Digital evidence is what digital forensics is all about. The study of data gathering, processing, analysis, reporting, and detection is known as digital forensics. promoting digital forensics' application in law enforcement inquiries. You can use digital forensics to determine what information was stolen and how it was distributed or duplicated. Some hackers intentionally destroy data in order to cause harm to their targets. Important data may inadvertently be corrupted in other situations by malicious software or hacker activity. Security and integrity are issues that digital forensics must deal with. Because IoT devices are secure and reliable, they can gather digital forensic evidence in an IoT environment, endangering cybercrime agencies. Although there is a risk to confidentiality, numerous studies have been conducted recently to enhance the integrity and security of IoT-based digital forensics. Digital forensics continues to suffer security and manipulation challenges, according to recent studies. Therefore, a strategic and efficient approach that not only safeguards integrity and security but also foresees dangers is required. Thus, using blockchain technology and hashing algorithms, we offer a clever and practical alternative. Blockchain will be used to store the information gathered by IoT devices. Models enhanced by machine learning will be used to forecast anomalies in the data and transactions. Thus, the ability of the suggested model to anticipate attacks early on makes it effective.
