Abstract

This study explores the practical difficulties forensic investigators encounter when trying to retrieve and analyze data from cloud environments. We examine issues such as encryption hurdles, the sheer volume of data, the intricacies of cloud systems, and the resource limitations many investigators face. We also look at the ethical and legal considerations of using advanced tools, including AI, in forensic work. By understanding these challenges and considering practical solutions, we aim to help forensic investigators better navigate the complicated world of cloud-based digital forensics.
