Program points of pride
Our program emphasizes a "try-it-by-hand" approach. We teach the fundamental concepts of computer forensics in a tool-independent manner.
Beginning with foundation concepts such as file system structures, MAC times, and forensic auditing, the content and difficulty level of this track advances rapidly. You will learn more than just how to use a tool; you will be able to show how the tool is able to recover data, find the smoking gun, and you will be able to present your data in a format that can be easily understood by others. You'll learn how and when to use various tools in the computer forensics industry.
