Students with a digital forensics background will also benefit from the materials presented and the online discussions.
Students will need a computer with full access to its storage devices. Students should also be familiar with, and true believers in, backing up their storage devices. The tools we will be investigating permit modifying storage devices and memory at a bit and byte level, without an undo feature. It is recommended that students have several USB thumb drives; they do not need to have a large capacity. The text comes with a DVD so students' computers will also need a CD/DVD drive with CD read/write capability.
