II-New: A Network Forensics Lab for Integrated Research and Education at University of Massachusetts Lowell

这项提议旨在马萨诸塞大学洛厄尔分校建立一个网络取证实验室。这一拟议的研究和教育基础设施由网络设备组成，例如网络分析仪、思科路由器、频谱分析仪以及用于收集和分析有线和无线数据的软件。申请的基础设施将支持三个专注于网络取证的项目：(1)追踪互联网上的匿名罪犯(2)本地化和锁定匿名恶意无线手机(3)用于取证目的的无线手机指纹识别这些项目将解决对国家安全至关重要的问题-S，并将培训将被工业公司和研究实验室寻找的学生。这项拟议的研究还将使UMassLowell跻身网络取证研究和教育领域的领导者之列。这项提案中的三个项目具有以下更广泛的影响：(I)拟议的基础设施将加强网络取证的研究和教育，并将为在马萨诸塞州洛厄尔大学开发关于网络取证和数据恢复与分析的新课程创造机会。(2)拟议的基础设施还将加强马萨诸塞州大学洛厄尔分校、区域安全行业和马萨诸塞州大学其他校区之间已经存在的合作。

This proposal aims to establish a network forensics lab at University of Massachusetts Lowell. This proposed research and education infrastructure consists of network devices, such as network analyzers, Cisco routers, spectrum analyzer, and software for collecting and analyzing wired and wireless data. The requested infrastructure will support three projects focusing on network forensics: (1) Tracing Anonymous Criminals on the Internet (2) Localizing and Locking Anonymous Malicious Wireless Mobiles (3) Fingerprinting Wireless Mobiles for Forensics Purpose These projects will address issues that are critical to the nation?s security and will train students who will be sought out by industrial companies and research laboratories. The proposed research will also position UMass Lowell among the leaders in network forensics research and education. The three projects in this proposal have the following broader impact: (i) The proposed infrastructure will enhance the research and education of network forensics, and will create an opportunity for developing new courses on network forensics and data recovery and analysis in UMass Lowell. (ii) The proposed infrastructure will also enhance the collaborations that already exist between UMass Lowell, regional security industry, and the other UMass campuses.
