“…Users trust their mobile devices by using them for a wide variety of purposes with the help of the available applicationsfrom communicating with family and friends to shopping and maintaining their finances online [23], [24]. This makes mobile devices a very good yet poorly protected source of valuable information [25]. Naturally, the more users trust their mobile devices, the more attractive these devices become to attackers with malicious intents [19], [21], [26].…”

This paper uses a scenario-based role-play experiment based on the usage of QR codes to detect how mobile users respond to social engineering attacks conducted via mobile devices. The results of this experiment outline a guided mobile phone forensics investigation method which could facilitate the work of digital forensics investigators while analysing the data from mobile devices. The behavioural response of users could be impacted by several aspects, such as impulsivity, smartphone usage and security or simply awareness that QR codes could contain malware. The findings indicate that the impulsivity of users is one of the key areas that determine the common mistakes of mobile device users. As a result, an investigative framework for mobile phone forensics is proposed based on the impulsivity and common mistakes of mobile device users. As a result, an investigative framework for mobile phone forensics is proposed based on the impulsivity and common mistakes of mobile device users. It could help the forensics investigators by potentially shortening the time spent on investigation of possible breach scenarios.

“…Smartphones are a common source of evidence in both criminal investigations and civil litigations [20,21,22,23,24,25]. However, the constant evolution and nature (e.g., closed source operating system and diverse range of proprietary hardware) of mobile devices and mobile apps complicates forensic investigations [26].…”

Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) applications (apps) provide convenient and low cost means for users to communicate and share information with each other in real-time. Day by day, the popularity of such apps is increasing, and people produce and share a huge amount of data, including their personal and sensitive information. This might lead to several privacy issues, such as revealing user contacts, private messages or personal photos. Therefore, having an up-to-date forensic understanding of these apps is necessary.This chapter presents analysis of forensically valuable remnants of three popular Mobile VoIP (mVoIP) apps on Google Play store, namely: Viber, Skype, and WhatsApp Messenger, in order to figure out to what extent these apps reveal forensically valuable information about the users activities. We performed a thorough investigative study of these three mVoIP apps on smartphone devices. Our experimental results show that several artefacts, such as messages, contact details, phone numbers, images, and video files, are recoverable from the smartphone device that is equipped with these mVoIP apps.

“…Many investigation tools were developed to assist acquisition, collation, and analysis of data in ways that maintain the chain of evidence (Massie, 2014). Mobile forensic investigators are required to integrate technology and law in investigation of many traditional crimes such as drug dealing, copyright infringement, etc, which are facilitated by mobile and cloud technologies (Mohsen Damshenas, Ali Dehghantanha, Ramlan Mahmoud, 2013;Yusoff, Mahmod, & Abdullah, 2014). Audio files, images, videos, messages, notes and emails are just a few possible remnants that can be extracted during mobile investigations from social networking, instant messaging and cloud and mobile platforms (Aminnezhad & Dehghantanha, 2013;Daryabar et al, 2016;Seyedhossein Mohtasebi & Dehghantanha, 2011;SH Mohtasebi, 2011;Yang, Dehghantanha, Choo, & Muda, 2016).…”

Mobile phones have been playing a very significant role in our daily activities for the last decade. With the increase need for these devices, people are now more reliant on their smartphone applications for their daily tasks and many prefer to save their mobile data on a cloud platform to access them anywhere on any device. Cloud technology is the new way for better data storage, as it offers better security, more flexibility, and mobility. Many smartphones have been investigated as subjects, objects or tools of the crime. Many of these investigations include analysing data stored through cloud storage apps which contributes to importance of cloud apps forensics on mobile devices. In this paper, various cloud Android applications are analysed using the forensics tool XRY and a forensics taxonomy for investigation of these apps is suggested. The proposed taxonomy reflects residual artefacts retrievable from 31 different cloud applications. It is expected that the proposed taxonomy and the forensic findings in this paper will assist future forensic investigations involving cloud based storage applications.
