What is the primary purpose of a network forensic report?

To serve as a backup of the evidence

To provide a list of all network devices

To document the findings and conclusions of the investigation

To recommend new security software

What is the primary purpose of network forensics in a digital investigation?

To capture, record, and analyze network traffic to investigate security incidents

To monitor network performance and optimize bandwidth usage

To prevent unauthorized access by configuring firewall rules

To encrypt all data transmitted over the network

A forensic investigator is analyzing a PCAP file that contains a man-in-the-middle attack against an internal user. The PCAP shows an ARP spoofing sequence followed by an HTTP login request. Which packet-level evidence would most directly confirm that the attacker successfully intercepted the login credentials?

The DNS query for the login server's hostname

The TCP handshake between the user and the attacker

The ARP replies showing the attacker's MAC address mapped to the gateway IP

The HTTP request containing the login form data in plaintext
