Course details
This course introduces students to sound forensic evidence acquisition techniques from the most common digital devices found today. From laptop/desktop computers, mobile phones, tablets, Raid arrays, USB drives, each device type often requires a unique combination of skills, techniques and forensic tools to capture a forensic image that can be used for evidentiary purposes. Also, the course offers a brief introduction into data recovery methods and techniques, which would assist the future investigator in extracting data from a non-functioning digital device. This course may be eligible for students to receive funding through the StrongerBC Future Skills Grant at www.bcit.ca/financial-aid/strongerbc-future-skills-grant.
