Today's Smoking Gun: An Introduction to Digital Evidence
John Sammons, Assistant Professor, Marshall University
Are you leaving evidence behind? Computers are everywhere and as such, they need to be considered as a vital source of potential evidence. Valuable digital evidence may be discovered in nearly any case, not just child pornography and identity theft. Homicide, robbery, drug violations are just a few of the cases that could be solved with digital evidence.
In this course learn the fundamentals of digital evidence, how it's different, how it's collected and how it could benefit your investigations.
Internet Investigations
Josh Brunty
Marshall University Forensic Science Center
Investigating a cybercrime and/or cybercriminal can be one of the most complex tasks facing the law enforcement professional today and requires a multidisciplinary approach supported by technical expertise that was once not needed with traditional crime. This session will focus on investigations and operations centered on the use of the internet and its many communities that are being exploited for criminal activity.
This session will teach investigators how to retrieve and/or extract such evidence using a variety of tools and techniques.
These two classes have already been submitted and approved for LET credit (4 hrs per).
