Abstract
- In this paper, we propose a study and development of an automated log analyzer in order to acquire critical evidence of crime and find potential suspects. We analyze several existingnetwork forensics models and propose a new model for automated log analyzer that can provide andsummarize necessary evidence. We create a prototype of the proposed model. The results of ourimplementation show that the proposed model can assist users analyze and report evidence for forensics investigation.
