The overall aim of the unit is to enable the students to gain an understanding, what computer forensics entails and how it is carried out, what technical tools can be used, and what constraints are imposed by legal considerations. To this purpose, students analyze various scenarios, choose tools relevant to the investigations, and practically carry out forensic tests. The structure of various operating and file systems and their impact on the choice of forensic procedures is an essential part of the course.
