Individuals must strive to keep learning and growing their skills as they help combat cybercrime throughout the world. This study attempts to establish a method of evaluating conceptual expertise in computer forensics to help indicate whether or not an individual understands the five basic phases of computer forensics: preparation, seizure of evidence, acquisition of data, analysis of data, and reporting the findings of the analysis. A survey was presented to a university class of 30 students taking a computer forensics course and as well as posted online asking computer forensics professionals to participate in the survey. Results show that novices that were enrolled in a computer forensics course were able to identify the phases of computer forensics more readily than professionals 2021-06-14T07:00:00Z text application/pdf https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/etd/9131 https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=10140&context=etd https://lib.byu.edu/about/copyright/ Theses and Dissertations BYU ScholarsArchive digital forensics computer forensics conceptual expertise Engineering |
