Abstract

Digital forensics capability is a critical function in any information security program but the cost of the necessary technology and tools can be a barrier to its presentation in the undergraduate curriculum. This paper discusses how Open Source tools can be used to provide students with a realistic introduction to and experience in the digital forensics process.
