Currently he is enrolled in PhD program and is in research phase. In Feb 2015 he was promoted as Assistant Professor. He was inducted as Lecturer at Department of Information Security (NUST) in May 2012. He completed his Masters in Information Security from Military College of Signals – NUST in 2012.


He achieved merit based scholarship throughout his bachelor’s degree. He did his bachelor’s degree in Computer Sciences from Department of Computer Science, University of Peshawar in 2008. Mian Muhammad Waseem Iqbal is an academician, researcher, security professional and industry consultant. Finally, a comparative analysis of AndroKit with standard forensic tool-kits such as Oxygen forensics, Andriller, MOBILedit and Belkasoft evidence center has been presented. The paper demonstrates that the AndroKit can successfully acquire and analyze forensic evidence such as Web History, Downloads, Cookies, Bookmarks, Chrome stored user credentials, decode base64 encoded images, Tabs information etc. To strengthen digital investigation, a toolkit named as AndroKit is proposed for Android web browsers forensics. This paper presents how to perform forensics analysis of data structures used by popular web browsers such as Chrome, Opera, Mozilla Firefox, and Dolphin on Android and how a forensic investigator can acquire forensic artifacts from web browsers. However, leveraging and locating this information can be challenging without the needed prerequisite information. The basics of web browser forensics revolve around the artifacts such as web sites visited, malicious URLs, time stamps, counts of access, search histories, cookies, downloaded activities etc. For such devices, web browsers have become a primary means for accessing information provided on Internet as well as file systems and therefore, web browser forensics is an important component of cyber threat intelligence. Pervasive use of smart devices has significantly enlarged the attack surface and resulted in a proportional complication of cyber threat intelligence gathering. Due to the pervasive nature of smart phones and devices, users are becoming more and more dependent on such devices for accessing online information.
