Title of Talk:  OVERVIEW OF DIGITAL FORENSICS

ABSTRACT:

Following A Tasty Case
Natasha Romanov (former secret agent) has retired and opened a new Russian Tea Room on Lubyanka Square in Moscow. However, her employee Nick Ulyanov has vanished and may have stolen her award-winning menu. The last he was seen; he was hovering near the computer with a flash drive in his hand. Natasha suspects that Nick copied her award-winning menu to the flash drive and plans to open his own Tea Room in Saint Petersburg with his own version of Natasha’s award-winning menu. Let’s follow Officers Andrew and Sasha as they use digital forensics to try to solve the mystery of the missing Menu. After we finish the case we will discuss some of the activities in the Computer Forensics Tool Testing program and related projects.
