“…More so, current tools and investigation processes emphasize analysing the plurality that comes with devices and investigation processes. This allows tools to conduct an extensive scan of the digital artifacts in memory, processes of devices, changes, and reconstructing current data-which is an important aspect of the mobile forensic technique [133], [134]. Additionally, a software tool named AnForA that can automate a different set of activities that need to undergo forensic activities has different properties (evidence precision, effectiveness, and repeatability) and this tool shows that it is possible to monitor the changes in file systems [135].…”

Mobile Forensics (MF) field uses prescribed scientific approaches with a focus on recovering Potential Digital Evidence (PDE) from mobile devices leveraging forensic techniques. Consequently, increased proliferation, mobile-based services, and the need for new requirements have led to the development of the MF field, which has in the recent past become an area of importance. In this article, the authors take a step to conduct a review on Mobile Forensics Investigation Process Models (MFIPMs) as a step towards uncovering the MF transitions as well as identifying open and future challenges. Based on the study conducted in this article, a review of the literature revealed that there are a few MFIPMs that are designed for solving certain mobile scenarios, with a variety of concepts, investigation processes, activities, and tasks. A total of 100 MFIPMs were reviewed, to present an inclusive and up-to-date background of MFIPMs. Also, this study proposes a Harmonized Mobile Forensic Investigation Process Model (HMFIPM) for the MF field to unify and structure whole redundant investigation processes of the MF field. The paper also goes the extra mile to discuss the state of the art of mobile forensic tools, open and future challenges from a generic standpoint. The results of this study find direct relevance to forensic practitioners and researchers who could leverage the comprehensiveness of the developed processes for investigation.INDEX TERMS Mobile forensics, investigation process model, digital forensics.
