Kommentar/Beschreibung

Digital forensics deals with the identification, securing and analysis of digital evidence for use in legal proceedings. The starting point in each case is the suspicion of a computer crime or an offense that has been committed with the help of digital devices. The lecture provides a sound introduction to the basic concepts, methods and legal framework of digital forensics.

After a brief introduction to forensics and its importance, the focus will be on technical aspects: What types of digital traces are there, how are they created and how can they be classified? Which storage media and file systems are relevant and how can data be forensically secured?

A central component of the lecture is the technical analysis of digital evidence. In addition to methods for analyzing file systems, timestamps and other metadata are also considered in detail.

Furthermore, the legal framework relevant to digital forensics is considered. The role of the expert witness is also explained, particularly with regard to court-proof documentation and communication of forensic findings.

In the exercise, the topics of the lecture are practiced in the context of case studies
