This module aims to build learners' capacity to conduct cybercrime investigations. It introduces the learner to digital forensics and techniques for conducting forensic examinations. The module also enables learners to examine digital evidence, including data acquisition and identification analysis and how digital evidence artefacts may enable intrusion investigation. To complement automated digital forensic tools, learners are introduced to base Python programming language, which can allow them to conduct forensic tasks such as simulation of attacks, evidence cloning, and port scanning.
