Task # 1: Hands-on Practical Projects (5 Marks)
Complete the following hands-on projects from the textbook (Guide to Computer Forensics and
Investigations, 6/e, Nelson, Phillips, & Steuart, 2019)
1. Hands-on Project 1-3, Forensic Examination of Digital Media
Deliverables: Include screen shots of the hands-on project in your assessment and insert
C1Prj03 in your assignment as well. Also, provide a short summary (up to 1 page) of your
findings from this project. This summary should include your reflection on findings as well. For
example, you may write as a reflection that after your investigations you could not find (or you may
have found) any evidence that the former employee was involved in taking the company
proprietary photographs with him.
With the screen shots of your working, show/include your i2 login and/or username at least in one
of the screen shots as a proof of your own work.
2. Hands-on Project 4-3, Examining M57 Patent Case
Deliverables: In this project you are examining 'Terry's work USB' to find if Terry has been
involved in anything illicit or against company policy. While your main focus will be
investigating for any images in the USB, you also should look if there is any other suspicious
material / activity record on the USB. Write a report with the investigation screen shots and
explaining the importance of the files you examined and how might they affect the patent case.
While providing screen shots of your working, include a short description about the
information that is given in the screen shot. For example, if you did a key word search to find
any images in the USB and you got results, describe what was your search term? What did you find
as a search result? With the screen shots of your working, show/include your i2 login and/ or
username at least in one of the screen shots as a proof of your own work.
