Device Information for Forensic Analysis

Abstract

This document provides an overview of information for forensic analysis related to device name, serial number and model of devices used to connect to social networking platforms. The increasing use of social networking applications on smartphones makes these devices a gold mine for forensic researchers. Potential evidence can be captured on these devices and recovered with the right tools and research methods. The increasing proliferation of network devices in homes and buildings increases the possibilities of finding digital traces relevant to an investigation, physical or virtual: cyber-attacks, identity theft, etc. connected to the network can also find useful traces on the devices themselves found or stored in an associated cloud account that can be identified by device ID, model, and serial number.
