The sustainability of digital forensics depends on the use of appropriate technology to curb various forms of cybercrimes. When such illegal activities (cybercrimes) are carried out, it is essential for digital forensic investigators to identify the malicious usages, the dynamics of the crime, identify the perpetrators or the individuals behind the crime, reconstruct the crime patterns, interpret the criminal activities and charge the personalities involved to the court of law. These benefits can also be exploited by malicious users to carry out illegal activities. The easy accessibility of stored data on the cloud storage with the use of wide range of digital devices offers both the economic and technical opportunities to its subscribers. This study increases the knowledge of cloud storage forensics and the significance of registry analysis during digital investigations.

The study explores different experimental setups for the forensic analysis and adopted an integrated conceptual digital forensic framework in the investigation process to detect relevant forensic artifacts from the registry of a windows 10 device. This study identifies relevant artifacts that can be forensically extracted from the registry of a window 10 device that accessed iDrive cloud storage. Therefore, there is a need to perform client-side forensics to be able to carry out forensic investigation on digital devices as related to the activities on cloud storage. The logs of malicious usages can be obtained from the cloud service providers for forensic investigations but the privacy issue among other factors make it difficult for such logs to be shared. These benefits can also be exploited by the cybercriminals to perform various criminal activities including storing and exchanging of illegal materials on cloud storage platforms. The tools that did exist weren't standardized, so they could only be used on certain makes and models, such as a tool that could only hack a Nokia phone.The accessibility of cloud storage over the internet as a result of cloud computing technology provides the opportunity to store, share and upload data online with the use of digital devices which can be accessed anytime and anywhere. Plus, there weren't many reliable forensic tools for extracting data. They had phone logs, some texts, and perhaps a few photos. While early mobile devices were groundbreaking at the time, they had limited capabilities and therefore didn't carry much useful evidence for law enforcement. He started back in 2003 with PDAs (personal digital assistants) such as palm pilots and the Windows mobile PDA, then basic feature phones, and the first iPhones. During that time, he witnessed the evolution of mobile phones and the forensic tools that are used to investigate them. The Evolution of Mobile ForensicsĪyers has been working on mobile forensics for the United States government for the last 17 years. He told ZDNet that modern forensic techniques are effective, although that hasn't always been the case. "If the phone has some structural damage or thermal damage, or liquid damage, you're still able to sometimes bypass that," says Rick Ayers, the NIST digital forensics expert who led the study. These experts are racing to protect AI from hackers.
