“…With the proliferation of mobile phones, the use of social network services (SNS) has skyrocketed, this SNS stores a variety of data, including user conversations, user location information, personal networks, and user psychology which can be valuable evidence in a digital forensics investigation of an incident [14]. Other uses of social networking sites include, general chatting, broadcasting breaking news, setting up a date, tracking election results, planning disaster response, humour, and serious analysis [11].…”

The purpose of this paper is to retrieve, evaluate and analyse the available published articles in five (5) relevant online databases from 2011 to 2021 and also critically identify the phases and activities involved in an Online Social Networks Forensic Investigation based on bibliometric analysis and Degree of confidence respectively in order to know the evolution in the research domain. A systematic literature review (SLR) technique was adopted by the author to search using pre-defined keywords. Only scholarly articles published between 2011 and 2021 written in English were included in the search. The total of 316 subscribed documents were collected from the five (5) online databases based on the search criteria although twenty-nine (29) are duplicates. ScienceDirect has the highest number with 189 documents and the year 2020 with the highest published articles. Six (6) phases and forty-three (43) activities were identified. According to a review of the recovered publications, no previous research has been done to statistically retrieve, evaluate and analyse the level of work that has been done in the domain of OSNFI, as well as the phases and activities involved in the forensic investigation of an online social networks crime.

The incredible utilization of online media brought about significant advantages for mankind in their everyday life. In any case, its utilization was never intended for antagonistic maltreatment by an enormous number of individuals to hurt others, especially spying on their private life. As such, this has seen the issue of identity and social dangers skyrocketing in the recent past. The numerous calls for outright freedom of opinion and the privilege of the individual to talk about everything, away from legitimate punishments, just as obliviousness of numerous individuals of their privacy rights such as their right for protection, depict these acts. With these incidences being on the rise, there is the need for legislative intervention. It is based on these incidences that the study sought to investigate an account of civil liability on the violation of private life in social media. The study pointed out the effects of social media on the idea of the privilege of life security, the privilege of data protection, and the legal legislation on the infringement of protection in terms of the material and moral aspect (Gomez, 2021). The study involved the use of the descriptive and analytical approach whereby keywords were used to search relevant data on the subject of protection of private life and its infringement through social sites. The research inferred that there is confusion in ideas and applications with regard to the idea of private life. Also, because of the relationship between basic liberties and opinion, the civil laws become clear. Furthermore, as the result of the quick advancements in the field of social media, the subsequent specialized complexities of civil liability and controlling its sources are identified. The study suggested for additional discussions on this phenomenon and refreshing the continuous legislations to adapt to the quick and nonstop improvement of the technical revolution. Given what is popular today of the intentional display of individual information increasing via social media sites and the widespread phenomenon of spying the private life of others, this raises the issue of identity and social dangers coming about because of the digital presence of people. Dealing with abuses that influence them by governments, or any other parties, needs numerous directions on the most proficient method to secure them by updating the significant legitimate frameworks.

“…In other words, a major concern is tracing communications through the network (live/backup) packets, i.e., to identify the traces of the apps' or users' behavior, data breaches, and other illicit activities. Thus, encrypted network traffic analysis uncovers the network-related artifacts which can be beneficial to the forensic investigator and are shown great interest [16,17]. However, the provision of end-to-end encryption protects the data during transmission.…”

Encrypted Network Traffic Analysis of Secure Instant Messaging Application: A Case Study of Signal Messenger App

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Instant messaging applications (apps) have played a vital role in online interaction, especially under COVID-19 lockdown protocols. Apps with security provisions are able to provide confidentiality through end-to-end encryption. Ill-intentioned individuals and groups use these security services to their advantage by using the apps for criminal, illicit, or fraudulent activities. During an investigation, the provision of end-to-end encryption in apps increases the complexity for digital forensics investigators. This study aims to provide a network forensic strategy to identify the potential artifacts from the encrypted network traffic of the prominent social messenger app Signal (on Android version 9). The analysis of the installed app was conducted over fully encrypted network traffic. By adopting the proposed strategy, the forensic investigator can easily detect encrypted traffic activities such as chatting, media messages, audio, and video calls by looking at the payload patterns. Furthermore, a detailed analysis of the trace files can help to create a list of chat servers and IP addresses of involved parties in the events. As a result, the proposed strategy significantly facilitates extraction of the app’s behavior from encrypted network traffic which can then be used as supportive evidence for forensic investigation.
