Task 2: Case Project
Complete the Hands-on Project 5-2 from your textbook (Nelson, Phillips, & Steuart, 6th edition, 2019, p. 260-261). Inthis project you will explore the MFT and learn howto locate time and date values in the metadata of a file you create during this project.
Deliverable: Writea 500-1000 wordspaper after completing this project andreportwhat metadata you have discovered from the file you analysed using WinHex editor. Provide screen shots of the steps completed in the project showing the results of date and time values you have recorded. Briefly describe the main steps that you think are necessary and important to locate date and time values while analysing the file.
Task 3: Research Project
You have been assigned a digital forensics case to investigate involving a potential monetary fraud in an organisation. The CTO of the organisation has given you access to the workstation and other necessary hardware, e.g. USB, of one of his employees who she thinks is potentially involved in this fraud. Your job as a digital forensics examiner is to conduct this investigation. Youare required to createa (investigation) plan and describe the standard practice procedure that is used in such investigations. Your plan must include the procedures for collecting the digital data, securing the evidence that you may collect and then describing the method to validate the collected data, e.g. calculating hash values and specifying the hash algorithm that you intendto use, e.g. SHA-3, MD5 etc. You can make some reasonable assumptions if required when describing your plan / procedures.
