Anti-Forensics Methods

Definition

Techniques used to hinder or prevent forensic analysis of digital data. These methods aim to corrupt, delete, or obscure evidence, making it difficult for investigators to recover or interpret information from compromised systems or transactions. Such approaches are frequently employed by malicious actors in cybercrime to conceal their activities and identities within digital environments. They seek to disrupt the chain of evidence and impede attribution efforts.
