Assignment
1) A cyber crime is a crime that involves a computer and the Internet. A forensics investigation involves gathering and preserving evidence in a way that is suitable for presentation in a court of law. Use the library to research any recent (within the past 12 months), real-world cyber crime. Discuss each of the following scenarios:
• What was the cyber crime? Who or what did the cyber crime affect?
• How did the cyber crime occur?
• In your opinion, how could the cyber crime have been avoided?
• How would you conduct the forensics investigation for this cyber crime?
Use and list at least 2 sources to support your response to the question. You may use the textbook as a resource. Be sure to use APA formatting for all references.
Responses to Other Students: Respond to at least 2 of your fellow classmates with at least a 100-word reply about their Primary Task Response regarding items you found to be compelling and enlightening. To help you with your discussion, please consider the following questions:
• What did you learn from your classmate's posting?
• What additional questions do you have after reading the posting?
• What clarification do you need regarding the posting?
• What differences or similarities do you see between your posting and other classmates' postings?
2) Antiforensic techniques make proper forensic investigations more difficult. Antiforensic techniques are deliberate and can reduce the quantity and quality of digital evidence. Antiforensic techniques can also be used to increase security. Use the library to research antiforensic techniques, and discuss the following:
• What are at least 3 examples of antiforensic techniques, and how are they used?
• Discuss how antiforensic techniques affect computer forensics, file recovery, and security.
Use and list at least 2 sources to support your response to the question. You may use the textbook as a resource. Be sure to use APA formatting for all references.
3) Review and reflect on the knowledge you have gained from this course. Based on your review and reflection, write at least 3 paragraphs on the following:
• What was the most valuable concept that you learned in this class that you will most likely use in your future career?
• What concept in this course provided the most insight to the technical aspects of computer forensics? Explain.
• The main post should include at least 1 reference to research sources, and all sources should be cited using APA format.
