The Internet of Things (loT) can be viewed as an emerging concept and technology in the modern world. Specifically, it comprises of a network of interrelated dig2tal and mechanical machines and computing devices among others. Evidently, loT has a significant potential of impacting the way people live and work, and this is the reason why it should be comprehended. August wan lock is an example of loT technology (Albright, 2017). Notably, this application is capable of unlocking and locking doors automatically by using a smartphone, it comprises of an optional keypad where the users can act an opening code in case their phones are off or they do not have them (Albright. 2017). Moreover, guest codes can be granted to friends, and they can be expired if their usefulness ceases. Some of the challenges associated with August small lock entail the actuality that it is susceptible to hacking and wireless jamming and this compromises the user's household security (WOLLERTON. 2016).
loT devices can present different problems for forensic investigations, and this is founded on different attributes. For example, the quantity of these appliances has expended gradually, and this has triggered a challenging mission of the development of an accessible and strong security scheme (Zulkipli. Alenezi & Wills, 2017). Moreover loT devices are prone to security threats and attacks, and this is the reason why forensic investigations may be compromised. For example, node tampering can be utilized in the modification of the device whereby a hacker is allowed into the system. The loT device is, therefore, not able to function properly and the primary intention is stealing information and misusing the hardware and software (Zulkipli, Alenezi & Wills, 2017). Moreover, Denial of Service (DoS) may occur, and its intention may entail disrupting the appliance's communication channel.
