Abstract

With the advent of information and communication technologies, e-mail is one of the prime tools for communication. Almost everyone uses emails for business communications as well as for sharing personal information. E-mail is vulnerable against cybercrimes. This chapter focuses on the basic concepts of web forensics and then provides an insight about the e-mailing policies, email architecture, and existing investigation techniques used by forensic investigators. Most of the organizations implement some standard e-mailing policies; however, it is not sufficient to handle and prevent the digital crimes. We need to monitor and investigate emails for proper check. This chapter discusses some prominent tools and techniques through which forensic experts can gather and analyze data about suspected email accounts for investigation and produce evidence in the court of law.
