Abstract

The aim of this work was to probe a Linux server and then to identify the digital footprint left behind. This investigation focuses mainly on passive attacks using Linux BackTrack5 tools, including Metasploit, Nessus, Whatweb, Nmap, PHP-Backdoor and Weevely. These are commonly used tools which can determine the security flaws and vulnerabilities present that could be exploited. The results of the forensic evidence collection will then be analysed to determine how to identify passive attacks in the future.
