...THE TECH-SLACKY HOWTO Author: Santiago Romero http://www.escomposlinux.org/sromero/linux/pringao/techslacky-howto.html Translation: Javier Malonda (supervised by Antonio and Sinner from the Prairy) 30 de mayo de 2002 1. Introduction Welcome to the tech slacky-Howto! The present document is a practical guide to demonstrate the following universal truths: Windows is easy to install (even a child could do it); it’s just about clicking OK. Windows is easy to use (even a child could do it); you don’t need to know anything to start using windows. Windows can perform advanced tasks even if the user doesn’t know a word about computing; you don’t need to know what RAM is or how a computer works. Windows can be learned in a few minutes. It’s plug and play! Thanks to Windows, computers are now easy to use and this is why there’s a computer at each home. People wouldn’t be able to use computers if it weren’t for Windows. To demonstrate all the preceeding premises we will need the help of two special collaborators: Johnny Smartass (myself), an adorable 16 year old youngster son of the woman living at 1354 Evergreen Terrace, next house to... Ralph Jones, our just graduated in Computing Sciende after hard working years, GNU/Linux user and Free Software defender. 2. Required ingredients for the tech slacky-Howto In order to verify the premises exposed before we will need: A user who never owned a Personal Computer (Johnny Smartass in our example). A user with computing knowledge...

...Computer Intrusion Forensics Research Paper Nathan Balon Ronald Stovall Thomas Scaria CIS 544 Abstract The need for computer intrusion forensics arises from the alarming increase in the number of computer crimes that are committed annually. After a computer system has been breached and an intrusion has been detected, there is a need for a computer forensics investigation to follow. Computer forensics is used to bring to justice, those responsible for conducting attacks on computer systems throughout the world. Because of this the law must be follow precisely when conducting a forensics investigation. It is not enough to simple know an attacker is responsible for the crime, the forensics investigation must be carried out in a precise manner that will produce evidence that is amicable in a court room. For computer intrusion forensics many methodologies have been designed to be used when conducting an investigation. A computer forensics investigator also needs certain skills to conduct the investigation. Along with this, the computer forensics investigator must be equipped with an array of software tools. With the birth of the Internet and networks, the computer intrusion has never been as significant as it is now. There are different preventive measures available, such as access control and authentication, to attempt to prevent intruders. Intrusion detection systems (IDS) are developed to detect an intrusion as it occurs, and to execute countermeasures when detected...
