NOTICE OF RESEARCH SEMINAR
No: 2008. 6

Date: 27 August 2008
Time: 12h30 – 14h00
Venue: Leslie Commerce Building, Upper Campus, Room 6.14
Speaker: Mr Adrie Stander

Topic: "I know what you did last summer! - an introduction to the technical side of Computer Forensics"

ABSTRACT

With the enormous growth of computer and related technological crimes over the last few years, it has become extremely important to develop measures in order to prosecute perpetrators. This seminar will aim to introduce many of the techniques used by skilled investigators to collect evidence and build a case that can stand up in court. Due to the highly complex nature of such crimes, a presentation of this kind can only act as an introduction, but will aim to give a good overview of what is possible with the latest technologies. Due to time constraints only a demonstration of the more important techniques used will be given, based on a hypothetical case that was assembled from a number of real life cases. Even though the presentation is of a technical nature, it will be easy to understand by people with little or no technical background.
