What is an Internet cache and why is it of interest to forensic examiners?

What will be an ideal response?


An Internet cache is a space on a computer’s hard disk drive (HDD) to which information from Web pages is stored (cached) when the user is online. Because much of this information remains in the cache, the Internet cache is a potential source of evidence for the computer investigator. A forensic examiner can reconstruct portions of or even entire Web pages from data in the Internet cache, even after the files have been deleted.
