For the purpose of
this Project, you are still the InfoSec Specialist for the Makestuff Company.
Consider this project a continuation of the work you performed in Project 1.
With the scenario in
mind, thoroughly answer the following questions (in paragraph
format, properly citing outside research, where appropriate):
1.
What permissions/authorities should you have before you search Mr. Yourprop’s
former Company work area, and how would you document that authority?
2.
(Looking at the photo of Mr. Yourprop’s work area, provided for Project 2 in
the Course Content area) Identify three (3) potential items of digital evidence you
see in the photo. For EACH item of digital evidence you identified,
explain what potential use that item would be to your investigation (e.g., what
type of data that item might hold) AND how you would collect that item as
evidence (with emphasis on your care and handling of that item consistent with
digital forensic best practices described in your textbook).
3.
(Looking at the photo of Mr. Yourprop’s work area, provided for Project 2 in
the Course Content area) Identify three (3) potential items of non-digital evidence you
see in the photo. For EACH item of non-digital evidence you identified,
explain what potential use that item would be to your investigation AND how you
would collect that item as evidence.
4.
(Looking at the Evidence Custody Document and item photographs, provided for
Project 2 in the Course Content area) Read the Evidence Custody Document
prepared by one of your co-workers, in which he is attempting to seize the
three items pictured in the accompanying photos. Did your co-worker
adequately describe each item? What could you add to the descriptions, and for
which items (based on what you see in the photos), to make them more complete
and serve as an example to your co-worker of what they SHOULD look like?
5.
How should the items you collected as evidence be stored in your evidence
room. Describe any environmental conditions or concerns for your evidence
room (digital evidence can require some unique considerations!), as well any
security procedures that should be in place.
Project Requirements:
- Each questions should be answered with a minimum of
1-2 paragraphs, so do your research, be specific, be detailed, and
demonstrate your knowledge; - Answers to the above questions should be submitted in a
single document (.DOC/.DOCX, .RTF, or .PDF), with answers separated so as
to make it clear which question is being answered; - The submission should have a cover page, including
course number, course title, title of paper, student’s name, date of
submission; - Format: 12-point font, double-space, one-inch margins;
- It is mandatory that you do some research, and utilize
outside resources! References page: APA citation style (seehttpsss://owl.english.purdue.edu/owl/resource/560/01/ for help).
