The development of information security issues in many sectors makes the skill of mastering digital forensic highly needed. Digital forensic is recently used not only to support legal proceedings but also to investigate many incidents like digital data manipulation, site hacking, and terrorism. In mastering the skill of digital forensic, investigators should have knowledge about the techniques and tools that will be used. This research is proposed to help investigators in enhancing and developing their skills in revealing the content of digital evidence with the result reviews from each area in the forensic field. The review in this study is based on the focus of the forensic area by giving detailed information about the functions, limitations, and advantages as well as the specific techniques of forensics that leads to the techniques of live forensic or static forensic. This research also discusses the non-technical things that affect the performance of forensic investigation including operational activities, investigated activities, and legal elements. Thus, the result of this research is expected to be beneficial for helping investigators in determining the appropriate tools to investigate the digital evidence. The further research can develop the activities of anti-forensics that can hinder the investigation processes.

The number of cyber attacks has increased tremendously in the last few years. This resulted into both human and financial losses at the individual and organization levels. Recently, cyber-criminals are leveraging new skills and capabilities by employing anti-forensics activities, techniques and tools to cover their tracks and evade any possible detection. Consequently, cyber-attacks are becoming more efficient and more sophisticated. Therefore, traditional cryptographic and non-cryptographic solutions and access control systems are no longer enough to prevent such cyber attacks, especially in terms of acquiring evidence for attack investigation. Hence, the need for well-defined, sophisticated, and advanced forensics investigation tools are highly required to track down cyber criminals and to reduce the number of cyber crimes. This paper reviews the different forensics and anti-forensics methods, tools, techniques, types, and challenges, while also discussing the rise of the anti-anti-forensics as a new forensics protection mechanism against anti-forensics activities. This would help forensics investigators to better understand the different anti-forensics tools, methods and techniques that cyber criminals employ while launching their attacks. Moreover, the limitations of the current forensics techniques are discussed, especially in terms of issues and challenges. Finally, this paper presents a holistic view from a literature point of view over the forensics domain and also helps other fellow colleagues in their quest to further understand the digital forensics domain.

Cloud computing is an important step in our era, delivering many advantages in business and our daily life. However, as every new technology, various challenges are brought into light with one of them being the misuse of Cloud computing environments for criminal activities. As such, Cloud service providers have to establish adequate forensic capabilities in order to support forensics investigations in the event of illegal activities in the cloud. In order to help forensics investigations, this paper deals with log format unification in cloud platforms using Distributed Management Task Force's (DMTF) Cloud Auditing Data Federation (CADF) standard. CADF event logging is utilised in the widely used OpenStack, and we have modified the Apache CloudStack platform to become forensically sound. Furthermore, we investigated the existing CloudStack platform along with the proposed CADF event model implemented, with regards to the principles of the Association of Chief Police Officers (ACPO) on handling digital evidence. The results are provided in this paper as well as an automated parsing tool/CADF event consumer, named C.Lo.D, which is freely available and can be downloaded from Github.
