  • Forensic Methods and Tools for Web Environments
    Forensic Methods and Tools for Web Environments by Michael Kent Mabey A Dissertation Presented in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Philosophy Approved November 2017 by the Graduate Supervisory Committee: Gail-Joon Ahn, Co-Chair Adam Doupé, Co-Chair Stephen S. Yau Joohyung Lee Ziming Zhao ARIZONA STATE UNIVERSITY December 2017 ABSTRACT The Web is one of the most exciting and dynamic areas of development in today’s technology. However, with such activity, innovation, and ubiquity have come a set of new challenges for digital forensic examiners, making their jobs even more difficult. For examiners to become as effective with evidence from the Web as they currently are with more traditional evidence, they need (1) methods that guide them to know how to approach this new type of evidence and (2) tools that accommodate web environments’ unique characteristics. In this dissertation, I present my research to alleviate the difficulties forensic examiners currently face with respect to evidence originating from web environments. First, I introduce a framework for web environment forensics, which elaborates on and addresses the key challenges examiners face and outlines a method for how to approach web-based evidence. Next, I describe my work to identify extensions installed on encrypted web thin clients using only a sound understanding of these systems’ inner workings and the metadata of the encrypted files. Finally, I discuss my approach to reconstructing the timeline of events on encrypted web thin clients by using service provider APIs as a proxy for directly analyzing the device. In each of these research areas, I also introduce structured formats that I customized to accommodate the unique features of the evidence sources while also facilitating tool interoperability and information sharing.

  • The SPS Google Docs and Drive 21 Day Challenge!
    Welcome to the SPS Google Docs and Drive 21 Day Challenge! There is a popular notion that it takes 21 days to create a new habit and I thought it might be fun to break up the district's introduction to Google Docs and Drive into 21 bite­sized chunks. Hence, the SPS Google Drive 21 day challenge! Look for a new (and small) Google Drive tip each day via district email for the next 21 school days. Hopefully, this approach will make trying out the new tools easier, more manageable, and maybe even a little fun. In addition to the 21 day challenge tips, you should check out these other Google Docs and Drive resources: ● Google Docs and Drive Basics,https://www.google.com/edu/training/tools/drive/level1.html ● Google Docs and Drive uses in the classroom,https://www.google.com/edu/training/tools/drive/level2.html Day 1 ­ How do I get to Google Drive? Let's start with a quick and easy tip! Like the other tools included in Google Apps for Education (Calendar, Sites, etc.), Google Drive can be quickly accessed right from your email screen. Here's how: 1. Click the "Grid" icon at the top of the screen next to your email address (or your picture if you've added one) 2. Click the icon for "Drive" 3. A new browser tab or window will open displaying your Google Drive 4. If you're using a modern web browser like Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox, you can easily switch back and forth between your Mail and your Drive just by clicking on the corresponding tabs at the top of the browser window BTW, if you want to get a good, quick overview of what Google Drive is and why you would even want to use it, take a look at these short videos.

  • The Android Platform Security Model∗
    The Android Platform Security Model∗ RENÉ MAYRHOFER, Google and Johannes Kepler University Linz JEFFREY VANDER STOEP, Google CHAD BRUBAKER, Google NICK KRALEVICH, Google Android is the most widely deployed end-user focused operating system. With its growing set of use cases encompassing communication, navigation, media consumption, entertainment, finance, health, and access to sensors, actuators, cameras, or microphones, its underlying security model needs to address a host of practical threats in a wide variety of scenarios while being useful to non-security experts. The model needs to strike a difficult balance between security, privacy, and usability for end users, assurances for app developers, and system performance under tight hardware constraints. While many of the underlying design principles have implicitly informed the overall system architecture, access control mechanisms, and mitigation techniques, the Android security model has previously not been formally published. This paper aims to both document the abstract model and discuss its implications. Based on a definition of the threat model and Android ecosystem context in which it operates, we analyze how the different security measures in past and current Android implementations work together to mitigate these threats. There are some special cases in applying the security model, and we discuss such deliberate deviations from the abstract model. CCS Concepts: • Security and privacy → Software and application security; Domain-specific security and privacy architectures; Operating systems security; • Human-centered computing → Ubiquitous and mobile devices. Additional Key Words and Phrases: Android, security, operating system, informal model 1 INTRODUCTION Android is, at the time of this writing, the most widely deployed end-user operating system.
