Abstract
Google Android forensics is a piece of digital forensics that offers many opportunities and challenges. Taking at the volume of newer Android devices and the abuse of these devices by criminals introduced challenges how to adequately extract and examine the information for forensic purposes. An exceptionally itemized comprehension of both the stage and forensic tools is required for procurement and examination of versatile information. There are various instruments on making smartphone crime scene investigation simpler. This research venture assesses the main instruments accessible in the market that back Android gadgets against its capacity to remove and analyze the information on numerous parameters. Acquiring data from a Google Android mobile is presently a critical issue in many criminal investigations. Android mobile can contain a lot of data, which can be useful in an investigation. These include typical Android device information such as SMS, browser history and searches, call log data, and device accounts. This proposed research focuses on the implementation, analysis, and performance of Google Android mobile forensic software and results of the finding. We have presented our research finding after execution of forensic procedures. However, during the proposed study, the artifacts obtained are applicable to use as evidences in the court of law against any criminal incident.
