...Computer Intrusion Forensics Research Paper Nathan Balon Ronald Stovall Thomas Scaria CIS 544 Abstract The need for computer intrusion forensics arises from the alarming increase in the number of computer crimes that are committed annually. After a computer system has been breached and an intrusion has been detected, there is a need for a computer forensics investigation to follow. Computer forensics is used to bring to justice, those responsible for conducting attacks on computer systems throughout the world. Because of this the law must be follow precisely when conducting a forensics investigation. It is not enough to simple know an attacker is responsible for the crime, the forensics investigation must be carried out in a precise manner that will produce evidence that is amicable in a court room. For computer intrusion forensics many methodologies have been designed to be used when conducting an investigation. A computer forensics investigator also needs certain skills to conduct the investigation. Along with this, the computer forensics investigator must be equipped with an array of software tools. With the birth of the Internet and networks, the computer intrusion has never been as significant as it is now. There are different preventive measures available, such as access control and authentication, to attempt to prevent intruders. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are developed to detect an intrusion as it occurs, and to execute countermeasures when detected...

...this research paper was to analyze three anti-forensic techniques for potential methods of mitigating their impact on a forensic investigation. Existing research in digital forensics and anti-forensics was used to determine how altered metadata, encryption, and deletion impact the three most prominent operating systems. The common file systems for these operating systems were analyzed to determine if file system analysis could be used to mitigate the impact of the associated anti-forensic technique. The countermeasures identified in this research can be used by investigators to reduce the impact of anti-forensic techniques on an investigation. Also, the results could be used as a basis for additional research. File system analysis can be used to detect and mitigate the impact of the three methods of anti-forensics researched under the right circumstances. Some areas of anti-forensics and file systems have been relatively well-researched. However continued research is necessary to keep pace with changes in file systems as well as anti-forensic techniques. Keywords: Cybersecurity, Albert Orbinati, Windows, Linux, Macintosh, file table.

...difference, and that's what I would like to spend the rest of my life doing. The field of psychology is divided into subfields each of which deal with a different area, and since working with and helping people is a good feeling for me, community and social services is an excellent job group. When going into the field of psychology, one is able to explore many different careers. I’m also interested in forensics. The field of forensic psychology has grown in the 21st century because courtrooms recognize the value of psychologist’s testimonies to help juries reach a clearer verdict. Like all fields in psychology, forensics has many perspectives, they can focus on law enforcement psychology, the psychology of litigation, correctional psychology, and forensic psychology (Nietzel, Bernstein, & Milich, 1998). The field of psychology is becoming more scientific, advances are being made to increase reliability. Just the thought of having a career in psychology is fascinating to me, I know sooner or later I am going to have to make the decision on which way Im going to go about it. Forensic psychologists handle legal matters, including mental state examinations of criminal defendants and...

...Unit-4 (ICS -305) Information security Information security (ISec) describes activities that relate to the protection of information and information infrastructure assets against the risks of loss, misuse, disclosure or damage. Standards that are available to assist organizations implement the appropriate programs and controls to mitigate these risks are for example BS7799/ISO 17799, Information Technology Infrastructure Library and COBIT. Information security management (ISM) describes controls that an organization needs to implement to ensure that it is sensibly managing these risks. Security Challenges The risks to these assets can be calculated by analysis of the following issues: Threats to your assets. These are unwanted events that could cause the intentional or accidental loss, damage or misuse of the assets Vulnerabilities. How vulnerable (prone or weak) your assets are to attack Impact. The magnitude of the potential loss or the seriousness of the event.

...Project 1 Case Analysis CCJS321 The two cases I have chosen to analyze for Project One is the Max Ray Butler aka “Iceman” cybercrime case and the Albert Gonzalez cybercrime case. I have chosen these two cases because they both had significant impact on the computer forensics field. Both of these cybercrimes are similar in nature because both deal in credit card and identity theft on the grandest scale. Max Ray Butler and Albert Gonzalez were brought to justice after many years of a cyber-forensic investigation that went through a network of multiple U.S. agencies; including the FBI, US Secret Service and US-CERT (United States Computer Emergency Readiness Team) a Department of Homeland Security who were all networked together at the National Computer Forensic Training Academy in Pittsburg, Pennsylvania. Both of these men were given the longest prison sentences ever handed out by a judge for computer crimes of their notoriety and magnitude. Finally, they both set a blue print for digital forensic investigators of the proper procedures to follow in order to capture future want-to-be crime lords. Max Butler aka “Iceman” was a white-hat hacker that went rogue. His story is that, “he was a good hacker hired by the government to test the security of one of their websites, while doing that job he installed a backdoor to their system that would allow him to come in later so he could make some fixes to the system on his own time. Well of course this second part of the...

...Name: Nupur Vijay Gholap Weekly Solutions Template Hands on project 4-4: Answer: Case Project 4-5 Answer: To acquire the data from the source file following methods can be used: 1. Disk-to-Image files: FKT Imager can be used to disk-to-image files from other proprietary formats. We need not segment the data as entire 2 GB can be stored directly. FKT runs on the windows and needs write blocking device. FKT can read AccessData, Expert Witness, SafeBack, SMART and raw format files, CD and DVD files. Proprietary format tools run an option to compress or not compress image files of a source drive, to save space on the target drive. Hashing helps check the integrity of the data. Various tools can integrate metadata into the image file But there exits an inability to share an image between different vendors’ computer forensics analysis tools. Like ILook imaging tool IXimager produces IDIF, IRBF, and IEIF but can be read only by ILook. Proprietary format tools produce a segmented file of 650 MB. Maximum file size per segment can be 2 GB. 2. Disk-to-disk copy: UNIX/Linux dd command does disk-to-disk copy. dd command is very easy and effective in a Linux machine. But for that we need equal or larger space in the target disk to copy full image from the source disk. Raw formatting is a technique in which we use dd command to generate image files which are split into smaller segments and are exact bit-by-bit replica of the original disk. These are sequential flat...

...Abstract: Advanced cyberattacks on the public and private sectors at the local, national, and international level have prompted an increase in funding and support for the study of emerging cybersecurity technologies. The considerations for this paper are to discuss the emerging technologies and strategies that can be integrated across the public and private sector to improve cybersecurity on a local, national, and international level. New technologies need to dynamically assess networks real-time such as with the use of Remote Agents and Real-time forensic analysis. These technologies also need to make the attack space less predictable and constantly evolving such as through the use of moving target defense. Emerging Cybersecurity Technologies The E-government Act of 2000 was signed by President Bush to move toward a more 24-7 government. The dream was to eliminate the need to have to stand in line at the DMV for half a day just to pay annual vehicle registration fees (Barker, 2011). Security was certainly a concern, but it was not at the forefront of the move as government agencies would go through massive changes in equipment, manning, and practices in order to move information and programs online. Now, over a decade later we still see moves and changes taking place, such as the department of Veterans Affairs recently moving all of their applications, forms and records online. The expensive cost of getting the government caught up was expected with such an overhaul...
