Explanation
Discovery is the pre-trial legal process by which parties in a lawsuit obtain evidence from each other and from third parties. It includes tools such as interrogatories (written questions answered under oath), depositions (oral testimony recorded under oath), requests for production of documents, requests for admissions, and physical inspections. In digital forensics, discovery often involves collecting and preserving electronically stored information (ESI). Spoliation refers to the destruction or alteration of evidence; Hearsay is an out-of-court statement offered as evidence; Detection is a general investigative term, not a legal process.
