Digital Forensics

Digital Forensics Presentations

Objective:

Students will be able to understand the basics of digital forensics, its importance, and the different areas within the field. They will present their findings to the class and participate in an interactive activity to reinforce their knowledge.

Materials Needed:

Presentation slides (PowerPoint/Google Slides)
Internet access for the activity (Quizizz, Kahoot, or CyberChef)
A timer

My outline below is a GENERAL guide:

Yours will be specific to the topic you picked.
On my example, I put a mixture of different areas.
YOU MUST ONLY use information related to your area you picked.
You can have more slides than me.
You can use any presentation software.

Lesson Outline

1. Introduction (3 minutes)

Slide 1: Definition of Digital Forensics - Explain what digital forensics is and its importance in cybersecurity, law enforcement, and legal proceedings.
Slide 2: Key Concepts - Mention concepts such as data acquisition, analysis, and preservation.

2. Overview of Areas in Digital Forensics (8 minutes)

Slide 3: Computer Forensics - Discuss the investigation of computer systems to find evidence of cybercrimes or policy violations.
Slide 4: Network Forensics - Describe how network data is captured and analyzed to identify security breaches or unauthorized access.
Slide 5: Mobile Device Forensics - Explain how mobile devices are examined to recover call logs, messages, and application data.
Slide 6: Cloud Forensics - Discuss the complexities of investigating data stored in cloud environments.
Slide 7: Multimedia Forensics - Explain the process of analyzing audio, video, and image files to detect tampering or gather evidence.
Slide 8: Emerging Areas - Mention IoT (Internet of Things) forensics and drone forensics as evolving fields.

3. Interactive Activity (4-5 minutes)

Use CyberChef to demonstrate a simple digital forensics task. For example:

Give students a sample of "encrypted" data and show them how to decrypt it using CyberChef.
Explain how such tools are used in real-world scenarios to analyze data.

Alternatively, create a Kahoot or Quizizz quiz on the areas of digital forensics you discussed, allowing students to apply what they've learned in a fun, competitive way.

4. Conclusion and Q&A (2 minutes)

Summarize the main points and answer any questions from the students.
