abstract

  • The rapid expansion and diversity of technology throughout society have impacted the growing knowledge gap in conducting analysis on IoT devices. The IoT digital forensic field lacks the necessary tools and guidance to perform digital forensics on these devices. This is mainly attributed to their level of complexity and heterogeneity that is abundant within IoT devices-making the use of a JTAG technique one of the only ways to acquire information stored on an IoT device effectively. Nonetheless, utilizing a JTAG technique can be challenging, especially when having multiple devices with each possibly having its own configuration. To alleviate these issues within the field, we propose the development of an Internet of Things-Forensics Recovery Assistant (IoT-FRA). The IoT-FRA will offer the capabilities of an expert system to assist inexperienced users in performing forensics recovery of IoT devices through a JTAG technique and analysis on the device's capabilities to develop an organized method that will prioritize IoT devices to be analyzed.
