Abstract:

In the research paper, primarily there will be description about cyber forensics tools for SaaS application for eucalyptus continued with implementation and finally the evaluation. FORE endow us to dedicated capabilities of forensics for Eucalyptus cloud platform. Eucalyptus is open source software which is providing us with various cloud deployment model. FORE implementation supports for SaaS application. FORE cyber investigation related to the SaaS application which is hosted on virtual machine and virtual operating system using SaaS application logs, virtual volume logs and user activity logs. [2][8] In simple web application we easily perform forensics activity, but in cloud platform it is very difficult to perform forensics activity because all servers operated virtually. This type of forensics investigate on a web based approach may required for log investigation. In virtual environment user also responsible for their data security, so user need to self audit of account activity. In this paper, we explore the basic requirement for a cloud forensics and develop forensic tool for auditing and investigation for SaaS model.
