Abstract

The pervasiveness of information technology and the ever-increasing dependence of society on the availability of computers and network systems present a new frontier for business enterprises and law enforcement agencies. Attacks on these systems become an everyday occurrence. As such, every organization should assume responsibility in establishing a reasonably secure system to protect its own interests as well as those of its customers. And as computer crime steadily grows, so does the need for computer security professionals trained in gathering, correlating and analyzing digital forensic evidence. This paper presents the various digital forensics laboratory projects that are designed to be implemented in a controlled Computer Security and Forensic Analysis (CSFA) laboratory. The principal objective of the projects is to provide future computer security professionals the necessary hands-on training in digital forensics investigation.
