Desarrollo de una propuesta para la implementación de un laboratorio de informática forense dentro del centro de procesamientos de datos (CPD) de la Carrera de Ingeniería de Ciencias de la Computación de la Universidad Politécnica Salesiana Campus Sur.

Abstract

The proposal of this thesis project is the implementation of a forensic computer laboratory which enables the study, analysis and investigation of different cybercrimes occurred in our society, thus providing digital evidence on judicial processes established in the “Código Integral Penal” of Ecuador. For this, a set of academic practices has been proposed, where the tools and activities to be carried out are indicated according to a situation. It is worth mentioning that computer crimes are of all kinds, however, for this work, some elements able to be developed within the laboratories of the Computer Science career have been considered, based on its software and hardware availability. Nevertheless, at the end of this work, a set of tools to be acquired is proposed in order to consolidate and strengthen the aforementioned laboratory. The CDP (Data Processing Center) has the necessary equipment to perform forensic investigations using different information analysis techniques. This helps the researcher to have a broad perspective on daily crimes. Among these crimes we can find social engineering attacks, denial of service, modification of digital content, etc. which directly or indirectly affect the victim. All these types of crimes mentioned before are analyzed in the practices in the lab and they are happening under the licensed software, some on testing version and some in free versions, this way we are able to identify the possible causes of the attacks, maintaining the integrity of the information without hurting the pure evidence that works as proof at a legal process.
