Study of Peer-to-Peer Network Based Cybercrime Investigation: Application on Botnet Technologies
Congratulations to Mark Scanlon on the PhD thesis titled Study of Peer-to-Peer Network Based Cybercrime Investigation: Application on Botnet Technologies.
AI-generated summary of the contribution: This research investigates peer-to-peer network based cybercrime, focusing on botnet technologies and the exploitation of P2P protocols by criminals for various cybercrimes. The Universal P2P Network Investigation Framework is introduced, enabling faster and less labor-intensive investigations of newly discovered P2P networks. A proof of concept tool was developed for investigating the BitTorrent network, demonstrating the framework’s potential in digital forensics and cybersecurity, with applications in copyright infringement and malware propagation investigations.
