Design And Implementation Of Linux Based Network Forensics System Using Virtual Honeynet

Abstract

Use of computer and Internet is now a mandatory perquisite for doing any kind of research, business, transactions, or precisely any daily routine. This thesis report focuses on Network Forensics & its related area. Reports also highlight some of the basic tools that can be used for the purpose of controlling & investigating Cyber crime and network attacks by the hacker community , which is growing exponentially. With the fast growing crime in the virtual world, tools and techniques to collect preserve and analyze digital data on the Internet for investigation and law enforcement purposes (termed as Network forensics) are also developed. Network forensics deals with the capture and analysis of the trace and log data of network intrusions from the current network security products and provides information to characterize intrusion or misbehavior features. To figure out such activities, people responsible for computer security incident response and digital forensic examination need to continually update their skills, tools, and knowledge to keep pace with changing technology. In M.Tech Thesis work, we will focus on this implementation of network forensic system using virtual honeynet to find out the activities of attackers.
