This week, you need to design a CASE for other student to investigate. As an example; at the end of this week you should generate the following materials:

you need to design a CASE

Computer forensics, investigation

Answer should be original, and similarity (plagiarism) not more than 10% this is extremely serious.

Answer should be a clear explanation and should be clear and understand (1000 words, references not included).

Answer should be references on Harvard style (Not use Wikipedia) should be Academic Articles or books.

When use citation from any reference please keep it between “citation” (Author, Year), please citation should be not more than 5%

As reference you can use the following book:

Project Description

This week, you need to design a CASE for other student to investigate. As an example; at the end of this week you should generate the following materials:

1. A case description. Describe what kind of suspect you have, and what kind of potential criminal activities the suspect may have committed. Compile these into an MS Word Document.
2. Generate some potential files (you may delete or overwrite, etc.) on a small size USB memory stick (the image could be huge if you use a big USB memory stick). Use some tools discussed in the VirtualTools message to make a bit-by-bit image of your image. Though you can delete and do any kind of activities, it is important that you should have some traces for other students to find the evidence on your image next week.

Compile your document for item 1 and the files generated for item 2 into a single zip file.

For your reference, you may follow the styles listed by Carrier (2010) for your case image generation. Since laptops do not come with a floppy drive anymore, you may work on a virtual drive (that is, for all software based images).

At the end of this week, you should submit the materials to the hand-in-assignment folder. In addition, please post your items 1 and 2 to the Discussion Forum for week 5 seminar, and mark the subject line as “Your_Name’s case for investigation”. In week 5, other students are required to find the evidence for your case, and you are required to find evidence for images supplied by other students.

Your item 3 is used to evaluate other students’ project findings at the end of week 5 (by me). But please also post your item 3 (the solution) in week 5 folder at the end of week 5 (that is, around Thursday of next week)

Please post item 2 and item 3 to the following project submission link.
