Abstract
There has been continuous effort by organizations to secure their information resources maintained in computer network infrastructures against security threats arising out of network related frauds. This paper presents a software agent based approach to detect such frauds and provides a means to gather relevant information about the nature of fraud that can be used for forensic analysis. A distributed agent deploy architecture has been presented to observe, gather and record data that can be used in detecting frauds. The applicability of the approach has been demonstrated for a network fraud scenario caused by the Routing Information Protocol (RIP) attack.
