Peerless: A System for Identifying and Gathering Evidence of P2P Trafficking

The University of Massachusetts proposes to continue work to develop a forensics tool to enable law enforcement to identify users who are sharing contraband material on a peer-to-peer network. The goal is to be able to develop sufficient evidence from information accessible through the network to issue a warrant or subpoena.

This project will continue the development of a computer network forensic software tool to identify users on peer-to-peer networks that are sharing contraband. This effort seeks to produce a tool that can quickly extract the data needed from a computer network to identify a particular file, computer, or online user and produce a report that can be used to generate a warrant or subpoena.
