Abstract
Cloud Computing is the emerging technology in IT which aims more and more
users to be part of it. Cloud computing is a revolution in IT the way resources are utilized
and managed. It is an emerging and prosperous field for both academically and industrially.
With its wide acceptance today security is a vital concern. Technique running at the back of
Cloud computing is virtualization in which virtual machines simultaneously operates and
application that controls and managed them is hypervisor. Many models for security of
virtualization have been proposed for the protection of resources but still virtualization is
being vulnerable to many attacks. Hypervisor forensics is a post approach to investigate and
analyze security threats at hypervisor level. This research field will be beneficial for
reducing crime rate at network level and improve security. This paper aims to understand
some of the proposed model and identify research gap and challenges to provide better
awareness of hypervisor forensics. The benefit of this work is that it depicts the state-of-the
art in hypervisor forensics.
