Forensics

Catalog description

In the first couple weeks students study computer forensics, do a recovery, and image a drive and manipulate it. Then Forensics provides a comprehensive understanding of network forensic analysis. Within the context of forensics security, a student will be introduced to methodology and will examine the fundamentals of topologies, protocols, and applications required to conduct forensic analysis in a network environment. Labs will entail performing basic network data acquisition and analysis using computer and network-based applications and utilities. Students will employ the applications and capabilities of incident prevention, detection, and response and will practice accurately documenting forensic procedures. Students will do some scripting.
