Collecting evidence from large-scale heterogeneous virtual computing infrastructures using Website Capture.

Collecting evidence using Website Capture
tools and techniques enables law enforcement agencies
and independent investigators to investigate crimes that
are committed over the Internet or through the use of
the World Wide Web, even when the suspect is hiding
behind large scale heterogeneous virtual computing infrastructures. These crimes range from theft and fraud to the more extreme crimes of paedophilia, terrorist propaganda and corporate warfare. The paper offers a critique on how Website Capture is applied and the methods required for successful and valid capture and analysis of live digital evidence. We explore the different types of tools required to conduct Website Capture, why they are required and the procedure to successfully conduct Website Capture.
