Digital Forensics And The Legal System: A Dilemma Of Our Times, James Tetteh Ami-Narh, Patricia A.H. Williams
Digital Forensics And The Legal System: A Dilemma Of Our Times, James Tetteh Ami-Narh, Patricia A.H. Williams
Australian Digital Forensics Conference
Computers have become an important part of our lives and are becoming fundamental to activities in the home and workplace. Individuals use computer technology to send emails, access banking information, pay taxes, purchase products, surf the internet and so on. Business also use computers and the Internet to perform accounting tasks, manage customer information, store trade secrets, and develop new products and services. State, Federal and Local government agencies use the computer and Internet to create and access information. Similarly, digital systems have become the mainstay of criminal activity. Legal proceedings have always been influenced by tradition and court decisions. …
Preventing The Acquisition Of Data From Virtual Machine Based Secure Portableexecution Environments, Peter James
Preventing The Acquisition Of Data From Virtual Machine Based Secure Portableexecution Environments, Peter James
Australian Digital Forensics Conference
A Virtual Machine (VM) based secure Portable Execution Environment (PEE) provides a safe and secure environment that can be loaded into a host PC and an application executed with a degree of confidence that the application is separated, protected and little or no forensic evidence remains after the application has executed. A VM based secure PEE is characterised as a USB storage device containing a VM with a trusted guest operating system and application(s) which is stored in a protected partition, strong authentication to only allow an authorised user to load the VM into the host PC, and full storage …

Data Recovery From Palmmsgv001, Satheesaan Pasupatheeswaran
Australian Digital Forensics Conference
Both SMS and MMS data analysis is an important factor in mobile forensic analysis. Author did not find any mobile forensic tool that is capable of extracting short messages (SMS) and multimedia messages (MMS) from Palm Treo 750. SMS file of Palm Treo 750 is called PalmMgeV001 and it is a proprietary file system. A research work done to find a method to recover SMS data from PalmMsgV001 file. This paper is going to describe the research work and its findings. This paper also discusses a methodology that will help recover SMS data from PalmMsgV001. The PalmMsgV001 file is analysed …
Virtual Environments Support Insider Security Violations, Iain Swanson, Patricia A.H. Williams
Virtual Environments Support Insider Security Violations, Iain Swanson, Patricia A.H. Williams
Australian Digital Forensics Conference
This paper describes an investigation into how an employee using a virtual environment can circumvent any or all of the security, policies and procedures within an organization. The paper discusses the fundamental issues that organizations must address to be able to detect such an attack. Attacks of this nature may be malicious with intent to cause disruption by flooding the network or disabling specific equipment, or non-malicious by quietly gathering critical information such as user names and passwords or a colleague’s internet banking details. Identification of potential residual evidence following an attack is presented. Such evidence may be used to …
Malware, Viruses And Log Visualisation, Iain Swanson
Malware, Viruses And Log Visualisation, Iain Swanson
Australian Digital Forensics Conference
This paper will look at the current state of visualization in relation to mainly malware collector logs, network logs and the possibility of visualizing their payloads. We will show that this type of visualization of activity on the network can help us in the forensic investigation of the traffic, which may contain unwanted pieces of cod, and may identify any patterns within the traffic or payloads that might help us determine the nature of the traffic visually. We will further speculate on a framework that could be built which would be able to finger print any type of malware, based …
Bots Trained To Play Like A Human Are More Fun, Bhuman Soni, Philip Hingston
Bots Trained To Play Like A Human Are More Fun, Bhuman Soni, Philip Hingston
Research outputs pre 2011
Computational intelligence methods are well-suited for use in computer controlled opponents for video games. In many other applications of these methods, the aim is to simulate near-optimal intelligent behaviour. But in video games, the aim is to provide interesting opponents for human players, not optimal ones. In this study, we trained neural network-based computer controlled opponents to play like a human in a popular first-person shooter. We then had gamers play-test these opponents as well as a hand-coded opponent, and surveyed them to find out which opponents they enjoyed more. Our results show that the neural network-based opponents were clearly …

Photonic-Based Spectral Reflectance Sensor For Ground-Based Plant Detection And Weed Discrimination, Arie Paap, Sreten Askraba, Kamal Alameh, John Rowe
Research outputs pre 2011
A bench prototype photonic-based spectral reflectance sensor architecture for use in selective herbicide spraying systems performing non-contact spectral reflectance measurements of plants and soil is described and experimental data obtained with simulated farming vehicle traveling speeds of 7 and 22 km/h is presented. The sensor uses a three-wavelength laser diode module that sequentially emits identically-polarized laser light beams through a common aperture, along one optical path. Each laser beam enters a multi-spot beam generator which produces up to 14 parallel laser beams over a 210mm span. The intensity of the reflected light from each spot is detected by a high-speed …
