This hands-on course will involve case investigation procedures and a set of advanced tools for the imaging, forensics review and reporting processes involving Windows client platforms. The course will include use of a set of tools to analyze digitally stored case evidence on exclusively Windows 2000 – Windows XP systems.
These items of evidence are becoming increasingly important in a wide variety of administrative, civil and criminal cases, and numerous law enforcement agencies, which have trained personnel, to retrieve this evidence from computers. To increase the effective investigation and prosecution of criminals who utilize computers, it is critical for systems professionals and investigators to understand the basic concepts of information technology, computer security, evidence controls and the forensic examination of digitally stored information.
In this intensive 1 day 8-hour course, attendees will receive vital information on the processes and tools used to collect and analyze digital evidence. In addition to reviewing the typical areas where digital evidence may be located or hidden within a computer the full range of forensics tool kits will be used to extract such information.
There will be case exercises and demonstrations of several information retrieval, computer forensics assessments and forensics reporting techniques. The course will also cover a variety of issues involved in drafting forensics reports about digitally stored evidence and ultimately using such evidence in administrative or legal matters.
A comprehensive end-of-course examination will be administered and students who attend classes - complete exercises and pass the examination will be awarded a Microsoft - Client Systems Forensics Certificate.
