CYGR 520 - Forensic Investigation and Windows Systems

(3 credits)
Prerequisite: CYGR 500 and CRJU 555; or consent of instructor
Law enforcement, educators, legislators and businesses alike have become increasingly concerned with the high levels of victimization in the cyber domain. The cybercriminals may conceal themselves in the cyberspace, disguising their identity using proxies or unsuspecting neutral parties. Cyber offenders may be located anywhere in the world and concurrently victimize numerous individuals, government institutions and private corporations with highly leveraged efficiency leaving behind few leads and unconventional traces or evidence that police are not accustomed to recognizing or processing. This course will explore these issues and focus on specialized digital forensic investigative techniques to combat cybercrime. Students will also learn how to acquire, explore, recover and analyze the forensic evidence on the Microsoft Windows Operating System. Offered fall and spring semesters.
