Part 1
Forensic Challenge – Who done it?
Recently, there has been a merger between Bob’s Widgets and Sam’s Widgets resulting in a new
company being formed named New Widgets. During the transition process, several large database
applications have been retired and are no longer in use. Since this merger, the Network Operations
Center has noticed that between midnight and 6am every night there is higher than normal traffic level
on the Sam’s Widgets servers located offshore in Ireland data centers since the merger.
The Network Administrator, Steve Wolcomb, has been with Bob’s Widgets since its inception and has
always provided great service to his internal customers. He rarely takes a vacation and is always
available to help out, especially when there is been suspected data breaches in the past.
Steve, is a good employee, but sometimes head strong and unyielding when it comes to the services and
applications that he supports and users sometimes frustrate him with their requests.
Steve has never been onboard with the merger with Bob’s Widgets, as the were the main competition
from day one and lately he seems disconnected from his work and appears to be using headphones and
hiding his screen should anyone pass his cubicle.
As a forensic investigator, you have been called in by the finance manager to determine what is going on
with the late night network spikes as the only one that manages the network is Steve. The sharp
increase in bandwidth costs has brought this concern to the finance manager’s attention.
1. What approach should you take to investigate?
2. List any tools that you would use.
3. Understanding the structure of the stretched IT admin team, what considerations and/or
precautions should you be aware of?
4. Layout a plan that allow you to investigate without Steve’s knowledge and who else would you
require to support you in this process.
5. Which, if any international laws would apply to accessing these servers?
6. What do you think is going on here?
