find, read and cite all the research you need on Tech Science Press
