Forensic Analysis of Database System

The current scenario of Digital world is different than as it was before 5 years. Cyber Crime activities are at its high and hence IT security field has really picked up. Almost every week, you will hear at-least one report of intrusion on database of any company. IT security experts and forensic Investigators have found it very complex when attack is on any SQL server database. When the security of an SQL server database is compromised, In few case forensic investigators are unable to qualify or assess the scope of the intrusion. In such cases, they have to publicly report the damage. This is difficult not only for customers but for companies as well, who have to risk their reputation and brand image. To avoid this type of accident, the best way is to master specialized skills required to deeply investigate intrusions on SQL Server. There are many existing technologies are there to analyze and investigate the compromised SQL Server Database. In this Dissertation, I will present very effective and novel approach of Digital Forensic Investigation, which will present that how to gather and preserve database artifacts security and without any disruption. Then I will be proposing model to perform in-depth analysis to verify and analyze any database intrusions very effectively. This model will expose the activities of the intruder in database server. This model will be used to determine unauthorized data access or modification as well as to collect information required for database recovery by restoring to an earlier state.
