Hey everybody!
this is my first post here )
I'm a CS student and I want to work, in the future, in the CF field.
Currently I have to choose a thesis argument, but up to now I have few ideas…I'm employed in a company which works in the telephony&networking field and I have to find an argument which have to be interesting even for the my company, otherwise is will become hard for me to work on that thesis during my office activities…and of course I want to find something related to the CF…..
So I want to ask if someone has some ideas about an argument which will become my thesis work )
Thanks in advance!
-As a private practitioner at what point when working on a computer does what you are doing become snooping. What is the impact of that on using what you discovered as evidence when turned over to LE?
-As a private practitioner what are your responsibilities to report what you stumble across & how do you handle that. What is the impact of that on using what you discovered as evidence when turned over to LE?
-As a private practitioner how do you feel about and handle laws that require you to report suspicious activity? If you are wrong about what you report and the client comes back and sues you what is your defense?
There are plenty of issues that impact private companies when it comes to dealing with LE.
ok I have realized now I have not explained clearly what I mean, sorry (I have written this post in 4 minutes ) )…
I'm thinking about something to develop related both with the phone (pbx, etc..) world and the CF field….something for example a tool for network CF which can be used for "sniffing" voip communications or something different…
anyway thanks a lot for you reply BitHead!
I misunderstood, I thought you had to write a paper when you actually need to write some code.
There are already quite a few tools that can be used to sniff VoIP. I'll have to put on my thinking cap regarding some PBX CF tools.
On one hand, as far as I know, there are few interesting information in a PBX, in the sense that there are only the setup (phone numbers, etc..) saved on a flash card…
I understand that all the information are "interesting", but a safe copy of these info can be requested to the technician ho make the setup, making a "recovery tool" or something similar useless..isn't it? ?
I guess that is part of the question. What is saved on the CF card? What can be gleaned from the PBX? We have an NEC PBX that has an associated voice mail module that stores the messages as WAV files, but the tech told me only they have the tools to interface with the VM system. I wanted to call BS, but do not have the time to spend investigating my own VM system. Is the system really proprietary? Is it encrypted? Is there some way to interface with the system?
If you took a few of the systems you support and wrote on those systems it would be more information than what exists currently.
