Full textAbstract:
Digital forensics investigations are an important task for collecting evidence based on the artifacts left in computer systems for computer related crimes. The requirements of such investigations are often a neglected aspect in most of the existing models of digital investigations. Therefore, a formal and systematic approach is needed to provide a framework for modeling and reasoning about the requirements of digital investigations. In addition, anti-forensics situations make the forensic investigation process challenging by contaminating any stage of the investigation process, its requirements, or by destroying the evidence. Therefore, successful forensic investigations require understanding the possible anti-forensic issues during the investigation. In this paper, the authors present a new method for guiding digital forensics investigations considering the anti-forensics based on goal-driven requirements engineering methodologies, in particular KAOS. Methodologies like KAOS facilitate modeling and reasoning about goals, requirements and obstacles, as well as their operationalization and responsibility assignments. The authors believe that this new method will lead in the future to better management and organization of the various steps of forensics investigations in cyberspace as well as provide more robust grounds for reasoning about forensic evidence.

Digital Forensics investigation is the science and legal process of investigating computer/cybercrimes and digital media or objects to gather evidence. This new and fast evolving field encompasses computer forensics, network forensics, mobile forensics, cloud computing forensics, and IoT forensics; and for this reason have digital evidence distributed widely when the need arises for crime prosecution. Digital evidence must be authentic, accurate, complete, and convincing to the jury for legal admissibility at the court of law. In many instances due to the distributed nature of digital forensic evidence and the legal procedures to be adhered to in evidence gathering at a digital crime scene, presenting at the law courts have proven to be challenging and in some instances inadmissible. Following legal procedures in evidence gathering at a digital crime scene is critical for admissibility and prosecution. This paper aims to discuss digital forensics investigations jurisprudence in relation to distributed digital evidence. For the study to be relevant to policy and practice, forensic tools and frameworks, legal and ethical obligations, and digital evidence handling and admissibility are highlighted. This paper does not follow any forensic investigations process; but rather discusses the need for development and implementation of unique frameworks that could be utilised to gather distributed digital evidence required for admissibility in court.

The rise of cybercrime and cyber-related crime encourages efficient digital forensic investigations more crucial than ever before. Traditional investigation methods can be time-consuming, costly, and resource-intensive, while machine learning algorithms have the potential to reduce the complexity by promoting automation and investigation capabilities. This study begins with an analysis of digital forensics framework using a document analysis methodology. Moreover, exploring current practice and potential implementation of machine learning in digital forensics for fraud investigation is demonstrated through the features of Autopsy 4.15.0, a widely known digital forensics tool. The findings suggest the implementation of a comprehensive digital forensic framework that prioritizes the interpretation phase, with the support of machine learning capabilities. At present, machine learning mainly supports the analysis phase, which happens to be the most time-intensive process of digital forensic investigations. Furthermore, as fraud investigation has a role of fraud detection and prevention, current digital forensics procedures do not support the fraud detection and prevention process, despite the potential for machine learning to support this through pattern recognition.These discoveries are particularly significant in the fight against fraudulent activities, such as tax fraud, data fraud, financial fraud, and asset misappropriation, in the digital age.

Investigation in the field of network forensics involves examining network traffic to identify, capture, preserve, reconstruct, analyze, and document network crimes. Although there are different perspectives on the practical and technical aspects of network forensics, there is still a lack of fundamental guidelines. This paper proposes a new detection and investigation model for capturing and analyzing network crimes, using design science research. The proposed model involves six processes: identification, verification, gathering, preservation, examination, analysis, and documentation. Each process is associated with several activities that provide the investigation team with a clear picture of exactly what needs to be performed. In addition, the proposed model has a unique activity, namely reporting. As a result, this model represents a comprehensive approach to network forensics investigations. It is designed to work in conjunction with established forensic techniques to ensure that forensic evidence from the network is collected and analyzed efficiently and effectively following accepted forensic procedures. The proposed model was compared with existing models in terms of completeness, showing that it is complete and can be adapted to any type of network and legal framework.

Abstract: Crimes committed using computers are increasing rapidly, posing a challenge to law enforcement. Investigations including cybercrime, terrorism, and civil litigation all make use of digital forensics today. Because of the ever-increasing sophistication of modern technology, forensic investigations of this sort can quickly become difficult and time-consuming. In order to successfully retrieve meaningful digital evidence during such investigations, however, a standard framework for digital forensic professionals to follow must be developed. All appropriate steps that a digital forensic investigation would take should be highlighted by the framework and methodology used to conduct digital forensics. This study provides a system for conducting digital forensic investigations with an emphasis on the forensic aspects of those probes, the tools and procedures employed by examiners, and the significance of hashing in preventing the manipulation of evidence. Digital forensics, as a whole, is still a field that is widely growing along with the continually advancing world of technology. This form of forensics is one that is also growing in importance and necessity due to crimes stemming from digital devices becoming increasingly popular as well. These steady numbers are what have and will continue to drive the field of digital forensics into meeting its full potential on a consistent basis, in both a preventative and recovering manner.

The accessibility of cloud storage over the internet as a result of cloud computing technology provides the opportunity to store, share and upload data online with the use of digital devices which can be accessed anytime and anywhere. These benefits can also be exploited by the cybercriminals to perform various criminal activities including storing and exchanging of illegal materials on cloud storage platforms. The logs of malicious usages can be obtained from the cloud service providers for forensic investigations but the privacy issue among other factors make it difficult for such logs to be shared. Therefore, there is a need to perform client-side forensics to be able to carry out forensic investigation on digital devices as related to the activities on cloud storage. This study identifies relevant artifacts that can be forensically extracted from the registry of a window 10 device that accessed iDrive cloud storage. The study explores different experimental setups for the forensic analysis and adopted an integrated conceptual digital forensic framework in the investigation process to detect relevant forensic artifacts from the registry of a windows 10 device. This study increases the knowledge of cloud storage forensics and the significance of registry analysis during digital investigations.

The article gives a more precise definition to the term “criminalistic computer modeling” and the strategy of automized crime investigation, reviews the existing programmed hardware-software complexes and forensic equipment, which use criminalistic computer modeling. Moreover, it outlines the possibility of using certain AI elements for building automized strategies to investigate particular types of crimes. Nowadays, forensics as a science needs to develop new tactics, methods and recommendations, as well as forensic equipment and software, based on modern computer technologies and the method of forensic computer modeling, including the use of AI elements, to make crime investigation more effective. This becomes particularly important during the pre-trial investigation stage, closely connected to the development of new forensic equipment and methods. In this regard, the issues of using criminalistic computer modeling in crime investigation demand special attention. The results of this research lead the authors to believe that the possibility of applying criminalistic computer modeling opens new prospects for using it in forensics, including the criminalistic methodology, which will increase the effectiveness of crime investigation and optimize the work of the investigator.

Handling digital forensic cases plays a critical role in maintaining public interest and trust. However, the lack of an ethical code in digital forensics work processes can compromise the integrity and reliability of inspection results. This study aims to address this issue by conducting a systematic literature review (SLR) to explore existing standards for digital forensic frameworks. This study uses SLR techniques to identify and map various digital forensic investigation processes described in the literature. While there are some topics that address digital forensic frameworks in this review, we find it to be overwhelmingly focused on testing or evaluating digital forensic investigations. Unfortunately, the reviewed frameworks often neglected the code of ethics validation process, leaving the potential for ethical violations in the field of digital forensics. Integrating ethical considerations into existing frameworks is essential to ensure the credibility and reliability of digital forensic investigations. This study highlights the need to establish comprehensive policies and standards that include not only technical aspects but also ethical practices. In this way, digital forensics professionals can effectively maintain professional ethics, mitigate ethical violations, and restore public confidence in their findings. Future research should focus on the development and implementation of robust ethical frameworks in the field of digital forensics.

The Internet of Things (IoT), a rapidly evolving network of connected devices, is expected to grow to an astounding 41.6 billion units by 2025. This exponential growth, while beneficial in terms of data collection and exchange, has also increased the vulnerability of these devices to sophisticated cyberattacks, notably the Mirai botnet malware. This paper centers on the distinctive challenges posed in the field of IoT forensics. These challenges are primarily due to the intricate and diverse nature of IoT devices and ecosystems, which complicate the application of standard forensic tools and methodologies. One of the most significant hurdles in IoT forensics is data acquisition, considering the vast diversity of devices and the lack of specialized forensic tools tailored to these unique environments. The paper conducts a thorough literature review to explore these challenges in depth, aiming to not only provide a comprehensive understanding of the current state of IoT forensics but also to identify potential avenues for future research and development. It also highlights key strategies and solutions to enhance the security of IoT devices and to support forensic investigators in navigating the complexities of IoT ecosystems. Through this exploration, the paper contributes valuable insights and guidelines, poised to shape the advancement of IoT device security and forensic investigation techniques.

Full textAbstract:
The Database Forensics Investigation (DBFI) field is focused on capturing and investigating database incidents. DBFI is a subdomain of the digital forensics domain, which deals with database files and dictionaries to identify, acquire, preserve, examine, analyze, reconstruct, present, and document database incidents. Several frameworks and models have been offered for the DBFI field in the literature. However, these specific models and frameworks have redundant investigation processes and activities. Therefore, this study has two aims: (i) conducting a compressive survey to discover the challenges and issues of the DBFI field and (ii) developing a Unified forensic model for the database forensics field. To this end, the design science research (DSR) method was used in this study. The results showed that the DBFI field suffers from many issues such as the lack of standardization, multidimensional nature, heterogeneity, and ambiguity, making it complex for those working in this domain. In addition, a model was proposed in this paper, called the Unified Forensic Model (UFM), which consists of five main stages: initialization stage, acquiring stage, investigation stage, restoring and recovering stage, and evaluation stage. Each stage has several processes and activities. The applicability of UFM was evaluated from two perspectives: completeness and implementation perspectives. UFM is a novel model covering all existing DBFI models and comprises two new stages: the recovering and restoring stage and the evaluation stage. The proposed UFM is so flexible that any forensic investigator could employ it easily when investigating database incidents.

Abstract: To identify whether the victim has committed a crime, both criminal and forensic investigators need the help of digital forensics. As a result, an investigator must use an adequate, accurate, affordable, and trustworthy cyber forensic tool for forensics investigations related to crimes. Digital forensics, also known as computer forensic analysis, computer analysis, and computer inspection, is the practise of painstakingly evaluating computer media (hard discs, diskettes, cassettes, and so on) for evidence. A comprehensive inspection by a qualified examiner may result in the reorganisation of a computer's operations. It's a step-by-step technique for investigating crimes utilising digital evidence employing scientific methodologies and processes. While many amazing solutions have been developed to protect our information communication networks, these devices require much more frequent updating. Individuals with both research abilities and a professional grasp of how the internet works, as well as those who know how to examine PC network security problems, are in great demand. This gives an attack-resistant investigative framework, as well as understanding of how the internet operates and the skills to assess cybercrime apparatus to discover who, what, when, why, and how. The study's findings led to the development of Digital Forensic tool solutions for investigators looking to expand their capabilities in using these tools.

STorage as a <span>service (STaaS) allows its subscribers the ability to access their stored data with the use of internet enabled digital devices at anywhere, anyplace and anytime. The easy accessibility of cloud storage with digital devices is one of the major benefits of cloud computing but this benefit can also be exploited by cybercriminals to perform various forms of malicious usages. During forensic investigation, forensic examiners are expected to provided evidence in relation to the malicious usages but the physical inaccessibility to the digital artifacts on the cloud servers, the difficulty in retrieving evidential artifacts from various cloud storage services and the difficulty in obtaining forensic logs from the concerned cloud service providers among other factors make it difficult to perform forensic investigations. This paper provided step by step experimental guidelines to extract digital artifacts from Google Chrome and Internet Explorer from Windows 10 personal computer using iDrive cloud storage as a case study. The study used Nirsoft forensic tool to locate the relevant forensic artifacts and an integrated conceptual digital forensic framework was adopted to carry out the investigation. This study increases the knowledge of client forensics using web browser analysis during cloud storage forensic investigation.</span>

The late 20th century saw the development of a new special framework for the conservation of large mammals – both tigers and their prey, mostly ungulates, – along with their habitats in the Far East of Russia. Tightening controls on poaching, illicit trafficking and trade in wild animals and their parts, as well as enforcement of adequate penalties for these crimes rely on effective crime detection procedures and quality forensic investigation, which provides important grounds for prosecution. There are currently only four organizations conducting such forensic investigations within the geographic range of the Amur tiger.Efforts to facilitate forensic assistance have included production of the monograph “The Basics of Wildlife Forensics”, establishment of a veterinary treatment and diagnostic center for post-mortem examinations and a carcass storage facility for preservation of forensic evidence, and ongoing work to create biorepositories.However, there is still no streamlined system for state-supported forensic investigation of crimes against wildlife and forensic examinations of wild animals, their parts and derivatives.Such examinations should be conducted by specialized centers under designated conservation authorities of the constituent subjects of the Russian Federation, similar to the forensic bureaus of the Ministry of the Interior.

Background: Microbial forensics is a multidisciplinary area, which has been recently considered an effective tool in forensic investigations. This growing field of forensics covers a wide spectrum of different branches of science, including biology, chemistry, physics, geology, mathematics, and computer sciences, leading to a practical approach that can be applied in several areas such as bioterrorist actions, environmental issues, emerging and reemerging diseases, as well as reliable trace evidence at a crime scene. Methods: The information has been gathered via Google Scholar using several keywords, including forensic microbiology, bioterrorism, forensic investigation, and trace evidence. The data were from reliable articles and books published over 50 years. This paper is a short review of forensic microbiology with a bioinformatics perspective to use in different fields such as the court. Results: It is known that using either microorganisms or their toxins is a low-cost potential tool with serious morbidity and mortality rates that can spread all around the world by food or water supplies or even through the air, making them a perfect candidate bioweapon with minimum traceability. Studies have indicated that environmental conditions plus biological and abiotic factors would affect the following analysis and the final validation, which is an essential step in the forensic investigation due to its highly effective role in the court vote. To face different challenges, law enforcement has the infrastructure for attribution and deterrence (e.g., following the exact microbial forensics program) so that it can be used in court. Developing more reproducible, sensitive, and accurate methods, preparing a wide reliable database, and devoting the right amount of budget will help improve the whole forensic procedure in the legal system. Conclusions: The current paper is a short review of how forensic scientists can use microbial features on a crime scene to clarify and enhance the procedure to solve different criminal cases.

The increasing utilization of IoT technology in various fields creates opportunities and risks for investigating all cybercrimes. At the same time, many research studies have concentrated on security and forensic investigations to collect digital evidence on IoT devices. However, until now, the IoT platform has not fully evolved to adjust the tools, methods, and procedures of IoT forensic investigations. The main reasons for investigators are the characteristics and infrastructure of IoT devices. For example, device number variations, heterogeneity, distribution of protocols used, data duplication, complexity, limited memory, etc. As a result, resulting is a tough challenge to identify, collect, examine, analyze, and present potential IoT digital evidence for forensic investigative processes effectively and efficiently. Indeed, there is not fully used and adapted international standard for the perfect IoT forensic investigation framework. In the research method, a literature review has been carried out by producing previous research studies that have contributed to further facing challenges. To keep the quality of the literature review, research questions (RQ) were conducted for all studies related to the IoT forensic investigation framework between 2015-2022. This research results highlight and provides a comprehensive overview of the twenty current IoT forensic investigation framework that has been proposed. Then, a summary or contribution is presented focusing on the latest research, grouping the forensic phases, and evaluating essential frameworks in the IoT forensic investigation process to obtain digital evidence.

DNA Profiling is a revolutionary method for individual and relationship analysis, crime investigation, hereditary disorders, etc. It is a universal method used to establish accurate results during the process of forensic investigation. DNA profiling techniques, which are based on repetitive sequences within DNA, have proven to be of paramount importance, albeit the complete utilization of knowledge still remaining unexplored. Even a hair strand, blood drop or even skin flakes can be used to identify DNA sequences. It has a wide range of applications both in forensics and law. Because of the advancement in the field of forensics in the past four decades, DNA evidence now stands as one of the most reliable forms of proof in a court of law. In the following article, the authors explore the main concepts of DNA Profiling, and the techniques which are widely used in forensic laboratories such as RFLP, VNTR, STR, AFLP, mtDNA analysis, Y-chromosome analysis and gender typing.

From 1990s, a rising number of international and hybrid criminal tribunals and since 2002, the International Criminal Court have conducted various investigations on international crimes including crime against humanity, genocide and war crimes in various countries worldwide. These judicial organs have repeatedly relied upon witness’s testimonies, information and assistance from a wide variety of sources including governments, journalists, peacekeepers, human rights researchers and intelligence specialists and few forensic scientists, wherein some of these information and reports were driven by politics. Even though such information were very benefitting “there have also been many mishaps, misunderstandings in terms of differentiating information and evidence and missed opportunities in view of finding out the truth in way that information that could potentially have been of great use to criminal cases was lost or was collected or preserved in a manner that made it unusable at trial.” In today’s era, where there is a remarkable technological development in forensic science, it is time to use forensic methods in investigation of international crimes since a number of scientific and technological advances have improved the ability to document large-scale crimes with efficiency and precision. Yet, only in recent years have international criminal courts and other fact-finding institutions begun to embrace these innovations. There is a need of forensic science in investigating and prosecuting offenders of atrocities than traditional use of testimonies which are not easy to be relied on but still some legal and administrative issues still hinder the successful use of forensic evidences in investigating and prosecuting in international criminal proceedings. The present research focused on the practical use of forensic evidences like; pathology and DNA in exhumation of mass grave for determination of cause, manner and mechanism of death but to locate, excavate and exhume mass graves to produce forensic evidences of atrocities and to returning victims to loved ones and also discussed as tools for justice, humanitarian and documentation.The research also revealed the problems which are not only limited to the legal challenges of insufficiency of forensic evidence admissibility regulations and their maintenance of chain of custody, but also there are administrative issues like, lack of fund to be used during forensic investigation activities including, crime scene examination, collection of evidence and laboratory International Journal of Forensic Sciences 2 Thierry MB and Fred K.

Computer and Internet-based crimes are widespread problems that affect a vast number of individuals. Combating such criminals has become a difficult task for competent authorities, as it has enabled a new wave of criminal activity. This phenomenon has drew the attention of security and justice systems all over the world, and these institutions must now deal with the task of reforming and redefining the laws and methodologies used to investigate computer-related criminal activity (Garfinkel, 2010). On the other hand cybercriminals are also making use of existing technologies or systems and new means or techniques to make cybercrime detection, investigation and prevention very difficult. The paper will look at anti-forensics strategies such as data concealment, artefact erasure, trail obfuscation, and attacks on the forensic instruments themselves. Investigators must deal with anti-forensics approaches on a regular basis as digital forensics becomes more significant in current investigations.

Cloud computing has become increasingly popular in recent years, evolving into a computing paradigm that is both cost-effective and efficient. It has the potential to be one of the technologies that has had the most significant impact on computing throughout its history. Regrettably, cloud service providers and their customers have not yet developed major forensic tools that can assist with the investigation of criminal conduct that occurs in the cloud. Because it is difficult to prevent cloud vulnerabilities and criminal targeting, it is necessary to be aware of how digital forensic investigations of the cloud may be carried out. This is because cloud vulnerabilities and criminal targeting are difficult to avoid. In this context, the current study examines current and future trends in cloud forensics, methodology for cloud forensics, and cloud forensic tools. In addition, the study also looks at cloud forensic approaches.

Full textAbstract:
The article is devoted to modern trends in the forensic methods of investigating crimes against the sexual inviolability of minors. Statistics show that most of these crimes are committed at home and by people from close associates. The author identifies the reasons for the complexity of the investigation of crimes against the sexual inviolability of minors. In connection with the “natural aging” of forensic methods of investigating crimes, the formation and development of new modern directions is required, taking into account the specifics of crimes against the sexual inviolability of minors. In particular, the necessity of developing a unified methodology for the investigation of such crimes is substantiated. The achievements of forensic science, which are a reflection of the dynamics of criminal law and criminal procedural relations, can serve as a basis. The analysis made it possible to conclude that the modern forensic methodology for investigating crimes against the sexual inviolability of minors has not yet been fully formed. The digital age is changing the behavior of children and possibly increasing their vulnerability. The emergence of new forms of violence necessitates further detailing of the private methodology for investigating crimes against the sexual inviolability of minors. In particular, cases of committing crimes of this category using the Internet have become more frequent (Articles 121, 124 of the Criminal Code of the Republic of Kazakhstan). And here international cooperation is required to develop a common for all appropriate terminology and description of the constituent elements of various forms of these acts, as well as their legal status. At the national level, the development of a national computer investigation strategy is required. The conclusion is made about the need for further development and detailing of modern directions of forensic methods of investigation of the considered group of crimes, in particular, digital forensics.

With emerging technology and the connection of electronic devices to the internet, Internet of Things (IoT) has become part of human life. From the development of smartphones to smartwatches and smart-homes, electronic devices now have the capability of performing human activities or aiding humans in performing activities such as turning hall lights on or off with their voice. Although a large number of people use these devices for the greater good, a few individuals or group of people hide behind these devices to perform malicious activities. In order to apprehend and prosecute perpetuators who hide behind smart devices for evil gains, forensic examinations or investigations must be conducted. This review aims to identify digital forensic challenges in IoT. The inclusion criteria for this paper were international journals, articles, conference papers and case studies published from 2019 to 2022. Thematic analysis was used to analyze and synthesis the literature. Three themes emerged from the analysis; automated compromised smart-home tracer; data volatility and reconstruction; IoT forensic investigation framework. This integrative review combines evidence of digital forensic challenges in diverse IoT devices. Keyword IoT forensics, IoT challenges, Digital forensics, Smart-home forensics.

Unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) have gained increased popularity as their innovative uses continue to expand across various fields. Despite their numerous beneficial uses, drones have unfortunately been misused, through many reported cases, to launch illegal and sometimes criminal activities that pose direct threats to individuals, organizations, public safety and national security. These threats have recently led law enforcement agencies and digital forensic investigators to pay special attention to the forensic aspects of drones. This important research topic, however, remains underexplored. This study aims to further explore drone forensics in terms of challenges, forensic investigation procedures and experimental results through a forensic investigation study performed on a Parrot AR drone 2.0. In this study, the authors present new insights on drone forensics in terms of forensic approaches, access to drone's digital containers and the retrieval of key information that can assist digital forensic investigators establish ownership, recuperate flight data and gain access to media files.

Full textAbstract:
The article addresses the issues of the particular terminology for fire forensic investigations. Definitions for the basic parameters of a fire hazardous area, determining its susceptibility to ignition, and their relationship to the impulses initiating such areas’ combustion are analyzed.Two main tasks of forensic fire examinations are reviewed: establishing the technical cause of a fire, its organizational cause, and consequences. The author gives definitions for these tasks and the term “ignition source”.The paper’s relevance stems from the need to prevent mistakes in terminology when conducting a forensic fire investigation. The article may be of use for practicing experts and specialists in fire forensics’ theory and practice.

Full textAbstract:
An explosion is defined as a violent, shattering action caused by a bomb. The main chemical ingredient of a bomb is the explosive – an endothermic substance which serves as a storehouse of energy. When this energy is suddenly released, in the confined space of the bomb, it causes a devastating effect, resulting in loss of lives and property. As compared to conventional crime scenes, explosion sites are more difficult to process. In many cases a building may have collapsed and the crime scene evidence may have become buried beneath the debris. A vital aspect of forensic investigation of bomb blasts is to establish the explosion seat. Equally important is to identify the type of chemical explosives used to commit the crime. This communication highlights the complications encountered in the management of explosion sites and the difficulties experienced in processing the evidence collected there from. The types of injuries which the victims of explosion suffer are also briefly described.

Full textAbstract:
The Internet of Things (IoT) Investigation of Forensics (IoTFI) is one of the subdomains of Digital Forensics that aims to record and evaluate incidents involving the Internet of Things (IoT). Because of the many different standards, operating systems, and infrastructure-based aspects that make up the Internet of Things industry, this sector is extremely varied, ambiguate, and complicated. Many distinct IoTFI models and frameworks were developed, each one based on a unique set of investigation procedures and activities tailored to a particular IoT scenario. Because of these models, the domain becomes increasingly complicated and disorganized among those who perform domain forensics. As a result, the IoTFI domain does not have a general model for managing, sharing, and reusing the processes and activities that it offers. With the use of the metamodeling development process, this work aims to create an Internet of Things Forensic Investigation Metamodel (IoTFIM) for the IoTFI domain. Utilizing the metamodeling development process allows for the construction and validation of a metamodel and the verification that the metamodel is both comprehensive and consistent. The IoTFIM is divided into two phases: the first phase identifies the problem, and the second phase develops the IoTFIM. It is utilized to structure and organize IoTFI domain knowledge, which makes it easier for domain forensic practitioners to manage, organize, share, and reuse IoTFI domain knowledge. The purpose of this is to detect, recognize, extract, and match various IoTFI processes, concepts, activities, and tasks from various IoTFI models in an IoTFIM that was established, facilitating the process of deriving and instantiating solution models for domain practitioners. Utilizing several metamodeling methodologies, we were able to validate the generated IoTFMI’s consistency as well as its applicability (comparison against other models, frequency-based selection). Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the built IoTFIM is consistent and coherent. This makes it possible for domain forensic practitioners to simply instantiate new solution models by picking and combining concept elements (attribute and operations) based on the requirements of their models.
