Smartphone is a very useful and compact device that fits in person's pocket, but at the same time it can be used as a tool for criminal activities. In this day and age, people increasingly rely on smart phones rather than desktop computers or laptops to exchange messages, share videos and audio messages. A smartphone is almost equivalent in its application to a PC, hence there are security risks associated with its use such as carrying out a digital crime or becoming a victim of one. Criminals can use smartphones for a number of activities. Namely, committing a fraud over e-mail, harassment via text messages, drug trafficking, child pornography, communications related to narcotics, etc. It is a great challenge for forensic experts to extract data from a smartphone for forensic purposes that can be used as evidence in the court of law. In this case study, I show how to obtain the root access of Samsung S3 phone, how to create DD image and then how to examine DD image via commercial tool like UFED physical analyzer trial version which doesn't support Android devices? I will extract the messages for Viber on trial version of UFED Physical analyzer.

Abstract-Smartphones have created a significant impact on the day-to-day activities of every individual. Now-a-days a wide range of Smartphone applications are available and it necessitates high computing resources in order to build these applications. Cloud computing offers enormous resources and extends services to resource-constrained mobile devices. Mobile Cloud Computing (MCC) is emerging as a key technology to utilize virtually unlimited resources over the Internet using Smartphones. Offloading data and computations to improve productivity, enhance performance, save energy, and improve user experience. Social network applications largely utilize MCC to reap the benefits. The social network has witnessed unprecedented growth in the recent years, and millions of registered users access it using Smartphones. The mobile cloud social network applications introduce not only convenience but also various issues related to criminal and illegal activities. Despite being primarily used to communicate and socialize with contacts, the multifarious and anonymous nature of social networking websites increases susceptibility to cybercrimes. Taking into account, the advantage of mobile cloud computing and popularity of social network applications, it is essential to establish a forensic framework based on mobile cloud platform that solves the problems of today's forensic requirements. In this paper we present a mobile cloud forensic framework that allows the forensic investigator to collect the automated synchronized copies of data on both mobile and cloud servers to prove the evidence of cloud usage. We also show our preliminary results of this study.

Smartphones have become popular in recent days due to the accessibility of a wide range of applications. These sophisticated applications demand more computing resources in a resource constraint smartphone. Cloud computing is the motivating factor for the progress of these applications. The emerging mobile cloud computing introduces a new architecture to offload smartphone and utilize cloud computing technology to solve resource requirements. The popularity of mobile cloud computing is an opportunity for misuse and unlawful activities. Therefore, it is a challenging platform for digital forensic investigations due to the non-availability of methodologies, tools and techniques. The aim of this work is to analyze the forensic tools and methodologies for crime investigation in a mobile cloud platform as it poses challenges in proving the evidence.

Therefore, it is a challenging platform for digital forensic investigations due to the non-availability of methodologies, tools and techniques. The aim of this work is to analyze the forensic tools and methodologies for crime investigation in a mobile cloud platform as it poses challenges in proving the evidence. The advancement of forensic tools and methodologies are much slower than the current technology development in mobile cloud computing. Thus, forces the available tools, and techniques become increasingly obsolete.Therefore, it opens up the door for the new forensic tools and techniques to cope up with recent developments. Hence, this work presents a detailed survey of forensic methodology and corresponding issues in a mobile device, cloud environment, and mobile cloud applications. It mainly focuses on digital forensic issues related to mobile cloud applications and also analyze the scope, challenges and opportunities. Finally, this work reviewed the forensic procedures of two cloud storage services used for mobile cloud applications such as Dropbox and SkyDrive.

This manual aims to make information resources and technical advice available in order to support the deployment of biopesticides, which include microbials (e.g. bacteria, algae, protozoa, viruses and fungi), macrobials (e.g. predatory insects, parasitoids and beneficial nematodes), botanicals, and semiochemicals. It is intended to be a one-stop shop to address the information needs of the key groups who are responsible for selecting, sourcing and using biopesticides in the tobacco production system. These groups represent the target audiences, all of whom have challenges they must address and varying information needs (i.e. selecting biopesticides, sourcing biopesticides and training for field technicians and farmers on how to use biopesticides).
