The Digital Fingerprinting Analysis of Generic Twitter Sessions from Internet of Things Security Aspect

摘要

Nowadays, the unparalleled growth of Internet of Things (IoT) is a new digital disruption which intelligent devices are connected and working together. IoT connects personal computers, tablets, and smart phones in our daily communications from leisure purposes to business tasks. However, the security concern of IoT can't be overemphasized due to the connectivity among communication gadgets. Sustainably, Twitter is one of the most popular Instant Message (IM) toolkits today. When Twitter is being utilized, there will be some negligible and imperceptible digital remnants left in the computing devices, which could be probative digital evidences in a court of law when IoT application is involved. Hence, the digital forensics of IM has been a relatively rigorous, competitive, and novel research field by the law enforcement agency officers and the information security staffs with respect to some cybercrimes concerning IoT. Consequently, this research is targeting on the utilization of Twitter on the desktop PC under Windows 7 operating system via the acquisition of volatile digital bread crumbs inside physical memory of the computing device for the purpose of presenting supportive digital evidences for some information security concerns. The proposed various scenarios in the design of the experiment could be the paradigms for digital forensics specialists or law enforcement agencies to follow in order to reconstruct the previous operations in the Twitter sessions of a certain user under the IoT ecosystems.
