Moreover, the frequently occurring international frauds impose the necessity to conduct the investigation of facts spanning across multiple international borders. Such examination is often subject to different jurisdictions and legal systems. A good illustration of the above being the Internet, which has made it easier to perpetrate traditional crimes. It has acted as an alternate avenue for the criminals to conduct their activities, and launch attacks with relative anonymity. The increased complexity of the communications and the networking infrastructure is making investigation of the crimes difficult. Traces of illegal digital activities are often buried in large volumes of data, which are hard to inspect with the aim of detecting offences and collecting evidence. Nowadays, the digital crime scene functions like any other network, with dedicated administrators functioning as the first responders.

This poses new challenges for law enforcement policies and forces the computer societies to utilize digital forensics to combat the increasing number of cybercrimes. Forensic professionals must be fully prepared in order to be able to provide court admissible evidence. To make these goals achievable, forensic techniques should keep pace with new technologies.

The aim of this workshop is to bring together the research accomplishments provided by the researchers from academia and the industry. The other goal is to show the latest research results in the field of digital forensics and to present the development of tools and techniques which assist the investigation process of potentially illegal cyber activity. We encourage prospective authors to submit related distinguished research papers on the subject of both: theoretical approaches and practical case reviews.

The workshop is an interesting supplement for ICUMT 2012 in area of security of communication networks. It is especially important because year 2011 has been named by mass media "the year of the hack" due to numerous accounts of data security breaches in private companies and governments. The amount of stolen data is estimated in petabytes. Large amount of the damage can be attributed to Operation Shady RAT or Duqu worm which is a successor of famous Stuxnet malware.

This year's workshop's main theme is network forensics.

Topics of interests include, but are not limited to:

Cyber crimes: design and detection

Cyber crime related investigations

Digital forensics tools and applications

Digital forensics case studies and best practices

Formal standards, procedures and methods in digital forensics

Privacy issues in digital forensics

Steganography/steganalysis and covert/subliminal channels

Network anomalies detection

Novel applications of information hiding in networks

Information hiding for multimedia services

New methods for detecting and eliminating network steganography

Localization of digital forensic techniques
