Abstract

With the increasing prevalence of cloud storage services, the forensic analysis of cloud storage artifacts has become a critical area of research. This study focuses on the analysis of cloud storage forensic artifacts, specifically in the context of pCloud storage. The objective is to investigate the digital footprints left behind by user activities such as file uploads, deletions, and downloads within the pCloud environment. The research methodology involves evidence source identification and preservation, collection, examination and analysis, reporting and analysis of datasets within the pCloud storage platform to simulate user actions. The subsequent analysis aims to uncover and examine the traces and metadata associated with these actions. Various forensic techniques and tools will be employed to extract and interpret relevant information, including timestamps, file metadata, access logs, and user account details. The findings of this research study will contribute to the understanding of forensic artifacts specific to pCloud storage, shedding light on the digital evidence that can be extracted and analyzed. The insights gained will aid digital forensic investigators in identifying and reconstructing user activities within the pCloud environment. Additionally, the study will provide insights into the security and privacy implications associated with cloud storage services and contribute to the development of robust forensic methodologies for cloud storage analysis.
