CFOR 250 Computer Network Forensic Technology

This course will cover the computer forensics examination process in a network environment. The Open Systems Interconnection (OSI) model, TCP/IP model, and IP addressing will be discussed along with how these layered approaches relate to the computer forensics examination process. Students will determine how various network devices such as servers, hubs, switches, and routers create log files that can be used for forensic examination. Students will examine various log files, port scans, packet sniffers, etc., from network devices for computer forensic analysis. Students will have hands-on experience with actual computer networks in the lab using various forensics tools and devices.
