• COSC 429: Digital Forensics

  3.00 Credits

  Indiana University of Pennsylvania-Main Campus

  
  Takes a detailed, hands-on approach to the use of computer technology in investigating computer crime. From network security breaches to child pornography, the common bridge is the demonstration that particular electronic media contains incriminating evidence. Using modern forensic tools and techniques, students learn how to conduct a structured investigative process to determine exactly what happened and who was responsible, and to perform this investigation in such a way that the results are useful in criminal proceedings. Real-world case studies are used to provide a better understanding of security issues. Unique forensics issues associated with various operating systems including Linux/Windows operating systems and associated applications are covered.
