Abstract

As Android Operating System (OS) for smart phones become pervasive, more and more end users are taking advantage of the contemporary Instant Messaging (IM) tools with high availability and agile mobility. Unfortunately, the cyber criminals or hacktivists are abusing this state-of-the-art mobile communication gadget to fulfill illegal conspiracies. The content with regard to the IM is a critical success factor in cracking some complicated cyber crime cases in a timely manner. The paper significantly contributes to the research arena of Digital Forensics (DF) practitioners and researchers respecting partial digital evidence disclosure in a generic Viber session in Android mobile OS due to the commonness of IM under contemporary ubiquitous on-demand computing infrastructures. Being accumulated with sophisticated researches both in Android smart phones and the Viber Application Program (AP), this paper is capable of utilizing some specific search string in regard to the image of the Random Access Memory (RAM) in order to disclose the digital breadcrumb in terms of the received IM and the cellular phone number in previous Viber sessions as probative evidenced in a court of law.
