DRONE FORENSICS

There is a good article about Drone Forensics in eForensics Magazine. The synopsis for the article states:
"The project begins to look into the broad range of UAVs that are likely to be encountered by police forces in the UK, specifically targeting the more budget end of the spectrum whilst still having all the functionality required to commit a range of crimes. The project focuses on post criminal activity analysis of the UAV and controller and while there is some discussion of commercial counter UAV tools it is not the focus of this project. One example of this analysis comes from media files stored on the drone and the kind of information that can be gathered from them through metadata. Using a purely practical, experimentation and analysis based approach, a thorough examination was made of both the UAV and its controlling Android and iOS devices. The project concludes that metadata is the best way to obtain information regarding flights, particularly where the Bebop’s “Drone Academy” feature is disabled as it specifically states that this will track your drone’s flights, though there is an analysis of the files created by the “Drone Academy” feature."

However, there a huge range of technology to consider with evidential value and later on I will present additional supporting info to the community. In the meantime here is a great Infographics by (c) Jethro Hazelhurst of the Pixhawk PX4 autopilot.
