Guidelines for Assignment – Digital Forensics (Hash Functions & Digital Evidence)
OBJECTIVE & PURPOSE:
The purpose of this assignment is to introduce students to the foundations of digital forensics including the role of hash functions in preserving digital evidence and hashing functions used by local, state, and federal law enforcement agencies when conducting digital investigations.
DESCRIPTION OF ASSIGNMENT:
Your assignment will be to develop a written paper that will provide a documentation of the following steps:
1- Take a portrait picture of yourself and email it to your email address.
2- Save it to your drive as YYYYMMDD_Yourname1.jpeg
3- Make a duplicate of that picture to YYYYMMDD_Yourname2.jpeg
4- Open your saved YYYYMMDD_Yourname2.jpeg in a graphics software and change the color of only ONE pixel, save the file.
5- Go and download HashClac from https://slavasoft.com/hashcalc/
6- Install it and run it over your YYYYMMDD_Yourname1.jpeg
7- Then run it over your YYYYMMDD_Yourname2.jpeg
STEPS 1-7 are already DONE (The Results at the END of THIS Document USE IT)
8- Report side by side at least five of the hash records. These MUST include the NSA’s SHA1 and the MD5.
9- Explain what you found.
10- Now, search a bit about
Hashing Function Collision
and explain why SHA1 and MD5 are “broken” for transmission (I.e. SSL) but still valid for Digital Forensics.
