Unless the person who hacked the computer was a total moron, there will be essentially no traces left. It is rather trivial to erase logs and unless you do analysis as the hacker is on the computer, finding out the originating IP is almost impossible, and unless the hacker is coming directly from his own machine (as opposed to tunneling through someone else's), having it is just as useless. It is entirely possible that your friend's computer was hacked automatically by a series of programs and not a live human.

It is not that old programmers are any smarter or code better, it is just that they have made the same stupid mistake so many times that it is second nature to fix it.
