This handbook provides an overarching view of cyber security and digital forensic challenges
related to big data and IoT environment prior to reviewing existing data mining solutions and
their potential application in big data context and existing authentication and access control
for IoT devices. An IoT access control scheme and an IoT forensic framework is also presented
in this book and it explains how the IoT forensic framework can be used to guide investigation
of a popular cloud storage service. A distributed file system forensic approach is also
presented which is used to guide the investigation of Ceph. Minecraft a Massively Multiplayer
Online Game and the Hadoop distributed file system environment are also forensically studied
and their findings reported in this book. A forensic IoT source camera identification algorithm
is introduced which uses the camera's sensor pattern noise from the captured image. In
addition to the IoT access control and forensic frameworks this handbook covers a cyber
defense triage process for nine advanced persistent threat (APT) groups targeting IoT
infrastructure namely: APT1 Molerats Silent Chollima Shell Crew NetTraveler ProjectSauron
CopyKittens Volatile Cedar and Transparent Tribe. The characteristics of remote-controlled
real-world Trojans using the Cyber Kill Chain are also examined. It introduces a method to
leverage different crashes discovered from two fuzzing approaches which can be used to enhance
the effectiveness of fuzzers. Cloud computing is also often associated with IoT and big data
(e.g. cloud-enabled IoT systems) and hence a survey of the cloud security literature and a
survey of botnet detection approaches are presented in the book. Finally game security
solutions are studied and explained how one may circumvent such solutions. This handbook
targets the security privacy and forensics research community and big data research community
including policy makers and government agencies public and private organizations policy
makers. Undergraduate and postgraduate students enrolled in cyber security and forensic
programs will also find this handbook useful as a reference.
