This introductory seminar on computer forensics is being offered through the 2011 year at no cost - EdCC is the only college in the state offering this seminar. All are invited to participate, and you do not need to be a current student of EdCC. This seminar is popular and seats will go fast - we regularly have students who have traveled from out of state in attendance. This seminar is designed for anyone interested in learning more about computer forensics/forensic computing. One does not need to be working in an information technology related field to attend. The focus for this one-of-a-kind course will be the various aspects of computer forensics, and what working in this exciting field actually entails. You'll be taken through an actual computer forensics case as seen through the eyes of an expert, and you will become conversant in computer forensics terminology as well as gaining an understanding of what computer forensics experts actually do. As many computer forensics cases now involve Internet technologies, we will also be discussing some items that are normally overlooked as well as misinterpreted by many experts.

Topics Include: Data storage, hard drives and media Sources of data and evidence Forensics in a networked environment Computer forensics procedures - methods to start an analysis and investigation Computer forensics experts - becoming one Locating and extracting evidence from the Windows Registry Locating and extracting evidence related to Internet activity Locating and extracting evidence related to email activity Employment outlook Preparing to testify
