This paper will focus on the identification of the footprints that exploits leave on system logfiles and what they mean, as well as the most common traces that some recent exploits leave. It is hoped that this discussion will help to create a set of methodologies for readers to follow when conducting incident response and forensic analysis, thereby introducing readers to the world of forensic analysis using system and application log files as an evidentiary resource in place of intrusion detection systems.
