Investigators can recreate an intruder's activities and recover lost files thanks to the various forensic technologies. Conclusion: Cybercrime detectives and academics are becoming increasingly interested in Anti- forensic. The exchange of knowledge can be facilitated by a formal definition of anti-digital forensics and common terminology that is relevant to it and makes it possible for better mitigating measures. Any attempts to change, interrupt, negate, or otherwise interfere with forensic investigations that are supported by science are antiforensics. They categorise anti-forensic mechanisms, tactics, and methods and assess their effectiveness.
