Gathering Evidence from an IDS

Leave a Comment / CHFI, Knowledge Base / By

Gathering Evidence from an IDS in this the monitoring network traffic is of prime importance. Organizations install IDSes to monitor intrusions. To capture network traffic, first configure the IDS. However, this is not sufficient as a source of evidence, because the 1DS is incapable of performing integrity checks on log files. In a network investigation, preserving digital evidence is difficult, as the data displayed on screen will remain only for few seconds. The Windows HyperTerminal …

Understand Evidence Gathering via Sniffing in this aerticle a computer connected to the LAN has two addresses. One is that the MAC address that specifically identifies each node within the network and is stored on the network card itself. The ethernet protocol uses the MAC address while building “frames” to exchange the info among the systems. the opposite is that the IP address employed by the applications. The data-link layer uses an ethernet header with …
