Abstract :
Since its presentation by Apple, both the iPhone and iPad devices have achieved a great success and gained widespread popularity. This fact, added to the given idiosyncracies of these new portable devices and the kind of data they may store open new opportunities in the field of computer forensics. In 2010, version 4 of their operating system (iOS) introduced Air Print, a simple and driverless wireless printing functionality supported by some network printers. This paper presents an analysis of the traces left by Air Print and assesses whether it is feasible to recover them in the context of a forensic investigation.
