Abstract

The development of instant messenger, especially Skype applications is growing rapidly. Skype users are usually used as tools to share information using an Android smartphone. The large number of Skype users can be misused for carrying out criminal activities such as illegal goods transactions in the form of vape drugs among Skype users. This case can be resolved by getting digital evidence from the Skype application left on an Android smartphone using the Forensic Digial method. The forensic method used in this study is the National Institute of Justice (NIJ) with several stages, namely identification, collection, examination, analysis, and reporting while the Oxygen Forensic Suite software is used for data acquisition. The results obtained successfully obtained all the desired evidence from the two smartphones that installed Skype, namely EVERCROSS and SAMSUNG J2 in the form of a profile account, contact person, conversation text and image file with the percentage of Skype data acquisition results from the EVERCROSS B75 smartphone succeeding in getting 48% data, and Skype data acquisition results from SAMSUNG J2 managed to get 100% data.
