I'm currently studying Forensic Computing at UCLan (in my third year). I'm doing a requirement elicitation for my project and wondered if you could help?
My project is "hacking" into a honeypot and altering the log files to pretend I wasn't there.
Could anyone think how this would benefit a forensic investigator?
Thanks!

First, unless one is authorized by an organization to do penetration testing for their network one was "hacking," it would be illegal and unethical.
The reason it would help a forensic investigator is that the types of modifications made during this process would teach the investigator what to look for.

Thank you for your response.
I intend to create the honeypot myself on a virtual network, so it will be ethical.
Thanks
