Builds on: Internet Basics (Part 1): Evolution, Service Providers and Key Concepts
Email, Web and Server Logs as Evidence
Readiness training. LEA.Training does not grant any official certificate, licence or authority.
An email, a website and a server each leave a written trail: headers, domain records and logs. Most of it is plain text, and it is easy to misread.
Focus: which lines to trust, which can be faked, and how to keep a log so that a court will accept it. This unit is general knowledge. It is not legal advice.
Learning objectives
- Read the main lines of an email header and say which ones the sender controls.
- Explain what a domain registration record shows, and why much of it is hidden.
- Describe what web-server and sign-in logs record.
- Keep a log so that its integrity can be shown.
