Overview
 CASE STUDY
An actual NYPD criminal case helped motivate this work.
A person, let's say Sam, was contacted on a Social Network, and decided
to go to meet this other person. The other person's intent was to rob Sam.
In attempt to escape, Sam ran into the street and killed by on-coming
traffic. This then became a homicide case.
 SOLUTION
Developed security software tools, which can be used within Social
Networks, to help in tracking down criminals.
 OBJECTIVES
Retrieve user’s non-personal-identifiable data, during users
Contact via the following Virtual environments:




Social Network Sites
Chat Sessions
E-mail

Social Network Site
Data Retrieval
 PHP Scripted Web Site: http://www.virtualforensics.net/track.php
 Tracks the visitors to website
 Can be integrated for use in tracking Social Network Site visitors.
 Captures information of visited users
 Stores retrieved user data to database
 Appends retrieved user data to website for on-screen view
 Social Network Tracking – SETUP PROCESS
 Place the data retrieval PHP web link, into an image
source tag syntax
<img src="http://www.virtualforensics.net/track.php"
border="0" style="visibility:hidden;" />
 Place above source tag into “Headline” section of your
MySpace or FaceBook:

Social Network Site (cont.)
Data Retrieval
 The captured user data is stored to a database, and appended to list
of visitors already in database.
 All tracked visitor information is then retrieved from the database logs,
and displayed to following link for on-screen viewing:
http://www.virtualforensics.net/
 Listing of Social Network Site user’s retrieved data:
Visitor entry from database, for viewing on web

Social Network Site
Detection of Device Type
 PHP Scripted Web Site:
http://www.virtualforensics.net/mobiledetect/detect.php
 Detects the type of device used to login (PC, Mobile, etc)

Detection of Mobile Device Model
 PHP Scripted Web Site:
http://www.virtualforensics.net/mobiledetect/detectmobile.php
 Detects the Mobile Model (Blackberry, I-Phone, etc)

Java Applet
MAC Address Retrieval
 MAC address
 If assigned by the manufacturer, a MAC address (Media Access Control
address ) encodes the manufacturer's registered identification number
Display of retrieved user’s MAC address retrieved

IM Chat Session
Data Retrieval
 NetStat
 Is a command which retrieves other person’s IP address & MAC address of
person you are chatting with.
 MS-DOS prompt type the following command and press enter: NetStat –n 3
IP address of Local Machine and Foreign Machine

Data Retrieval

IP address on the left hand side, 172.22.45.77 (see Figure 1) represents your IP
address. The IP address on the right hand side, 172.22.47.248 (see Figure 1)
represents the IP address of foreign machine. The 4 digit value following each IP
address represents the port to which it is connected to.

You can connect to the foreign IP address by typing the following command. From
the MS-DOS prompt type the following command: C:\>nbtstat -A 172.22.47.248
the output

Data Retrieval

On figure from previous slide (slide 10), the 172.22.47.248 represents
the foreign machine’s IP address.

This entered command will output the values of:
o Node
o IP address
o NetBIOS
o Remote Machine Table
o MAC address of Foreign Machine

E-Mail
Data Retrieval
 Retrieve email sender’s IP address, by following below steps.
Within a yahoo email account do as follows:
 Go to inbox
 Open your email
 Click the drop down for Standard Header (see figure 3)
 Click Full Header from the Standard Header’s drop down
(figure 3 on next slide)
 Dialog box with the IP information appears
RESULTS:
The sender’s IP address will appear in dialogue box.
