Abstract
Digital forensics is a branch of forensics where investigator extracts, analyzes digital evidences, and produces into the court. Digital forensics is a scientific investigation to find data evidences from digital devices with the help of forensic tools or software. There is a variety of forensic tools available today. Choosing and using the best one can be a deciding factor in the court of law. Hence, need comes to give a sort of ranking and comparing forensic tools. Need is to test different forensic tools on certain parameters by preparing test cases. Testing and categorization or mapping may help investigating officers and forensic experts to choose the best tool among all available for better crime examination and identification of evidences. Categorization of different forensic tools can result in saving of time while choosing a tool.
