“…With mobiles phones come challenges including a rapidly dynamic change in its landscape, an everincreasing diversity, the integration of its data into the Cloud and into the Internet of Things. In line manner, cybercrime is growing rapidly, targeting the exploitation and retrieval of information from mobiles, thus increasing the importance of Forensics and its branches Digital and Mobile Forensics (Sathe & Dongre, 2018;Omeleze & Venter, 2013).…”

One of the main topics that is discussed today is how can a person leverage technology in a positive and secure way in order to enhance their lives. However, with improvements in technology comes challenges; the concern that people have over their privacy and the safeguard of sensitive information being the greatest. In fact, one of the most used technologies is the mobile, which can take different forms, features, and shapes and create, store, delete, and transfer various types of data that can be evidence for the forensics fields. As such, this chapter proposes a different approach to this field by conglomerating and researching for all the information available and aiming at building a comprehensive systematic literature review on the topics of forensics, digital and mobile device forensics using the PRISMA methodology, with the intent of supporting and enhancing the mobile device forensics investigation process and allowing for a more robust and up-to-date knowledge base by breaking through the techniques available.

“…As an approach to investigating android phone, the knowledge of the structure and composition of android OS is inevitable. Android smartphones are mobile devices whose operating system (OS) are same but with diverse producers [34]. It is an Open-source Linux kernel based OS developed to enable and enhance software binding and compatibility within the context of different prototypes of smartphone devices.…”

The fast-growing nature of instant messaging applications usage on Android mobile devices brought about a proportional increase on the number of cyber-attack vectors that could be perpetrated on them. Android mobile phones store significant amount of information in the various memory partitions when Instant Messaging (IM) applications (WhatsApp, Skype, and Facebook) are executed on them. As a result of the enormous crimes committed using instant messaging applications, and the amount of electronic based traces of evidence that can be retrieved from the suspect’s device where an investigation could convict or refute a person in the court of law and as such, mobile phones have become a vulnerable ground for digital evidence mining. This paper aims at using forensic tools to extract and analyse left artefacts digital evidence from IM applications on Android phones using android studio as the virtual machine. Digital forensic investigation methodology by Bill Nelson was applied during this research. Some of the key results obtained showed how digital forensic evidence such as call logs, contacts numbers, sent/retrieved messages, and images can be mined from simulated android phones when running these applications. These artefacts can be used in the court of law as evidence during cybercrime investigation.
