IoT forensic analysis: A family of experiments with Amazon Echo devices

Criminal Investigations involving digital devices often focus on the analysis of mobile phones, tablets, and computers associated with the suspect or the victim. The connection of IoT devices to criminal investigations may not always be considered or understood by professionals handling the crime scene. The language, experience, and understanding needed to articulate the appropriate causes required to include IoT devices in search warrant affidavits are not always known or available to case agents overseeing the evidence-gathering portion of the investigation. For this reason, we introduce a novel methodology that shows how to locate and identify IoT device owner account information, device specifications and configurations, and the location of user activity on the device. We use this methodology to carry out a family of eight experiments on IoT devices that can assist law enforcement professionals in the construction of search warrant affidavits with information that will help satisfy the legal requirement to show evidence of a crime is likely contained on IoT devices. In this paper, we focus on Amazon Echo Show IoT devices and the legal justification for seizing and examining the devices, methods of extraction, and location of user-related artifacts on IoT device hardware. Overall, the implications of our study offer law enforcement professionals specific, practical instructions on how to deal with Amazon IoT devices involved in a crime scene. The analysis of data related to these devices is presented through practical demonstrations of these devices in action

AdS: An adaptive spectrum sensing technique for survivability under jamming attack in Cognitive Radio Networks

IEEE 802.22 Cognitive Radio Network (CRN) allows sharing of geographically unused spectrum allocated tothe television broadcast service, on a non-interfering basis. CRNs make use of Dynamic Spectrum Access (DSA)which is a two-stage mechanism comprisingfast sensing, which is mandatory andfine sensingwhich is optional.However, the two-stage spectrum sensing mechanism suits malicious nodes in the CRN which intend to denythe use of vacant spectrum to the CRN by jamming its communication while at the same time, minimizingthe amount of power expended on jamming. SuchMinimal Denial of Service(MDoS) jamming attack can belaunched by the malicious nodes by transmitting a very short jamming signal during the mandatory fast sensingstage which will in turn force the CRN to carry out the otherwise optional, fine sensing.

MDoS jamming attackresults in wastage of spectrum opportunities for the rest of the CRN to the extent which can jeopardize itssurvivability. In this paper we presentAdS: an IntelligentAdaptive spectrumSensing technique which, not onlyminimizes the effects of MDoS jamming attack but can also reduce the effects of noise during the spectrumsensing stages of DSA. The adaptive nature of AdS improves spectrum utilization by CRNs by up to 90%through adaptive tuning of the fine sensing threshold which is based on an estimate of PU’s activity and theseverity of MDoS jamming attack.

Smarter World, Bigger Threats explains what the Internet of Things
linkedin

The information technology revolution has significantly changed the way in which people interact with the world. Among other things, it has allowed us to access information about almost anything instantaneously and has given us the ability to easily purchase goods without leaving our homes. The Internet of Things is the next step of this revolution and will further transform the world by allowing us to connect our many "things" to the Internet. It will allow our smart cars to drive themselves and our smart refrigerators to automatically order food for us. However, making the world smarter will lead to greater security and privacy challenges.

Smarter World, Bigger Threats explains what the Internet of Things is by providing an overview of its history, development, and technical structure. It is estimated that billions of devices will be connected to the Internet in the coming years. Additionally, these devices will have access to financial or other personal information of its users. This will lead to many technological, security, and privacy challenges. Smarter World, Bigger Threats highlights these challenges and provides possible solutions.
