"Digital forensics is still a young science. That newness, coupled with the fast-changing world of computer technology, has resulted in a digital forensics taxonomy that is poorly defined and confusing to computer security experts and law enforcement alike.
Network forensics is a sub-discipline of digital forensics, dealing with evidence that passes over a computer network. Network forensics can be applied to network security (checking organisational networks for vulnerabilities) or within traditional law enforcement and judicial contexts.
It's anticipated that in the near future, network forensics will be a common component of trial cases. As a result, having credible standards for network forensics is vital to the continued speed and fairness of the judicial system."
