This course will give a fundamental foundation for students new to the digital forensics field, discussing, what digital forensics is, the methodologies used, key technical concepts, and the tools needed to perform examinations and media exploitation techniques. Students will examine various log files, and storage mediums associated with computers, and different operating systems including Windows and Linux. Syllabus |
|
This is a course designed as a graduate-level course which covers an introduction to digital forensics with a research perspective. The course will cover the fundamentals of the computer and network forensics and media exploitation techniques and introduces students to computer forensic software and hardware tools. Syllabus |
Additional Courses

Cybersecurity is not just a technical problem as it occurs in the context of humans and human society. CIS 5208, graduate level course will explore the implications of the cybersecurity in a much broader sense, including social, economic and legal aspects: for example, transformation of traditional expectations of privacy due to social networking and digital surveillance. Conversely, we will also explore how human factors affect cybersecurity in terms of usability of the technology, user psychology and social engineering threats. Syllabus |

This course offers an introduction to virtual private networks (VPNs) and firewalls for securing a network. Various network security-related issues are introduced and examined. Different types of VPNs for securing data in an organizational setup are discussed as well as the benefits and architecture of a VPN and how to implement a VPN. Other topics include the utility of firewalls in tackling security problems and the limitations of a firewall. In addition, instruction is also given on how to construct, configure, and administer a firewall and the functionality of a firewall Syllabus |
