Acquisition Of Evidence From Network Intrusion Detection Systems, Brian Cusack, Muteb Alqahtani
Australian Digital Forensics Conference
The literature reviewed suggests that Network Intrusion Systems (NIDS) are valuable tools for the detection of malicious behaviour in network environments. NIDS provide alerts and the trigger for rapid responses to attacks. Our previous research had shown that NIDS performance in wireless networks had a wide variation under different workloads. In this research we chose wired networks and asked the question: What is the evidential value of NIDS? Three different NIDS were tested under two different attacks and with six different packet rates. The results were alarming. As the work loading increased the NIDS detection capability fell rapidly and as …

Identifying Bugs In Digital Forensic Tools, Brian Cusack, Alain Homewood
Australian Digital Forensics Conference
Bugs can be found in all code and the consequences are usually managed through upgrade releases, patches, and restarting operating systems and applications. However, in mission critical systems complete fall over systems are built to assure service continuity. In our research we asked the question, what are the professional risks of bugs in digital forensic tools? Our investigation reviewed three high use professional proprietary digital forensic tools, one in which we identified six bugs and evaluated these bug in terms of potential impacts on an investigator’s work. The findings show that yes major brand name digital forensic tools have software …
