As you can see this assignment is about “investigating” a case. There is no right and wrong answer to this investigation. However, to assist you with the investigation some questions have been created for you to use as a guide while you create a complete expert witness report. Remember, you not only have to identify the evidence concerning the crime, but must tie the image back to the suspects showing that the image came from which computer. Please note: -there isn’t any disc Encryption like BitLocker. You can safely assume that the Chain of custody were maintained.There is a Discussion Board forum, I enjoy seeing students develop their skills in critical thinking and the expression of their own ideas. Feel free to discuss your thoughts without divulging your findings.While you prepare your Expert Witness Report, trying to find answer to these questions may help you to lead to write a conclusive report : NOTE: Your report must be an expert witness report, and NOT just a list of answered questions)In your report, you should try to find answer the following questions: What is the first step you have taken to analyze the imageWhat did you find in the image:What file system was installed on the hard drive, how many volume?Which operating system was installed on the computer?How many user accounts existed on the computer?Which computer did this image come from? Any indicator that it’s a VM?What actions did you take to analyze the artifacts you have found in the image/computer? (While many files in computer are irrelevant to case, how did you search for an artifacts/interesting files in the huge pile of files?Can you describe the backgrounds of the people who used the computer? For example, Internet surfing habits, potential employers, known associates, etc.If there is any evidence related to the theft of gun? Why do you think so?a. Possibly Who was involved? Where do they live?b. Possible dates associated with the thefts?Are there any files related to this crime or another potential crime? Why did you think they are potential artifacts? What type of files are those? Any hidden file? Any Hidden data?Grading:This assignment is worth up to 50 points towards your final grade. For this assignment clear rubrics is not provided intentionally. Since the overall goal of this project is investigating a case, a step by step rubrics will kill the investigation. However, you will be assessed on the methods of your analysis and how your analysis helped you to turn you finding into evidences. To earn the maximum number of points, you should try to address (NOT just answer) the above questions in your report, keeping the points below in mindExplanation of the findings: What did you actually do to make the findings into an evidence? (‘I Opened the image’ is not considered an action because your forensic suite does that anyway )A time line of events. Extremely important – This will lead the investigation.A brief explanation of list of names of people involved. You need to be very careful with this part. Just because you find word ” Trex ” somewhere in the image, that does not prove that Trex is related to your case. You need to make it an evidence.Your personal verdict on whether the suspect is guilty or not, and why. (This is the Fun part, just concluding the case. Remember you are stepping into the Administration of Justice area and this is not a Forensic Analyst’s job) .Your analysis should NOT be more than 10-12 pages including the screen captures. Your analysis should be supported by appropriate screen captures! NO points will be given without appropriate screen capture of your analysis. All screen captures must accompany a date stamp. Inside the project report, if any screen capture is found without a date stamp, project won’t be graded.
