Description: Optical media forensics refers to the analysis of data stored on optical devices such as CDs, DVDs, and Blu-rays. This field of digital forensics focuses on the recovery, analysis, and interpretation of the information contained in these media, which are often used for long-term data storage. Optical media are popular due to their ability to store large volumes of information and their resistance to degradation compared to other storage formats. The forensic process involves the use of specialized tools to extract data, even if it has been deleted or damaged. Additionally, a meticulous approach is required to ensure that the integrity of the data is maintained during analysis, which is crucial in legal and investigative contexts. Optical media forensics is essential in recovering digital evidence in cases of cybercrime, fraud, and other illegal activities, where data stored on these devices may be critical to solving cases.
