CSA 401 - MAC (Apple) Forensics

(3 credits)

Apple is increasing its market share in both the private and commercial/corporate marketplace. This course expands the skill-set and knowledge base of students who have taken Digital Forensics I and Digital Forensics II, both of which addressed the Windows operating system, and concentrates on identifying Apple artifacts and the tools and methodologies used to find, extract, decode and interpret the data stored on an Apple device from a forensic practitioner’s perspective. Students will learn best practices and use hands-on exercises to demonstrate and reinforce their understanding and improve their ability to respond effectively to a wider range of forensic incidences. Prerequisite(s): CSA 202. Spring (alternate years).
