Task 2: Case Project
A bank has hired you to investigate employee fraud. The bank uses four
20TB servers on a LAN. You are permitted to talk to the network
administrator, who is familiar with where the data is stored. What
strategies should you use? Which acquisition method should you use?
Following aspects are the minimum requirements in this project:
What tools listed in the text book are available?
How do you plan to acquire the data? Why will you choose a certain
acquisition method?
What diplomatic strategies should you use with the network
administrator?
What privacy issues might be a concern with bank records (bank
account numbers, customer names, etc.)?
How do you plan to validate the data after acquiring it?
Deliverable: Write a 300-500 words report outlining the problems you
expect to encounter, explaining how to rectify them, and describing your
solution. Be sure to address any customer privacy issues.
Task 3: Research Project
To continue your learning in digital forensics, you should research new
tools and methods often. For this project, search for the user manuals for
VirtualBox and ProDiscover. Write a guide on how to load a VHD file
converted from a ProDiscover.eve image file into VirtualBox.
(Nelson, Phillips, & Steuart 2015)
Deliverable: A guide not more than 500 words.
Rationale
This assessment task covers digital crime, forensic process and
procedures, data acquisition and validation, e-evidence, e-discovery tools
