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

该提案旨在在马萨诸塞州洛厄尔大学建立一个网络取证实验室。该建议的研究和教育基础设施包括网络设备，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。所要求的基础设施将支持三个项目，重点是网络取证：（1）跟踪匿名罪犯在互联网上（2）定位和锁定匿名恶意无线移动（3）指纹无线移动取证目的这些项目将解决的问题是至关重要的国家？它将培养工业公司和研究实验室需要的学生。拟议中的研究还将使麻省大学洛厄尔分校成为网络取证研究和教育的领导者。本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，并将为在麻省大学洛厄尔分校开发网络取证和数据恢复与分析新课程创造机会。(ii)拟议的基础设施还将加强麻省大学洛厄尔分校、区域安全行业和其他麻省大学校园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.
