TL;DR: A comprehensive survey of cloud forensic literature published between January 2007 and December 2018 is performed, categorized using a five-step forensic investigation process, and a taxonomy of existing cloud forensic solutions is presented.
Abstract: The challenges of cloud forensics have been well-documented by both researchers and government agencies (e.g., U.S. National Institute of Standards and Technology), although many of the challenges remain unresolved. In this article, we perform a comprehensive survey of cloud forensic literature published between January 2007 and December 2018, categorized using a five-step forensic investigation process. We also present a taxonomy of existing cloud forensic solutions, with the aim of better informing both the research and practitioner communities, as well as an in-depth discussion of existing conventional digital forensic tools and cloud-specific forensic investigation tools. Based on the findings from the survey, we present a set of design guidelines to inform future cloud forensic investigation processes, and a summary of digital artifacts that can be obtained from different stakeholders in the cloud computing architecture/ecosystem.

TL;DR: The current results and analysis of the survey “Cloud forensics and critical criteria for cloud forensic capability” carried out towards digital forensic experts and practitioners are presented.
Abstract: In this paper we present the current results and analysis of the survey “Cloud forensics and critical criteria for cloud forensic capability” carried out towards digital forensic experts and practitioners. This survey was created in order to gain a better understanding on some of the key questions of the new field - cloud forensics - before further research and development. We aim to understand concepts such as its definition, the most challenging issues, most valuable research directions, and the critical criteria for cloud forensic capability.

TL;DR: This article describes some live analysis approaches as well as tools and techniques for live analysis on real and virtual machines.
Abstract: As computer technologies become increasingly ubiquitous, so must supporting digital forensics tools and techniques for efficiently and effectively analyzing associated systems' behavior. Live analysis is a logical and challenging step forward in this area and a method that has recently received increased R&D focus. This article describes some live analysis approaches as well as tools and techniques for live analysis on real and virtual machines. The discussion includes research challenges and open problems.
