Abstract
Wide usage of online applications has increased the risk of misuse of data by affecting privacy and security policies. Digital forensics is a process of solving criminal cases related to digital devices. Technical growth in this area is the expansion of forensic tools to collect the pieces of evidence. Database forensics is one of the categories of digital forensics. Database forensics covers the scanning of various parts of it for data recovery or finding data tampering. Forensic tools are available for most of the relational databases. Very few tools are available in the market for NoSQL databases. This paper is an attempt to present available digital forensic tools and to experiment with relevant free tools on the MongoDB database to check the usefulness.
