CJE 6624 Lecture Notes - Lecture 1: Forensic Science, Computer Forensics, High Tech
Document Summary
Introduction to digital evidence and basic binary concepts. This course is designed to introduce you to the basic concepts, techniques, and procedures involved in the analysis of digital artifacts as they relate to forensic investigations. Basic operating system concepts will be examined to include different types of operating systems and variations among them. Much of our focus will be on windows-based filing systems as they are the most common at this time and the ones that you are most likely to encounter in the wild. The disk, file, and directory structures of major operating systems will be explored. Skills covered include logical and physical imaging of digital evidence, the application of cryptographic hash functions, protecting digital evidence, preparing and organizing evidence for analysis, and analytical techniques. Module 1 will begin by reviewing some basic concepts related to digital forensics and investigations involving digital artifacts.
