ESSAY CONCLUSION + REFERENCE(S) - NETWORK FORENSICS

 Outcomes of a network forensic examination would basically involve a detailed analysis of a network which is proven to be authentic by the use of cryptographic hashes and a report involving the details of the security threat or the attack. A report would typically involve analysis of the collected data and the conclusion arrived from it as well. 

These reports and documentation would also be admissible in court as it would include evidence of the authenticity of the respective data/evidence.
