Abstract
The ever-evolving landscape of technology and its innovations are populating our houses, streets and all kinds of industries. The use of smart devices is booming from most developed nations to underdeveloped countries. The complications which come with the use of the Internet of Things has been an active discussion for the past many years. If we look around in a room of 30 people, we will most likely find double the amount of IoT devices than the people in that room. All of those devices are connected to the Internet, and are communicating with data servers across the world. The user's credentials are stored in one of these data center, and can be tampered with. The real question is how this digital data can be used forensically during a forensic investigation, and the timeline associated with those investigations. The proposed research allows us to understand the complications with forensics of IoT devices, implementing different scenarios and user cases such as diverse populations across different parts of the world, and different versions of the same devices by different vendors.
