Smita Verma, Anurag Jain . An Overview to the Robust and Secure Evidence-Gathering Server for the Digital Forensic. International Journal of Computer Applications. 71, 15 ( June 2013), 6-11. DOI=10.5120/12432-8887
Abstract
Since the advent of the World Wide Web in 1990, the usage of Internet over worldwide has grown from roughly 2. 6 million users (0. 05% of the world population) in 1990, to roughly 2. 0 billion users (30% of the world population) in 2010 (The World Bank Group, 2012). This trend is expected to continue for the foreseeable future (Cisco Internet Business Solutions Group as cited in Evans, 2011). With this, websites have become increasingly important in the lives of individuals worldwide. There security is also a big issue for the professionals. In this paper, we would like to propose a method for maintaining & managing a server called an "evidence-gathering server". This evidence-gathering server extracts the log data from all the nodes and servers of clustered area. we are also using the concept of hashing, this hash value will always associated with every binary object of logs. In this way, we will provide a single place to get all the network level evidences. This will help the forensic analyst to analyse and reconstruct the activity, and give results in faster time.
