  • Abstract
    The cloud is radically changing the face of information technology. Traditional digital forensic procedures, software, and hardware are incapable of scaling to the cloud. This paper introduces a new system, leveraging cloud management SDK´s to enable highly scalable Virtual Machine (VM) acquisition from cloud infrastructures.
