Study Notes
Online Investigation Internet
- The Internet is a worldwide system of computer networks, also known as "the Net."
- It's a network of networks where users can get information from any other computer.
World Wide Web
- The World Wide Web (WWW or W3) refers to all public websites or pages accessible on the internet.
- These pages are interconnected by hyperlinks, providing information in different formats (text, images, audio, and video).
IP Address
- An IP address is a unique number assigned to a device on a network.
- It's usually represented as four sets of numbers separated by a dot (e.g., 10.0.0.1).
- Each number can range from 0 to 255, with 0 and 255 sometimes having special meanings.
- Every device on a network must have a unique IP address.
IPv4 and IPv6
- IPv4 is the current internet protocol used by most devices.
- The internet is transitioning to IPv6 over the next ten years.
Static vs Dynamic IP Address
- A static IP address is assigned manually to each device on a network.
- Dynamic IP addresses are assigned using DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol), which reduces errors and maintenance.
DHCP
- DHCP is a protocol that assigns a unique IP address to each device on a network.
- When a device connects to the network, it sends a DHCP discovery packet, and the router assigns an IP address.
Wi-Fi
- Wi-Fi is a wireless networking technology that uses radio waves to provide wireless high-speed internet access.
Documents as Evidence
- Documents consist of writing or material containing letters, words, numbers, figures, symbols, or other modes of written expression.
- The best evidence rule states that the original document must be produced in court, except in certain cases.
Online Investigation
- Investigation involves gathering evidence to aid in solving a case.
- Cyber security awareness is crucial to protect oneself online.
Cyber Security Awareness
- Protect yourself first by using secured computer systems, passwords, anti-virus software, firewalls, and VPNs.
- Be aware of risks, such as malware, phishing links, and equipment compromise.
Social Media Investigation
- Minimize risks by using dedicated computers and internet connections.
- Use investigation tools and software, following protocols and avoiding laws violation.
- Document everything properly.
What Can be Investigated
- Online accounts, photos, videos, comments, likes, shares, emails, and other online activities can be investigated.
Maximizing and Utilizing Search Engines
- The Internet Archive (Wayback Machine) is a dedicated cache search engine that stores data for faster access.
- Use the cache to reduce your footprint and access older versions of web pages.
Tools for Reverse Image
- Google Images, TinEye, Yandex Images, and Bing Image Match are tools used for reverse image searching.
- Metadata helps summarize data and includes information such as creation means, time, purpose, author, location, and file size.
Geolocating Images
- Extract, research, and verify image metadata to geolocate images.
