Isolating a cloud instance for a digital forensic investigation
Cloud Computing is gaining acceptance and increasing in popularity. Organizations often rely on Cloud resources to effectively replace their in house computer systems. In a Cloud environment an instance is typically accepted to be a virtual system resource established within that Cloud. Multiple instances can be contained a single node. The Cloud itself consists of multiple nodes. The Cloud str...
متن کاملProcedures for a Harmonised Digital Forensic Process in Live Forensics
Cloud computing is a novel computing paradigm that presents new research opportunities in the field of digital forensics. Cloud computing is based on the following principles: on-demand self-service, broad network access, resource pooling, rapid elasticity and measured service. These principles require that cloud computing be distributed internationally. Even if the cloud is hosted locally, it ...
متن کاملA State-of-the-Art Review of Cloud Forensics
Cloud computing and digital forensics are emerging fields of technology. Unlike traditional digital forensics where the target environment can be almost completely isolated, acquired and can be under the investigators control; in cloud environments, the distribution of computation and storage poses unique and complex challenges to the investigators. Recently, the term “cloud forensics” has an i...
متن کاملStaas Clouds Using the Open Cloud Forensics Model
The rapid adoption of cloud computing to meet storage and computation needs has changed the way computing services and resources are used. However, because of the black-box nature and multi-tenant usage models of clouds, existing digital forensics science cannot cope with current state-of-the-art cloud architectures. Because of the fundamental characteristics of such clouds, many assumptions of...
