Abstract

In this paper, cloud storage forensics technique and tools are analyzed. The main focus of the paper is on the challenges encountered when dealing with cloud forensics, digital cloud forensics framework, techniques and processes undertaken during the investigation, and the software and hardware tools used. Some of the legal aspects of cloud forensics, that forensics investigators need to be familiar with, are also mentioned. The paper also illustrates a case study that aims to complete and simulate the whole process on a hypothetical example.
