The Trouble With Torrents: File Sharing Child Porn Cases (2015)
CLE Credit: up to .75 hours of self-study CLE credits, where authorized. Please confirm with your state's CLE commission to ensure this program is available for self-study CLE certification.
Program Summary: The most popular resource for the criminal acquisition and distribution of images and video of child pornography is peer-to-peer (p2p) networks, including BitTorrent, eMule, and Gnutella. Law enforcement have both an easy and difficult time policing these networks. The value of evidence is the critical difference between forensics and related security research in incident response and privacy; moreover, methods and legal procedures for collecting data differentiate network forensics from simple network measurement.
