The Network Factor in Proactive Digital Evidence Acquisition
Irvin Homem, Spyridon Dosis, Oliver Popov · International Journal of Intelligent Computing Research · 2015
While cybercrime proliferates -becoming more complex and surreptitious -the tools and techniques used in performing digital investigations are still seriously lagging behind, effectively slowing down law enforcement agencies at large.In this paper we briefly describe the architecture of a comprehensive proactive digital investigation system that is termed as the Live Evidence Information Aggregator (LEIA).Particular focus is made on the importance of the efficiency of network communication in such a system in order to retrieve potentially evidentiary information remotely and with immediacy.We demonstrate the live evidence capturing capabilities of such a system highlighting the necessity for better throughput through the use of Peer-to-Peer Systems.
