The DFRWS 2017 challenge is about Internet of Things (IoT), defined generally to include network and Internet connected devices usually for the purpose of monitoring and automation tasks. Consumer-grade “Smart” devices are increasing in popularity and scope. These devices and the data they collect are potentially interesting for digital investigations, but also come with a number of new investigation challenges.
This challenge seeks to advance the state-of-the-art in IoT forensics by focusing the community’s attention on this emerging domain.
This challenge is made possible by a grant from the Korea Institute for Advancement of Technology (KIAT), N0002260.
The background and information about the digital evidence collected can be found in Challenge Details, while a report from the scene including an interview with one of the suspects can be found in IoT Forensic Challenge Case Details
