Computer Forensics with Lab

This course will introduce students to current methods and techniques in computer forensics with a focus on the appropriate procedures for evidence collection and processing. As electronic information increases in its importance and use in the court of law, future investigators need to be able to collect and analyze forensics data from computer systems in support of incident investigations, including e-Discovery, forensic analysis and reporting, evidence acquisition, Internet browser forensics and tracing user and application activities on computing systems. The course is supplemented by hands-on exercises, case studies, and a final culminating assignment. Prerequisites: Required ICT 4605 (unless prior ISS experience), Recommended ICT 4610.
