CYB304 – Network Forensics

CYB304 – Network Forensics

Network forensics are essential to understand the techniques adopted by an adversary to penetrate an organisational network and to cause harm. The first part of this unit will cover an introduction to network forensics and fundamentals of network traffic analysis from a digital forensic viewpoint. Other topics include evidence gathering, information sources and challenges associated.

The second part of the unit provides applied knowledge and skills on packet analysis, statistical network flow analysis and wireless network forensics.

The third part of the unit includes network intrusion detection readiness and design for network forensics, data analysis (including log file, aggregation and correlation-based analysis), network device readiness for forensics (including switches, routers and firewalls), web proxies and network tunnelling.

The last part of the unit comprises a thorough review of forensic reporting techniques, and a comprehensive understanding of presentable network forensics evidence in the court of law, such as admissibility of evidence. 

Learning Outcomes:

  • Define and explain network security fundamentals and network forensic principles as applied to a real-world scenario
  • Analyse systems and platforms and contrast contemporary networking and security protocols
  • Evaluate network forensic procedures and use tools to analyse network forensic data
  • Apply network forensic procedures to demonstrate legal implications and to prepare a sound forensic report for examination by law enforcement agencies
