Abstract:

This paper describes a digital forensic model for investigating computer networks, focusing specifically on network log mining. A thorough examination of log files is needed to reveal the hidden actions of criminals in computer networks. The proposed model specifies the steps that forensic investigators can follow with regard to the extraction and examination of digital evidence from log files for use in legal proceedings.
