AlixerParticipant
Thank you Doris, I appreciate the advice of caution on getting involved, since I quite often just step in to help without thinking of all the ramifications involved. I also appreciate your help on this issue, too.
I am not giving up yet, though. Does anyone know what the files in IE’s Temporary Internet Files folder with the last part of a very long name having the signon name as part of the name would be? Does the existance of these files prove that there was a successful signon as that signon name or maybe it is there even if it was only an attempted signon?AlixerParticipantI believe that what I saw were Session Cookies with the signon name in question as part of the file name. All I have at the moment are the screen shots of explorer showing the contents listed of the files in the Temporary Internet files folder. The hard drive has a few damaged sectors and has been removed from the laptop to be returned for a replacement. This laptop that was used by this accused user was a college laptop, property of the college. We are currently working with the college’s IT Department to locate this “lost” hard drive, because someone in their department set it aside because of this issue of an accusation of inappropriate things said to a minor. The accused attends this college for further training and pursuing higher degrees, but works as a teacher in another school. Not sure if you need all that, but question is, can there be files in the Temp Internet Files folder with the signon name in question as part of the file name and this laptop have never been used to communicate with the victim as that user?
AlixerParticipantNo, this person is not facing legal ramifications with the State or Federal authorities. Another things is that there is already enough circumstantial information, I just found out, that would indicate that he could not have been using the particular signon name and conversing since he was not using a PC or phone at the time. But there are a few cookies on his PC that the file name ends with this signon name, so the people involved believe that he did what he is accused of. This person is a teacher and on leave until this matter is settled. Just the circumstantial evidence that he could not have been a part of the 3 conversations (for which he is in trouble for, nothing else) that were recorded on the victim’s PC, because he was entertaining friends at the time with his wife present, or at work with a phone that could not have AIM on it and no access to a PC there, should be enough, but not so. The fact that a few files in his Temporary Internet files folder has this perpitrator’s signon name in the last part of the file name seems to outway the fact the circumstantial evidence proves the case for him. Can there be a file name with the signon name as part of the file name, but not have been able to authenticate? He did try to signin as this user. So, since he has tried to authenticate as the signon name to determine who is framing him, could this file be there from those attempts?
AlixerParticipantActually, someone has asked me to prove that he did not use a certain username, because he is being accused of inpropriety as a certain signon name. I told this person that I would look at it, but I told him that if I find evidence of the inpropriaty that he is accused of, then I will bring it to the authorities. He is insistant that he did not do what he is accused of, so I need to know what to look for. Is it a cookie, or ini file… please help me figure out what I am looking for. I also plan on using a file finder to find any files that he may have deleted. But still, I need to know, exactly, what am I looking for?
