Abstract

Mobile technologies can be, and have been, exploited in terrorist activities. In this paper, we highlight the importance of mobile forensics in the investigation of such activities. Specifically, using a series of controlled experiments on Android and Windows devices, we demonstrate how mobile forensic techniques can be used to recover evidentiary artefacts from client devices when popular cloud apps – Google Drive, Dropbox, and OneDrive – were used on the devices.
