With vehicle technologies constantly evolving, it is important to understand the threat to the consumer that leaves personal data behind, as well as the benefit to the investigator and how accessible this data can be. Infotainment systems are being rolled out into almost every new vehicle that is manufactured today. The art of mastering the hard drive, as well as a multitude of other components, has already occurred. Now, let's take a look at multiple approaches to forensically acquire data from vehicles. Of all of the subsets of digital forensics, vehicle forensics is beginning to have a much larger presence than before and one that can potentially contain a treasure trove of forensic data. This talk will take an in-depth look at infotainment technologies and how to forensically acquire the data associated with the functionalities that exist across various manufacturers. Furthermore, we will cover the challenges of conducting digital forensics on an actual car, both physically and logistically.
