tracing techniques

Tracing techniques are methods used to follow the movement of digital data or activity within computer systems and networks. They help identify the origin, path, and details of data flows, such as emails, network requests, or code execution. For example, in cybersecurity, tracing can reveal how a threat entered a system or how data was accessed. These techniques involve analyzing logs, network traffic, or code execution paths to understand behavior and uncover issues or malicious activity. Essentially, tracing provides a detailed map of digital interactions, assisting professionals in diagnosing problems, securing systems, or investigating incidents.
