INVESTIGATION

The general approach to investigating the technical aspects of any computer related crime is:

• Eliminate the obvious.• Hypothesize the attack.• Collect evidence, including, possibly, the computer themselves.• Reconstruct the crime.• Perform a trace back to the source computer.• Analyze the source, target, and intermediate computer.• Turn your finding and evidentiary material over corporate

investigators or law enforcement for follow-up.

A good investigation need network forensic, hardware forensic and software forensic.

Seizing the computerComputers do not have unique identity

It will not help also

Contents have to be seized uniquely.

Hashing

Only solution

Requirements are

Algorithm should run in an trusted environment

Suspect disk should be write-blocked

No time stamps should be altered

INVESTIGATION OF SEIZED MATERIAL

• In a 'simple' case of hacking it would be possible to trace out the IP address by the 'who is' query.

• The IP address may be found in the " page Source " head (Netscape)and "source" head in Internet Explorer

• Confirm identity of suspect by running the "who is' query".

• The "who is”details generated may be genuine or that of a "compromised" machine.

E-MAIL CRIMES

• The header will give the IP address. Run "who is" to ascertain the details of the service provider, whose Mail service was used by the suspect.

• If by analyzing circumstances, it is felt that the "who is "result is genuine, the location of suspect can be traced with the help of ISP.

• In case of forged/bogus or disguised/number letter mix-up e-mail identities, the ISP can help in identifying, the suspect with the help of the E-mail header by analyzing its contents and "message ID "(see boxes for forged/bogus, disguised senders details).

• The ISP will be able to help in locating a suspect, because when a person dials up to connect with an ISP, he/she is logged on to one of the Servers of the ISP. This server assigns ( depending on the port of entry) a specific IP address to the user. This IP address temporarily becomes the IP address of the user for that specific session.
