Cisco IOS (the software that runs the vast majority of Cisco
routers and all Cisco network switches) is the dominant routing
platform on the Internet and corporate networks. This widespread
distribution, as well as its architectural deficiencies, makes it a
valuable target for hackers looking to attack a corporate or
private network infrastructure. Compromised devices can disrupt
stability, introduce malicious modification, and endanger all
communication on the network. For security of the network and
investigation of attacks, in-depth analysis and diagnostics are
critical, but no book currently covers forensic analysis of Cisco
network devices in any detail.
Cisco Router and Switch Forensics is the first book devoted to
criminal attacks, incident response, data collection, and legal
testimony on the market leader in network devices, including
routers, switches, and wireless access points.
Why is this focus on network devices necessary? Because criminals
are targeting networks, and network devices require a fundamentally
different approach than the process taken with traditional
forensics. By hacking a router, an attacker can bypass a network's
firewalls, issue a denial of service (DoS) attack to disable the
network, monitor and record all outgoing and incoming traffic, or
redirect that communication anywhere they like. But capturing this
criminal activity cannot be accomplished with the tools and
techniques of traditional forensics. While forensic analysis of
computers or other traditional media typically involves immediate
shut-down of the target machine, creation of a duplicate, and
analysis of static data, this process rarely recovers live system
data. So, when an investigation focuses on live network activity,
this traditional approach obviously fails. Investigators must
recover data as it is transferred via the router or switch, because
it is destroyed when the network device is powered down. In this
case, following the traditional approach outlined in books on
general computer forensics techniques is not only insufficient, but
also essentially harmful to an investigation.
Jargon buster: A network switch is a small hardware device that
joins multiple computers together within one local area network
(LAN). A router is a more sophisticated network device that joins
multiple wired or wireless networks together.
* The only book devoted to forensic analysis of routers and
switches, focusing on the operating system that runs the vast
majority of network devices in the enterprise and on the
Internet
* Outlines the fundamental differences between router forensics and
traditional forensics, a critical distinction for responders in an
investigation targeting network activity
* Details where network forensics fits within the entire process of
an investigation, end to end, from incident response and data
collection to preparing a report and legal testimony
