The Internet of Things has made it all possible to connect appliances with the internet. The built-in sensors get connected to the internet and transfer all the integrated data to the application. This transferred data helps in the management of the smart devices and controls the particular functions that need to be performed. Forensic science deals with the applications and techniques for the analysis of evidence obtained from the scene of crime, for the purpose of law. Whereas, mobility forensics deals with the software, tools, and techniques for the analysis of mobile phones and smart devices for the purpose of law. In the last few years, the easy approach to smart devices has resulted in the exponential growth of cybercrime. Here, it becomes important for the forensic examiner to perform analysis by maintaining the protocol. Forensic analysis requires highly sensitive and rational techniques so that the data is not at all manipulated due to any error. The IoT devices have the most special feature of transferring all their data to one source. This could help the forensic examiner to extract the data from a single source that will result in rapid examination. The usage of IoT-based data would help the investigation team in most ways. As the amount, nature, and sensitivity of data are large, it provides a wide range of possibilities in the investigation. It requires focusing on the techniques used for the analysis of IoT data.
