Digitally connected societies can take advantage of extensive benefits. For example, 24-hour banking, personalised entertainment, live travel information, instant global communications and so much more. However, most digital interactions and transactions leave a digital footprint, trail or artefact that can serve as evidence in corporate and criminal investigation scenarios.
This module provides an introductory insight into digital forensics in both criminal and corporate case settings. Indicative topics include A history of cyber-crime and digital forensics, code of conduct, processes, procedures, expert witness testimony; securing evidence, preserving the scene and chain of custody; acquisition, examination, analysis, and reporting; storage, network, operating system, application, website, and web browser forensics; hexadecimal, binary, octal and decimal conversions; hex editors, Python, Autopsy; digital signatures, data carving; anti-forensic techniques (e.g., steganography, cryptography).
