Assignment, Law Cybercrime and Digital Evidence

Project description
The individual extra credit project is worth up to 20 points. Please note that the last day to submit this project is listed on Oncourse. However, I am posting the creteria now to let everyone know about it. You can submit the project anytime you want up to the due date.
Each student must do this project by themselves. You cannot use any content created by any other student in this class or any other class. Also, you cannot reuse any slides or content prepared by a student taking this class in a prior semester.
This project must be submitted through Oncourse.
1. Prepare five powerpoint slides demonstrating or describing an example of computer forensic analysis or digital evidence. The proposed audience would be a juror with average computer knowledge. You should use movement, words and pictures in the slides for added impact to explain the content. In class, I have shown several example of movement in slides showing different ideas. I also discussed the creation of exhibits in a prior class, including how to identify a good set of exhibits.
2. The key to a good powerpoint slide is to mix accurate content with simple pictures and information. Images work better than lots of words. You can make up an example of forensic analysis to use for your project if you choose to show information about computer forensic analysis. For example, you might create slides showing any of the following, among others: 1) how GPS information can exist in the metadata of an image file; 2) how email travels through the internet; 3) how con artists might research a victim; or 4) how to read an index.dat file to extract and then analyze useful information. These are just a very few examples of what you might show. Be creative.
3. Feel free to ask me if you have an intereting idea you want to illustrate in powerpoint slides.
4. You must attach the working powerpoint slides to your submission.
5. If you submit your results before the last class, then I might use your slides in class if they are particularly notable.
6. Finally, you must submit a three page explaination of your submission. It should describe what you are trying to show and explain the source of your example or information. This should also be submitted through Oncourse.
A good submission may receive up to 15 points. An excellent submission may receive up to 20 points. CLICK HERE FOR MORE ON THIS TOPIC
