The complexity of internet of things forensics: A state-of-the-art review

The rapid growth and usefulness of Internet Things (IoT) has seen it being deployed in critical strategic infrastructure sectors like healthcare, transport, agriculture, home automation, smart industries among many others. benefits comfort reliability IoT technologies to human beings have brought with them security concerns. This is due its large-scale connectivity over reliance on the internet for communication making susceptible cyberattacks. Digital forensics experts face a daunting task handling these cyberattacks because unique complex challenges posed by IoT. Recently, researchers been drawn finding solutions challenges, however, this still infancy. paper carries out Systematic Literature Review (SLR) current research advancements forensics. We define key fundamentals, applications, need forensics, identify factors affecting review practicality available frameworks, models, methodologies. SLR reveals gaps indicating that most more theoretical than practical. There practical approaches tackle challenges. Finally, future directions from SLR, we highlighted discussed open requirements • Definitions fundamentals applications. Affirmation Forensics exposing gaps. Future Forensics.
