This hands-on introductory course provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to begin a computer-based investigation. The course begins with an overview of computer forensics and then proceeds to introduce forensics tools, concepts, and documentation of evidence/procedures. The course uses common and accepted Incident Response Policies and Procedures for previewing and securing digital evidence. Topics include: (1) Learn "What exactly are computer forensics and computer evidence?" (2) Learn basic forensic methodology: a) how to acquire the evidence without altering or damaging the original, b) how to authenticate the recovered evidence, and c) how to analyze the data without modifying it.

Advanced mobile and IoT forensics will build upon the student's basic knowledge gained from prior forensic courses by analyzing data from mobile devices and IoT devices with forensic programs used in prior courses (Magnet AXIOM) and introduce open source forensic suites such as Autopsy. Instruction in this course will introduce students to advanced mobile artifacts that relate to common data used in criminal and civil cases such as GPS and pattern of life databases and files. Students will also use mobile device emulators to test unknown apps and discover their behavior without modifying data from the original evidence source. Finally, students will process data from IoT devices and identify artifacts that could be useful to investigators while using methods to properly verify the data and accurately report their findings. Both Windows and Linux operating systems will be used for this course.

This hands-on introductory course provides students with the knowledge and skills necessary to begin a computer-based investigation. The course begins with an overview of computer forensics concepts, terminology and management of digital evidence. This is followed by the identification, collection and preservation (first responder) of computer-related and other digital evidence, digital evidence acquisition and basic forensic analysis concepts. Best practices for Incident Response Policies and Procedures for previewing and securing digital evidence are studied. The terms "computer forensics" and "computer evidence" will be explained and students will examine the following basic forensic methodology: a) how to acquire the evidence without altering or damaging the original, b) how to authenticate the recovered evidence, and c) how to analyze the data without modifying it.

The course aims to equip students with the technical skills necessary to identify, exploit and fix vulnerabilities in computer systems and networks. As a result, students would become more effective in defending their computing environments against the damaging work of hackers. While learning about the technical and legal dimensions of the hands-on tasks conducted, students get to perform penetration testing on multiple operating systems spanning Unix/LINUX and Microsoft Windows networks using ethical hacking techniques. With students working with tools like Backtrack and others, topics covered include Ethical Hacking Overview, Network & Computer Attacks, Footprinting, Social Engineering, Port Scanning, Enumeration, Linux Operating System Vulnerabilities, Hacking Web Servers, Hacking Wireless Networks and more.
