Cloud Storage Forensics: BaiduNetDisk, WeiYun, and 115yun on a Wireless Network

Abstract

With the development of cloud computing and wireless networks, cloud storage services are widely used in daily life. People can get access to cloud storage anytime and anywhere. Cloud storage forensics is a computer forensic scenario that currently appears frequently. In this paper, we first briefly introduce the general methods of traditional cloud storage forensics and then introduce forensic investigations that are conducted on three cloud storage services: BaiduNetDisk, 115yun, and WeiYun. The findings of the forensic analysis are presented in detail to help the development of forensics for cloud storage services.
