Ransomware: Analysis and Evaluation of Live Forensic Techniques and the Impact on Linux based IoT Systems

arXiv:2403.17571v1 Announce Type: new
Abstract: Ransomware has been predominantly a threat to Windows systems. But, Linux systems became interesting for cybercriminals and this trend is expected to continue. This endangers IoT ecosystems, whereas many IoT systems are based on Linux (e.g. cloud infrastructure and gateways). This paper researches how currently employed forensic techniques can be applied to Linux ransomware and evaluates the maturity as well as the impact on the system. While Windows-based ransomware predominantly uses RSA and AES for …
