Computer forensic analysis is the application of scientific and analytical techniques to identify, preserve, analyse and present data that is valid in legal proceedings. This subject has a strong practical component. It will begin with an introduction to computer forensics, explaining key concepts. Next, the fundamentals and methodologies of forensic analysis will be studied from a generic point of view and applicable to new cases, but also specific examples based on real cases will be studied. In the laboratory practicals, students will learn how to use different forensic analysis tools and will carry out practices simulating real problems.
