Computer Forensics I
Jim Chen
(also Trang Nguyen & Laura R. Ellsworth)
Crafted by The Dark Side of The Moon
using public files and self-authored.
Evidence Image
Note the date and time of the folders created for the forensic analysis.
File Signatures
Students use file signature analysis to identify the file type/extension.
Note the file type/extension – dot.xyz.
Hacking and Malware
Students identify the type of attack (automated – note the upload date/time).
The compromised host becomes a distribution point for KPorn and Malware.
Students are warned before hand about bare skin content in the KPorn folder.
KPorn Exposed
You can’t say that I didn’t warn you before hand (clue?) about the bare skin.
King Prawn – What do you expect?
Deleted and Secure Erase
Students recover deleted files.
Delete: Normal, secure erase, duplicate name, duplicate name content differs.
Spoofed eMail
Ok Bill…. Your yatch or mine?
Damaged File Header
Students reconstruct damage file header to recover the evidence.
Hidden Data and Metadata
Students examine files for hidden data.
Example: The original TVShow.mp3 had been extended with one minute of
silence to simulate the ending before playing the hidden audio message.
