>> Computer forensics

Computer forensics is one of the key focus areas of CISC. The first computer forensics
research project in CISC is DESK (Digital Evidence Search Kit), a computer forensic
software that is designed to assist law enforcement agencies to examine, acquire,
analyze, search and document the digital evidence of a computer system. DESK is
developed in collaboration with the Hong Kong Police. In 2006, CISC developed the
software BTM (also called Lineament ) to monitor and detect potential Internet piracy
for Customs & Excise Department, HKSAR.

Besides tools development, CISC has a team of computer forensics researchers to perform
basic and applied research in computer forensics. The computer forensics research team
consists of 5 PhD students, 1 full time research staff, 2 full time engineers and 1 part-time
engineer. Every year, some final year students select computer forensics project as their
final year project, such as buffer-overflow attack, spyware implementation, BitTorrent analyzer,etc.
