Material Detail

A 16-episode video series that follows the chapters of Nelson, Phillips, Steuart and Wilson, Guide to Computer Forensics and Investigations (7th ed., Cengage, 2025). Topics include setting up a forensic lab and working with law enforcement, data acquisition and imaging, analysis of Windows, Linux, macOS and mobile systems, graphics files, email, malware, and writing forensic reports and testifying in court. Episodes name the tools students meet in lab work, such as Autopsy, FTK, Magnet AXIOM, WinHex, ExifTool, Sleuth Kit and Cellebrite. Possible learning goals: describe a defensible acquisition and chain-of-custody process, choose tools for a given type of evidence, and structure a forensic report. Likely users: instructors who want pre-class or review material for a digital forensics course, and students studying on their own. Produced by Dr. Joseph H. Schuessler, Tarleton State University, with the assistance of Google's NotebookLM. It is a companion to the textbook, not a replacement for it.
