4.0 First Responder

4.1 Overview

First responder had stand as an important role while performing digital evidence collecting. Actions that been taken to collect from the victim will be easily affecting weather the evidence will be valid or invalid. First responder is in charge of protecting, integrating and preserving all of the evidences that obtain from the victim.

4.2 First Responder Procedures

4.2.1 Securing and evaluating electronic crime scene

According to Susan Rice, the manager of the MATM cooperate had received several complains from the staffs that were working inside the company. There’s happened some small amount of transactions that were added and deducted from their bank account repeatedly. Although the amount were remain the same and there’s no loss, there is still suspicious that someone is misusing the staff bank details to perform some fraud. Mr. James who is the Accounting department manager of the MATM organisation is the suspect criminal for the case. This is because he is once found unauthorised access to the personnel database of the organisation. The database had stored details of all the staffs inside the organisation and also included the bank account number. Besides that, there’s also some staff’s email address being misused to send out unwanted advertising emails to his friends. By analysing and investigating, the investigator believed that the staff might been spoofed.

4.2.1.1 Preparation for authority

After receiving the result of the preliminary interview that were done earlier from the police enforcement, the inspector had come out with some personal background checking towards the suspect, Mr James. Based on the analysis, it is found that he has a wife who is working in the BankWest with the position of manager assistant. Besides that, Mr James is said as a friendly person among the neighbourhood. In addition, they claim that his wife were a very lovely woman and both of the couples seems lovely all the time. This makes the investigator believe that Mr James family were good and friendly enough. After making a research on Mr James, the inspector decided to apply on a normal search and seizure warrant. In this case, the inspector take into concern that during the day time, both of the husband and wife might be working and not available at home, so that the inspector plan to pay a visit during evening. The affidavit letter to apply for search warrant were included inside appendix A.

4.2.2.2 Planning the search and seizure

Once the affidavit letter been approved, there will be planning needed to perform the searching of the evidences. The approval were received back from the high court of Australia on 1st of June 2014. Meanwhile, the inspector had planned to visit Mr James on the next day which is 2nd of June 2014. A day before paying a visit to Mr James, the inspector will well prepared the tools and documents such as evidence bag, chain of custody, first responder toolkits. Once preparation been done, the inspector will depart from the police station together with the colleagues to Unit 2, 27 Morang Rd, Hawthorn, VIC 3122 Melbourne at evening 7pm and with the search warrant that been approved.

4.2.3 Collecting and preserving electronic evidence

After having an overview of the entire house of Mr James, the inspector had search around and find out all the possible evidences and took a photograph before seizing it. After taking a clearer look on the evidence, it will needed to be analyse by the senior analyser to understand the information of the evidence and how does it related with the case that been happened. This stage is very important and needed to be doing it carefully. This is because if there were some mistake happened, it can make the evidence lost and unable to be found back later on. As an example, the moment collecting the external hard drive had fall to the floor and information inside the hard drive are all corrupted. The figure below shows the evidence that been collected from the crime scene.

4.2.4 Packaging electronic evidence As known, once evidence were all being identified, there will be needed to pack all of the evidences into the evidence bag. The evidence were collected by using antistatic bag and not a normal plastic bags. This is because a normal plastic bags will be having chances to produce static electricity that might cause some changes to the evidence gathered. Besides that all the evidences were labelled properly before it been transport back to the labs.
The evidences were categorised into 2 different category such known as digital evidences and non-digital evidences. The digital evidences that found are Mr James laptop, Pen drives, mobile phone device, printer and a desktop computer. For the non-digital evidence that found were a paper found inside the printer.
In this case, there were non-live acquisition been performed. This is because all of the digital evidence were shut off and this shows that there’s no availability of RAM or live memory to do a live data acquisition.
Meanwhile, for all of the digital evidence that gathered, the inspector had created dd images for 3 of the pen drives, SD card of the smart phone and the desktop personal computer. However, while the inspector were attempting to create dd image for the desktop, the action had been failed and the inspector had found old it is an 8 years old desktop computer which might already unable to be open. Even though, the CPU were still be packed up as evidences.
The pen drives and smart phone were all been put into a Stronghold bag and put into the evidence bag properly. At the same moment, the inspector will make sure that the all of the evidences were properly labelled and documented before leaving the house. In addition, there were chain of custody form prepared to ensure there were nothing left out and after that, the evidence bag will be moved into a cardboard box for transferring.
After that, the inspector had greet Mr James and his wife for the cooperation for letting them to perform the search. Before leaving, Mr James had said that he is innocent and does not involved in what is happening towards the company. After his first preliminary interview, he had knew that the company were suspicious on someone in the company might had misused the staff information to commit some crimes. His wife had also claimed that her husband were innocent and impossible involving in stealing company information.

4.2.5 Transporting electronic evidence

Once the evidence were all moved into the transport, the investigator had make sure that all the evidences were located properly such as putting the desktop computer horizontally to prevent falling down and make sure the evidences were staying away from the speakers that were built in the car. This is to ensure all of the digital evidence were staying away from all of the possible magnetic sources to prevent some circuit failure. The temperature inside the transport were also been controlled to make sure all of the digital evidences will not overheated which gives damages to the electronic evidences.

4.3 Chain of Custody

5.0 Critical Analysis According to the evidence that collected by the inspector Thor, there were total 10 numbers of digital evidence that needed to be analysed. All of the evidence were gathered from the suspect room and there were no live acquisition to bring forward for the further investigation.
The first evidence is the mobile phone with the evidence ID001. The senior analyser had found there were a SD memory card inside the mobile phone. The SD card will bring forward for the forensic investigation.

Figure 5.2: Evidence ID002 CPU

Figure 5.2 shows the second digital evidence that been collected. The computer was believed spoiled as there is device failure while the analyser trying to abstract the image file of the desktop computer. There is possibilities that the computer was too old and spoil or there were something made towards the computer to prevent analyser to gain data from it.

Figure 5.3: Evidence ID003 Printer
Figure 5.3: Evidence ID003 Printer

Figure 5.3 shows there were printer been collected to find out extra information. However, there were no logs stored inside the printer. It is known as old model of printer.

5.1 Forensic Analysis
In this part, the forensic examiner, Hon Hao Kong will examine and analyzed all the digital evidence seized in previous stage. Evidence 001, 005, 008, 009, and 0010 will be the digital evidences to be examined and analyzed.

Table 1 Chain of Custody for Evidence 005

Firstly, the examiner created dd image for evidence 005 from the original copy and retain two copies of it using Access Data FTK Imager as shown in Figure 1 below.

Figure 1 Create dd image for evidence 005
Md5 and SHA1 hashes were then identified on every copy to ensure all the hashes are same as the original copy as shown in Figure 1 above. This is to preserve the evidence so that no changes were made to the original evidence.

After that, evidence 005 is analyzed using Autopsy 3.0.10, a digital forensic tools based on The Sleuth Kit™. There are an deleted excel file and a deleted .jpg file bring found and extracted using that tools as shown in Figure 2.

Figure 2 Deleted found file for evidence 005
However, the excel files is being protected. However, the content of the excel file had been revealed using Autopsy 3.0.10. Figure 3 below shows the content of the database and its metadata. It seems like a database which consists of all the staff’s bank account information. From this, we know that James had unauthorized accessed to the staff’s database in his computer.

Figure 3 Database Consist of Staff Information
Although the excel files is deleted, but its metadata remain and being retrieved using Autopsy 3.0.10. It shows that Mr. James is the creator and the modifier of the excel files. With this, we believe that Mr. James had unauthorized access the company database and save the information for his personal use.
Besides that, from the deleted JPG images, we found some online transaction statements, showing that James had performed online transaction by deposit and withdraw money against his company staff’s account. Figure 4 below shows a sample of the transaction statement from Bankwest- a bank in Australia. With this we have strong reason to believe that Mr. James had unauthorized performed some transaction against his staff’s account.

Figure 4 Bankwest’s transaction statement

Figure 5 Deleted Browser History for evidence 005
Besides that, the examiner found some deleted browser history using Autopsy 3.0.10 as shown in Figure 5 above. From the browser history, we found out that James had accessed to an online gambling website- “bet365.com”, banking website- “bankwest.com”. He had also performed some google search on generating fake email techniques as well as some generating cipher techniques. From this, we know that James performed some online transaction using “bankwest.com” and performed illegal online gambling.

Figure 6 Deleted Emails Found for evidence 005
Besides that, there is an option in Autopsy where we can locate all the emails even if it is deleted. Figure 6 above shows all deleted email message. After clicking “View Source File in Directory”, the directory where all deleted emails is being retrieved as:
“/Users/James/AppData/Roaming/Thunderbird/Profiles/jjzurk7b.default/ImapMail/ima.googlemail.com/[Gmail].sbd”
From the recovered email message, it shows that James had chat with his wife Mary Lih Yin with the conversation regarding cipher. It also shows a user named “Hao Kong” had send enquiries to Mr. James regarding the gaining money through advertisement postings. Thus, we have strong reason to believe that Mr. James had sent some spam advertisement emails to some users.

Figure 7 hash of evidence 001
Figure 7 above shows the md5 hash and sha1 hash for evidence 001. Same as evidence 005, this dd image is created in two copies, while all the copies having same hash. This is to prove that no changes were made to the original copy.

Figure 8 deleted image in sd Card for evidence 001
After that, the dd image of the phone’s sd card was processed and analysed using Autopsy 3.0.10. It shows that there are some .jpeg images being deleted. Two of the image raised the suspicion of the examiner. As shown in Figure 9 below, it shows a database’s content being captured using the phone camera.

Figure 9 deleted database image A
However, the content of the database is same as the excel file in previous section. From this, we have strong reason to believe that Mr. James performed unauthorized access to the company database and capture a picture of it and saved in the sd card. However, even though it is deleted, but it had been successfully recovered.

Figure 10 deleted image B
As show in Figure 10, Mr James had captured and saved his transaction list in his phone’s sd card. From the transaction list, we know that Mr. James had performed transaction by deposit and withdraw against staffs account.

Figure 11 Create DD image of James's Removable drive
For evidence 008, 009 and 0010 which is Mr. James’ removable drives, the examiner also create the dd image and preserve these evidences by creating two copies of it and verify its MD5 and SHA1 hash as show in Figure 11. However, after analyzing, the examiner found out that all the data inside is not related to the case, it’s all Mr. James song, movies and photo.

6.0 Case Reconstruction
Not all evidences collected will be used for identification and analysis purpose. We must identify the function, locations and the duration for the evidences. Therefore, in this stage, the examiner will construct all the evidences to find out which is related to the case. This stage broken down into three sections: functional, timeline and relational analysis. Functional analysis is to find out how the evidence works and is that possible or impossible to work. Timeline analysis is to find out the sequences of analyzing the evidence in time. Last but not least, relational analysis is to find out who is involved in the case, where it is happens and what is the case.
6.1 Functional Analysis
There are some evidences found using forensic tools in previous section. The first evidence is found is the seizure computer. After the investigation on it, we found out that Mr. James running Windows 7 in his laptop’s virtual machines. Some files are being recovered using forensic tools- Autopsy 3.0.10. We found out that Mr. James created a excel file and put all the staff’s information inside it and this excel file is being deleted. Besides that, Mr. James performed some search on email spoofing and cipher creation techniques on his chrome browser. He also frequently accessed banking website- “bankwest.com.au” and online gambling website- “bet365.com”. Besides that, he used Mozilla Thunderbird as his email manager and chat client. Analysis in previous section shows that Mr. James has a conversation channel with his wife in Mozilla Thunderbird and he also sends spam advertisement emails using this. Table 1 below shows the Mr. James action and the software used in this case.

Action | Software | Description | - Create excel files | - Microsoft Excel | - Created database related to staff information and deleted it | - Create fake email- Chat with Mary | - Mozilla Thunderbird | - Created and send spams advertisement email- Chat with his wife, Mary regarding cipher and email spoofing | - Accessed online gambling website, banking website- Search on cipher and faking email | - Google Chrome | - Performed online gambling and online banking - Learn cipher and email spoofing techiques |
Table 3 Mr. James Functional Analysis

6.2 Timeline Analysis
On 25th May 2014, our team had applied for the search warrant in the suspect’s- Mr. James room. On 1st June 2014, the search warrant had been obtained. On 2nd June, we performed and search and seizure at the suspect room. The suspect room was taken photograph from all directions. All the seize evidence had been identified and preserved. MD5 and SHA1 hash was identified for all the evidence collected. This is done to preserve the integrity of the data in the evidence.
The analysis was then started on 5th June, where the dd image of James laptop is being added and analyzed in Autopsy 3.0.10- a forensic tool based on The Sleuth Kit. The analysis shows that Mr. James had browse through the online gambling website and banking website on 18th May to 21st May- which is 1 week before Susan Rice, Manager of MATM received the complaint. Besides that, it shows that Mr. James had an email conversation in Mozilla Thunderbird with his wife, Mary on 20th May regarding cipher and email spoofing topics. Besides that, Mr. James had created and deleted a database with all the staff information on 21st May.
After analyzed Mr. James laptop, we quickly analyzed the sd card of Mr. James phone on 20th June 2014. It shows that there are 2 photos being deleted from his sd card regarding the database and bank transaction history on 22nd May. Whereby, the database photo having the same content as the excel database in his desktop.
With all this information and the timestamps, we have strong reason to believe that the suspect Mr. James had performed the crime as stated in the case study.

6.3 Relational Analysis

Figure 12 Relational Analysis
Based on Figure 12 above, we basically understand the whole story. James, a Manager’s Secretary of MATM plans to perform money laundering using staffs account. He asked his wife, Mary to perform the transaction in the staff account as his wife holds an importance position in Bankwest by providing the database of the staff account to his wife. Besides that, Susan Rice the manager of MATM received complaint from her staffs regarding money added and subtracted from their bank account and their friends received unwanted advertisement emails.

7.0 Apply and Result of Subpoena

Once the subpoena been applied towards the BankWest shown in appendix B, the forensic investigator had found out that the transaction shown were matched as what been assume earlier on. Although there were unknown had transfer the money into bank account of the staffs, on the next day, the same amount of money are all been transferred to the family account of Mr James.

The family were all being questioned and they had clarified that they did not knew there were money being transferred into their account. They claimed that all of their accounts were handle by Mary, the wife most of the time.

After the investigation and result gained from the subpoena, it were able to prove that Mr James and his wife were performing money laundering.

8.0 Legal Discussion and Implication
This section of the report covers the legal discussions of the acts committed by Mr. James and his wife using the accounts of MATM’s staff. These unethical and unlawful acts would be judged based on a few Australian laws and to name a few would be the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006, Interactive Gambling Act 2001, Privacy Act 1988, and the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997. Since the crimes committed were done in Bankwest in Perth, Australia the penalties that will be sentenced on the perpetrator will be based on the Australian Laws. 1. Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006
This law was established after close consultation with stakeholders from various industries from 2004 to 2005 and the Australian government decided to implement this AML/CTF Act in two divisions. The first was to regulate the financial and gambling sectors and the second was to extend the jurisdiction to include business and professions such as lawyers, accountants, and real estate agents (Commonwealth of Australian, 2013). The act was meant to help detect and prevent money laundering from happening as it also provides financial intelligence for major agencies in Australia. Mr. James and his wife as an accomplice had violated this act by laundering money using the MATM’s staff accounts. 2. Interactive Gambling Act 2001
This act was devised to regulate interactive gambling services such as betting, online poker, and internet gambling. These services are regulated by prohibiting customers in Australia to indulge in interactive gambling services and also to prohibit any Australian-based interactive gambling services to customers in any countries. One of the important things outlined in the act is that any form of advertising for of interactive gambling service is prohibited (ComLaw, 2011). In the Department of Broadband, Communications and the Digital Economy’s (DBCDE) Final Report it was stated that all types of micro betting should be banned and the state authorities and sporting bodies have greater power in approving bet types for betting companies (J. Nettleton, 2013). In this case, Mr. James had violated this law by advertising his betting services in emails and also by illegally conducting online wagering services. 3. Privacy Act 1988
The Privacy Act of 1988 was developed with the objective of protecting the privacy and protecting the data for individuals including promoting the transparent handling of personal information by business entities responsibly. Stated in the object of the act is also on ensuring privacy of individuals is respected when facilitating a credit reporting system (ComLaw, 2014). Mr. James and his wife both did not get the consent all the staff that had money added and subtracted from their account therefore, they will be put to trial with this act being one of their convictions. 4. Income Tax Assessment Act 1997
This Act is designed to help an individual to accurately identify the provisions that are relevant to their purpose in reading the income tax law. The act focuses on other obligations of individuals other than just being taxpayers of Australia which are to keep records of income and provide information on it and to lodge income tax returns based on annual earnings (Australian Taxation Office, 2013). Every registered business and source of income of an individual must have its tax paid for. Due to Mr. James being an illegal bookie, the income from this financial fraud crime did not have its tax paid which also mainly due to his money laundering activities. 5. Cybercrime Act 2001
This act was enacted to help deter crimes happening online and on computers. It was a quick decision to come up with this acts due to the well-publicized online attacks. The Australian government has a reputation of implementing excessive online laws which is also capable of criminalizing innocent activities such as possession of security software (Electronic Frontiers, 2001). In this case, Mr. James is guilty of accessing a computer with authorization and using it for other illegal activities.

8.1 Legal Discussion Perspectives
From the analysis results of the evidence obtained, it is clear that Mr. James had committed numerous crimes and will be put on trial for his offences. The following table shows the parties involved in this case and also how they are involved. Parties | Description | Mr. James | The main perpetrator of this case. Among the charges that will be filed against him are counts of money laundering, tax evasion, illegal sports betting, and also unauthorized access to personal database and distribution personal data of MATM staff. | Mary | Wife of Mr. James and Secretary Manager in Bankwest. She is an accomplice to the crimes of Mr. James which includes laundering money using accounts of registered bank customers. She also had access to personal data of MATM staff in the form of an Excel file. | MATM | Mr. James was the head of accounting department in this company. This is the company where he stole the staff database and shared it with his wife, Mary. The company is able to sue Mr. James for disclosing personal data of staff and for using their staff as a medium to launder money. | Victims (MATM Staff) | The staffs noticed transactions happening in their bank account where small amounts of money is added and then subtracted from their account. One staff claimed his personal email address was used to send advertising emails about the FIFA World Cup and this is due to Mr. James performing email spoofing. This staffs are the victims of having their personal data misused. | AUSTRAC | They are the financial intelligence unit and anti-money laundering regulators in Australia. They serve to protect the integrity of their country’s financial system. They will be the main party trying to get Mr. James a long time in prison. |

Mr. James can be convicted under many acts as stated above. Written below are some of the many implications that he might face. 1. MATM vs Mr. James
Statement:
Mr. James misused his powers by accessing personnel database without authorization and took pictures of the databases using his phone and later gave it to his wife in an Excel file format. The MATM employees noticed their fellow colleague have been spamming them with advertising emails regarding the FIFA World Cup in their inboxes.
Verdict:
Based on the statement above, it is concluded that Mr. James had unauthorized access to the database of MATM which is a direct violation to the Cybercrime Act 2001 Part 10.7 Division 477.1 (5) which is titled ‘Unauthorized access, modification or impairment with intent to commit a serious offence’. This part of the act states that a person is guilty of an offence if the person “causes any unauthorized access to data held in a computer, and the person knows the access, modification or impairment is unauthorized”. The fact that Mr. James had use this information for other illegal purposes like money laundering and illegal betting, his case will also be classified as a serious computer offence where “the person intends to commit, or facilitate the commission of, a serious offence against a law of the Commonwealth by the access, modification or impairment”. The penalty that he might receive for this breach of trust is only 2 years, but for his case it might reach up to the amount of jail time for the serious offence that he has committed from accessing the database, which is money laundering. 2. Data theft victims (MATM Staff) vs Mr. James
Statement:
Mr. James and his wife had used the personal data for the MATM staff for their personal gain. It can be said that Mr. James had used the information of the staff without consent and his wife, Mary had been an accomplice to James in abetting his crime.
Verdict:
Privacy Act 1988 Part IIIA Division 3 Subdivision E 20Q (2) (a) states that “all credit reporting body has to enter into agreements with credit providers that require the providers to protect credit reporting information that is disclosed to them from unauthorized access, modification or disclosure” which is what Mr. James had violated while being in a position of power. As such, he is deemed to have caused an offence in Privacy Act 1988 Part IIIA Division 6 No.24 which states “an entity commits an offence if the entity obtains credit reporting information and the entity is not an entity to which the body is permitted to disclose the information under Division 2 of this Part”. The penalty to this offence is 200 penalty units and currently one penalty unit is $144.36 (Victoria Legal Aid, 2014). This may lead Mr. James and his wife to be fined up to $28,872 individually.

3. AUSTRAC vs Mr. James
Statement:
Mr. James had been laundering money with the help of his wife, Mary with the earnings from his FIFA World Cup betting services that he provides. Due to earning funds from illicit activities, the money earned will not be taxed therefore Mr. James will also be charged with tax evasion.
Verdict:
It is stated in the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006 Part 12 (142) (1) that “the first person is, or causes another person to become, a party to 2 or more non‑reportable transactions and it would be reasonable to conclude that the first person conducted, or caused the transactions to be conducted, in that manner or form for the sole or dominant purpose of ensuring, or attempting to ensure, that the money or property involved in the transactions was transferred in a manner and form that would not give rise to a threshold transaction that would have been required to have been reported under section 43”. Mr. James had made his wife become an accomplice by having her to launder his dirty money and it will be impossible for both of them to claim they did their actions unknowingly. The penalty for this crime might be up to 5 years and 300 penalty units.
Sports betting are considered as excluded wagering service and are legal in Australia if it complies with specific rules. Based on the Interactive Gambling Act 2001 Part 2A (15) “a person is guilty of an offence if the person intentionally provides an interactive gambling service and is a service relating to betting on the outcome of a game of chance or of mixed chance and skill.” Mr. James has also been acting as a bookie for the FIFA World Cup and has not registered his business therefore making it illegal. He also committed another offense which was to advertise his betting service on emails and this offence may lead to a penalty of 2000 penalty units.
Mr. James had also violated the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997 by soliciting himself with illicit money gained from being a FIFA World Cup bookie. This will be one of the charges AUSTRAC will be charging Mr. James with in accordance to the money laundering charges.

9.0 Conclusion and recommendations

9.1 Conclusion

Mr. James is the supervisor of the accounting department in MATM and has committed several crimes during his period of working with MATM. He was also a bookie for the FIFA World Cup 2014 and opened an online betting service. He used email spoofing to use an email of his staff to advertise his betting service. In order to gain access to the staff information, Mr. James used the company workstation and had unauthorized access to its database which he took pictures of and provided it to his wife to launder money for him. Staff of MATM began complaining to their manager Susan Rice that money was being added and then subtracted from their account. Susan Rice decided to have an investigation as Mr. James turned out to be the main suspect. Numerous steps as documented above are done before seizing the evidence and during the seizing of evidence. The evidences seized were Mr. James mobile phone, printer, laptop, and pen drives. Legal implications were discussed as well whereby it was shown that Mr. James would be charged under 5 different acts which are the Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing Act 2006, Interactive Gambling Act 2001, Privacy Act 1988, and the Income Tax Assessment Act 1997.
9.2 Recommendations

1. Having a superior to always keep an eye on the activities done by the managers and head of departments. 2. Having the database files to require two authorization or 2 accounts to be logged in to be accessed as this would prevent unauthorized access like what Mr. James did. 3. Implementing CCTV to monitor employee behavior during working hours. Employees network activity should also be monitored to gain knowledge of what they are doing in the office. 4. The company must implement Access Level Privileges (ACL) to all staffs, so that every staffs will have limited access to company information. 5. Be aware of more new forensics software to bring into investigation.

Appendix A– Affadavit

AFFIDAVOT FOR SEARCH WARRANT Search Warrant Number:1314567
AFFIDAVIT AND APPLICATION FOR A SEARCH WARRANT

The undersigned Affiant, being a Police Officer under the laws of Australia and being duly sworn, on oath makes the following statements and accusations: 1) There is in Melbourne, Australia, a suspected place and premises described as and located as follows Unit 2, 27 Morang Rd, Hawthorn, VIC 3122 2) There is at said suspected place and premises the following item(s) which are implements or instruments used in the commission of a crime and, or items constituting evidence of a criminal offense or constituting evidence tending to show that a particular person committed a criminal offense: a. Computers, including personal computers, smartphone, computer systems, central processing units, and computer peripheral devices, any electronic, magnetic, optical, electrochemical, or other high speed data processing and storage devices performing logical, arithmetic, or storage functions; data storage facilities (internal and/or peripheral) or media storage devices such as magnetic tape, hard disk drives, floppy disks, thumb drive, CD-ROM or scanner; b. Data stored within computers or other processing and storage devices, to include computer applications, images, text, programs, encryption routines and algorithms, or other data that may be decoded, reconstituted, or otherwise manipulated to produce, utilize, transmit, receive, encrypt, encode, or display such images, text, programs, encryption routines, and algorithms. c. Computer manuals, documents, logs and system documentation or instructional material including passwords, passphrases or other material whether handwritten, printed, or in book form, relating to such devices and printers. a. Electronic communications stored within computers or other processing and storage devices as e-mail. Such information and/or communications that may be in the form of electronic communications (such as e-mail) residing on any media (e.g., magnetic, optical or digital media). That information may include electronic communications held or maintained in electronic storage by an electronic communication service or remote computing service. These communications are referred to herein as “stored communications”. These communications related to this case stored in the suspect’s computer or other electronic devices as e-mail. a. Printed copy(s) of electronic communications between suspect and conspirators, known or unknown. **OR** a. Printed copy(s) of electronic communications between suspect and other persons, known or unknown apparently interested in suspect. 3) Said suspected place and premises are in charge of and controlled by each of the following persons: James Michael. DOB: 2 September 1969. 4) It is the belief of the Affiant, and he hereby charges and accuses, that: James Michael. DOB: 2 September 1978, committed the offense(s) of Personal Data Protection Act 2009 Section 130 Computer Crime Act 1997 Section 3 5) Affiant has probable cause for said belief by reason of the following facts: a. Affiant is Thor Lih Yin, Senior Inspector

b. During the course of this investigation and preparation of this warrant, Affiant has consulted with an Investigator for Australia. The Investigator is responsible for the investigation of cases involving computers utilized in criminal activities. c. Based on your Affiant’s knowledge, training, and experience along with the experience of other law enforcement personnel with whom Affiant has consulted on this issue, your Affiant knows that data “erased” or unsaved can remain on a computer for some time after it is deleted and or viewed in slack or unallocated space. It will remain on the computer until such data is overwritten by another file, which frequently does not occur for months. d. Based upon your Affiant’s knowledge, training, and experience along with the experience of other law enforcement personnel with whom Affiant has consulted on this issue, your Affiant knows that effective searches and seizures of evidence from computers commonly require law enforcement officers to seize most or all computer items (hardware, software, and documentation) and then process these items later in a controlled laboratory environment which may be in a County other than that in which the material was seized. This is true because of the following:

i. Computer storage devices (hard disks, diskettes, tape, and removable drives) can store the equivalent of thousands or millions of pages of information. When users desire to conceal criminal evidence, they often store the information in random order with deceptive file names. Directories and subdirectories that contain these files can also be electronically hidden from normal view. Special forensic software is required to detect these hidden directories. This requires searching authorities examine all the stored data to determine whether it is included in the search warrant. This sorting process can take weeks or months, depending on the volume of data stored. This would make it impractical to attempt this kind of forensic analysis on site at the time of search warrant execution. ii. Searching computer systems for criminal evidence is a highly technical process requiring expert skills in a properly controlled environment. The vast array of computer hardware and software available requires even computer experts to specialize in some systems and applications. It is difficult to predict before a search which expert should analyze the system and its data or which facility would be best suited to that analysis. iii. The search of a computer is an exacting scientific procedure which is designed to protect the integrity of the evidence and to recover even hidden, erased, compressed, password protected, and/or encrypted files. Since computer evidence is extremely vulnerable to tampering or destruction from both external sources or from destructive codes imbedded in the system in the form of a “booby trap,” the controlled environment of a forensic laboratory is essential to its complete and accurate analysis and retrieval. iv. In order to fully retrieve data from a computer system, the forensic analyst needs all magnetic storage devices, as well as the central processing unit (CPU). In cases like this one, where the evidence consists partly of graphic files, the monitor and printer are also essential to show the nature and quality of graphic images that the system could produce. v. In addition, the forensic analyst needs all the system manuals, directions, notes, passwords, software, encryption, encoding, archiving, unarchiving and security software (operating system, applications, and hardware drivers) which may have been used to retrieve, store, create, transmit, encrypt or encode the data. The Affiant seeks the above noted items to facilitate and affect search with minimal intrusion and to lessen the likelihood of damage to non-pertinent files or equipment. vi. In addition, there is probable cause to believe that the computer and its storage devices, monitor, keyboard, modem, printer, as well as all internal and external storage devices are all instruments used in the commission of this crime and should be seized as such. WHEREFORE, based on the facts, circumstances, the training of Affiant and the information noted in this document, Affiant asks for issuance of a warrant that will authorize him to search said suspected place and premises for said personal property and seize the same.

These security risks include breach of confidentiality of communication and transactions, violation of personal privacy, crime and fraud, disruption of services, and distribution of inappropriate content, among others. The goal of digital security is to research into and develop mechanisms to address these security risks. In this paper we briefly survey some of the emerging issues in digital security. The literature shows that while some domains in digital security have remained unchanged over a long time, for example cryptography, new areas have emerged including steganography. Keywords – digital forensic techniques, volatitle data extraction, digital image forensics, malware investigations, email security, symmetric key cryptography, asymmetric key cryptography, public key cryptography. Introduction Forensic science is defined as the application of the sciences as it pertains to legal matters or problems (Gialamas, 2000).

How Dennis Was Identified Using Digital Forensic

...HOW DIGITAL FORENSICS WAS USED TO IDENTIFY RADER (Student’s Name) (Professor’s Name) (Course Title) (Date of Submission) Introduction Dennis Lynn Rader’s case remains the longest case to be handled ever taking almost 30 years. His case was opened when he handed in a computer floppy to the police. Careful forensics carried out on the floppy revealed a document that had been edited by someone by the name Dennis in computers at the Christ Lutheran Church. This led to physical location of the suspect. To nail down the suspect as the BTN killer, DNA tests were carried out on Rader’s daughter, Kerri Rader and it was found to be matching. Comparing this to the DNA tests from the murder cases BTN killer emerged to be Rader. This was enough evidence to convict Rader for 10 murder cases. Digital evidence uncovered from the floppy disk Immediately Rader sent a floppy to the police containing Microsoft word document, the floppy was handed over to the computer forensic experts at the FBI for examinations. Inside the floppy was a file called “Test A.RTF.” The contents of the file read “This is a test. See 3x5 Card for details on communication with me in the newspaper.” The message referred to the card that was inside the same box that had the floppy. The officers further recovered a word document that had been deleted on the drive. Careful examination on the properties of the retrieved document showed that the document which had been modified on February 10th 2005 and had...

Welcome to Homicide

...Welcome to Homicide Forensic Science is a fundamental component of the justice system. Forensic scientists use scientific techniques and knowledge to assist law enforcement in investigations and solving crimes. They collect and analyze numerous types of evidence, including blood, body fluids; DNA; and human tissue. Forensic scientists assist the decision makers by showing the prosecutor if the issue has merit before it reaches the courtroom thereby reducing the number of cases having to be heard. Their decisions are based on scientific investigations and not circumstantial evidence or unreliable witnesses. Forensic scientists can restore faith in the judicial system with the use of science and technology for facts in criminal and civil investigations. The legal system is established on the belief that the legal process results in justice for all. History of forensic science The history of Forensic science or the applying of scientific principles to legal questions has a lengthy and interesting history. The first recorded autopsy was reported in 44 B.C was on Julius Caesar, where the Roman physician, Antistius proclaimed that he had 23 wounds on his body but only one was fatal. In 1248, a Chinese book entitled “His Duan Yu” (meaning The Washing Away of Wrongs) explaining how to tell apart a drowning from a strangulation. This was also the first recorded use of medicine to assist in solving crimes. In 1590, the first microscope was developed. In 1775, Karl...

...International Journal of Digital Evidence Fall 2007, Volume 6, Issue 2 Computer Forensic Analysis in a Virtual Environment Derek Bem Ewa Huebner University of Western Sydney, Australia Abstract In this paper we discuss the potential role of virtual environments in the analysis phase of computer forensics investigations. General concepts of virtual environments and software tools are presented and discussed. Further we identify the limitations of virtual environments leading to the conclusion that this method can not be considered to be a replacement for conventional techniques of computer evidence collection and analysis. We propose a new approach where two environments, conventional and virtual, are used independently. Further we demonstrate that this approach can considerably shorten the time of the computer forensics investigation analysis phase and it also allows for better utilisation of less qualified personnel. Keywords: Computer Forensics, Virtual Machine, computer evidence. Introduction In this paper we examine the application of the VMWare (VMWare, 2007) virtual environment in the analysis phase of a computer forensics investigation. We show that the environment created by VMWare differs considerably from the original computer system, and because of that VMWare by itself is very unlikely to produce court admissible evidence. We propose a new approach when two environments, conventional and virtual, are used concurrently and independently. After the images...

Spafford spaf@cerias.purdue.edu Center for Education and Research in Information Assurance and Security - CERIAS Purdue University West Lafayette, IN 47907 USA Abstract In this paper, we present a framework for digital forensics that includes an investigation process model based on physical crime scene procedures. In this model, each digital device is considered a digital crime scene, which is included in the physical crime scene where it is located. The investigation includes the preservation of the system, the search for digital evidence, and the reconstruction of digital events. The focus of the investigation is on the reconstruction of events using evidence so that hypotheses can be developed and tested. This paper also includes definitions and descriptions of the basic and core concepts that the framework uses. 1 Introduction Since the first Digital Forensic Research Workshop (DFRWS) in 2001 [Pal01], the need for a standard framework has been understood, yet there has been little progress on one that is generally accepted. A framework for digital forensics needs to be flexible enough so that it can support future technologies and different types of incidents. Therefore, it needs to be simple and abstract. On the other hand, if it is too simple and abstract then it is difficult to create tool requirements and test procedures for each phase. For this paper...
