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, completed in 2013.
AI-generated summary of the contribution: This work contributes to the field of cybersecurity by proposing the Universal P2P Network Investigation Framework, which enables efficient investigation of newly discovered P2P networks by exploiting commonalities in P2P network functionality. The framework has the potential to facilitate digital forensic investigations and cybersecurity efforts, particularly in the context of complex and evolving P2P networks. A proof of concept tool was developed for investigating the BitTorrent network, demonstrating the framework’s potential for practical application.
