Description: Logical evidence collection is the process of gathering digital information from electronic devices, such as computers, mobile phones, and servers, that can be used in forensic investigations. Unlike physical evidence, which refers to tangible objects, logical evidence focuses on data and files residing in the digital environment. This type of evidence can include emails, activity logs, text files, images, and other data stored on devices. Logical evidence collection is crucial in the field of digital forensics, as it allows investigators to reconstruct events, identify behavioral patterns, and establish connections between different elements of a case. To carry out this process, specialized tools and techniques are used to ensure the integrity and authenticity of the collected data, preventing any alteration that could compromise its validity in a legal context. Logical evidence collection is not only fundamental in criminal investigations but also applies to cases of fraud, violations of corporate policies, and legal disputes, where digital information can be decisive in resolving conflicts.
