IMPORTANCE OF NETWORK DEVICES AND THEIR SECURE CONFIGURATIONS AT DIGITAL FORENSICS

Abstract

Network forensics is the capture, recording, and analysis of network events in order to discover the source of security attacks or other problem incidents. Network forensics is a sub-branch of digital forensics. Network device forensics is also a sub-branch of network digital forensics. Forensic IT applications and examination of suspicious users` personal computers to be copied to all of the data alone is not sufficient for the determination of guilt or innocence. Users before the event and during the event is logged on the network traffic to be carried out is important. These records are necessary to preserve the security measures on the network devices, the devices required by the user on the network can not use, the internet user`s IP address and MAC address of the output to be significant, the user attempts to disrupt the functioning of the network is very important in minimizing. Users, network devices must not interfere with the records. In this study, as well as to facilitate network forensics investigations on network devices to improve network security configuration settings to be discussed.
