Computer Forensic Legal Standards and Equipment
This paper addresses an issue of increasing importance to companies in this modern era. Computer Incident Response Teams (CIRTs), network security, and intellectual property (IP) security are growing in importance and are becoming many companies’ top priority in this age of increased security conscious commerce. The topic of this document focuses on the CIRT aspect of security conscious commerce, but in a less familiar role. This less familiar role of CIRT is the function of investigations and more specifically, the role of computer forensics as part of a company’s arsenal in the war on network/resource abuse and intellectual property theft. This document is not designed to provide a specific checklist of everything that a CIRT must have, or provide expert knowledge of all laws related to the handling of evidence. It does however seek to provide the reader with some of the basic considerations and tools available to make a CIRT or corporate investigator effective in gathering, preserving and analyzing computer evidence.

Hacking Citrix Citrix is a Remote Desktop application that is becoming widely popular. It is similar to Microsoft's Terminal Services, RDP (Remote Desktop Protocol). Unlike Terminal Services, Citrixs' lines of products allow the administrator to specify
certain applications to be run on the server. This allows them to control which programs they want to allow the end user to execute. There exists an interesting gray line for the security of citrix applications due to the mixing of both
citrix technology, and microsoft technology. With an application that allows users remote access to not only published programs, but remote desktops, a serious threat arises. Microsoft Terminal Services uses RDP, whereas Citrix uses ICA
(Independent Computing Architecture).

In this paper I will be outlining how citrix works, and how to take advantage of the way citrix handles user access to programs.
