Unmasking of source identity, a step beyond in cyber forensic
Rachana Patil, Satish Devane · 2017
Increasing number of digital crime raises the need of investigation where the most critical step is to collect the evidences of attack and find the real origin of the attack. However the attacker can easily spoof the source IP address and hence the source IP address information in IP header of the packet cannot be considered as the evidence against the attacker. Traceback based network forensic is the category of techniques which can be used to accurately identify the source of the attack. The up-to-date analysis is required to construct the new methods for finding exact source. The detail issues and challenges in identifying the source has been investigated and discussed in this paper.
