Scripting for Digital Forensic
The fast pace of technology change can create a lag between the release of new digital products and the development of commercial forensic analysis tools. This course will equip students with the ability to understand and use scripting languages such as Python as a complement to or in place of proprietary tools for the forensic analysis of data. Prior programming experience is not required for this course but will be helpful. Pre-course review of basic Python fundamentals is recommended.
