TL;DR: This work aims to improve the ability of analysts to find events for cyber forensics analysis by proposing a tabulated vector approach and introducing the breakdown distance heuristic as a decomposition of the Mahalanobis distance.
Abstract: Firewalls, especially at large organizations, process high velocity internet traffic and flag suspicious events and activities. Flagged events can be benign, such as misconfigured routers, or malig...

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors used a scenario-based role-play experiment based on the usage of QR codes to detect how mobile users respond to social engineering attacks conducted via mobile devices.
Abstract: This paper uses a scenario-based, role-play experiment based on the usage of QR codes to detect how mobile users respond to social engineering attacks conducted via mobile devices. The results of this experiment outline a guided mobile phone forensics investigation method that could facilitate the work of digital forensics investigators while analyzing the data from mobile devices. The behavioral response of users could be impacted by several aspects, such as impulsivity, smartphone usage and security, or simply awareness that QR codes could contain malware. The findings indicate that the impulsivity of users is one of the key areas that determines the common mistakes of mobile device users. As a result, an investigative framework for mobile phone forensics is proposed based on the impulsivity and common mistakes of mobile device users. It could help the forensics investigators by potentially shortening the time spent on investigation of possible breach scenarios.

TL;DR: The discipline, its development, and critical issues associated with its practice are described, indicating an abuse of new developments that requires a response by those involved in law enforcement.
Abstract: The number of computer security incidents is growing exponentially and society's collective ability to respond to this crisis is constrained by the lack of trained professionals. The field of computer forensics is relatively new and this paper describes the discipline, its development, and critical issues associated with its practice. The increased use of the Internal and computer technology to commit crimes indicates an abuse of new developments that requires a response by those involved in law enforcement. Cyber crimes and many child-related sex crimes leave clear digital evidence that must be investigated by those who are trained in computer forensics. University computer science programs are perfectly suited to respond to this crisis. With minor changes, computer science programs can address the growing demand for forensics professionals.

TL;DR: The Remote Acquisition Forensic Tool (RAFT) as discussed by the authors is a system designed to facilitate forensic investigators by remotely gathering digital evidence, which is achieved through the implementation of a secure, verifiable client/server imaging architecture.
Abstract: Providing the ability to any law enforcement officer to remotely transfer an image from any suspect computer directly to a forensic laboratory for analysis, can only help to greatly reduce the time wasted by forensic investigators in conducting on-site collection of computer equipment. RAFT (Remote Acquisition Forensic Tool) is a system designed to facilitate forensic investigators by remotely gathering digital evidence. This is achieved through the implementation of a secure, verifiable client/server imaging architecture. The RAFT system is designed to be relatively easy to use, requiring minimal technical knowledge on behalf of the user. One of the key focuses of RAFT is to ensure that the evidence it gathers remotely is court admissible. This is achieved by ensuring that the image taken using RAFT is verified to be identical to the original evidence on a suspect computer.

TL;DR: The proposed method describes the current forensics and biometrics in a modern approach and implements the concept of IRIS along with brain and resolves the issues and increases the strength of Digital Forensics Community.
Abstract: The proposed method describes the current forensics and biometrics in a modern approach and implements the concept of IRIS along with brain and resolves the issues and increases the strength of Digital Forensics Community. It has enormous features in biometrics to enhance diverse security levels. A new method to identify individuals using IRIS Patterns with the brain wave signals (EEG) is proposed. Several different algorithms were proposed for detecting, verifying and extracting the deterministic patterns in a person ’s IRIS from the Eye. The extracted EEG recordings form the person's brain has proved to be unique. Next we combine EEG signals into the IRIS patterns a biometric application which makes use of future multi modal combination architecture. The proposed forensic research directions and argues that to move forward the community needs to adopt standardized, modular approaches for person identification. The result of each authentication test is compared with the user's pre-recorded measurements, using pattern recognition methods and signal-processing algorithms.
