IDS Logs in Forensics Investigations: An Analysis of a Compromised
Honeypot
by Alan Neville

This paper will deconstruct the steps taken to conduct a full analysis of
a compromised machine. In particular, we will be examining the tool that
was used to exploit a dtspcd buffer overflow vulnerability, which allows
remote root access to the system. The objective of this paper is to show
the value of IDS logs in conducting forensics investigations.
