Forensic Analysis of Unamanned Aerial Vehicle System

Ekspanzijom korištenja bespilotnih zrakoplova te njihovom rastućom primjenom u raznolikim industrijama, s obzirom na njihove karakteristike isti postaju interesantni u području digitalne forenzike zbog mogućnosti zlouporabe. Kako je za upravljanje i korištenje značajki bespilotnih zrakoplova često potrebna letačka aplikacija na mobilnom uređaju, u forenzičkom smislu mobilna forenzika postaje vrlo slična forenzici bespilotnih zrakoplova. Tim dvjema granama digitalne forenzike u jednom istraživačkom postupku, odabirom valjanih metoda i alata može se prikupiti značajan skup podataka. Najveće izazove predstavljaju nedovoljno standardizirane metodologije i postupci u izvođenju ekstrakcije, nedorečenost zakonskih akata, regulative te sofisticirane protumjere letačkim aktivnostima. Radom je dan pregled pristupu forenzičkoj istrazi komercijalnog bespilotnog zrakoplova unutar scenarija nezakonitih aktivnosti korištenja bespilotnog zrakoplova. Također, na složenost istrage utječu faktori poput odabranih alata, metoda te korištenih mobilnih uređaja kojih je za veću uspješnost ekstrakcije i analize potrebno imati u što većem opsegu. Trenutno ne postoji standardiziran smjer pristupu digitalnoj forenzici bespilotnih zrakoplova te kombinacija različitih alata daje najbolje rezultate što se često očituje kroz dugotrajni sudski postupak.With the expansion of the use of unmanned aerial vehicles and their growing application in various industries, given their characteristics, they are becoming interesting in the field of digital forensics due to the possibility of its criminal abuse. As the flight application on a mobile device is often required to manage and use the drones and its features, in forensic terms mobile forensics is becoming very similar to the forensics of drones. With these two digital forensics branches, a significant set of data can be collected by validly selected methods and tools. The biggest challenges are insufficiently standardized methodologies and procedures in performing extraction, vagueness of legal acts, regulations and sophisticated countermeasures to flying activities. The paper provides an overview of the approach to forensic investigation of a commercial unmanned aircraft within the scenario of illegal activities of its use. Also, complexity of the investigation is influenced by factors such as selected tools, methods and used mobile devices, which for greater extraction and analysis success it is recommended to have as much as possible. Currently, there is no standardized approach to digital drones forensic for drones. Combination of different forensic tools gives the best results, which is unfortunately reflected in the lengthy court proceedings
