Background IoT forensics, a specialized branch of digital forensics, focuses on the recovery and analysis of digital evidence from Internet of Things (IoT) devices to reconstruct events involving these interconnected systems. Unlike traditional digital forensics, which primarily deals with data from servers, computers, and smartphones, IoT forensics encompasses a broader spectrum of evidence sources. This includes data from smart environments such as monitoring systems, traffic lights, medical implants, and smart home devices. The diversity and ubiquity of IoT devices present unique challenges in evidence identification, collection, and analysis, necessitating specialized approaches to effectively handle the vast and varied data generated within IoT ecosystems. The objective of this assessment is to investigate the unique challenges of IoT forensics and evaluate current methodologies in conducting IoT forensics. Critical analysis of existing literature to understand how IoT forensics differs from traditional digital forensics, focusing on the tools utilized, types of data analyzed, techniques and methodologies employed, and the overarching challenges encountered in this specialized area. Instrustions The report should provide a detailed and technical analysis of IoT forensics, focusing on the subject rather than offering general overviews or discussing non-technical aspects. The report should follow the format of an academic research paper, including abstract, keywords, clear sections and subsections, a references section, and an appendix if needed. The report must be unbiased and correctly cited using the APA referencing style.
