How do forensic investigators analyze packet data to uncover evidence or identify malicious activities within a network?
Forensic investigators analyze packet data by capturing packets using network monitoring tools, examining packet headers and payloads to identify communication patterns, protocols, and data content. They look for anomalies, suspicious behavior, or known signatures of malicious activities. This analysis helps reconstruct network events, identify sources of attacks, and gather evidence for legal proceedings. Deep packet inspection, network forensics tools, and expertise in networking protocols are commonly used in this process.
