Richard Curtis IT/282 December 14, 2014 Anita Tierney Scenario 1 [As a support technician for a small company, your job is to support the company’s employees and personal computers (PCs). Ben, a coworker, approaches you with a problem. For some reason, the Microsoft® Windows® 7 operating system is not booting correctly on his computer. Ben is worried because he has many important data files in several locations on the hard drive, but he does not know which files are located in which folders. Ben is also worried about losing his saved e-mail addresses, individual e-mails, and favorite links in the Microsoft® Internet Explorer® browser. You attempt every method you know to recover the information on Ben’s computer, but nothing works. …show more content…
Shut down your computer 2. Turn your computer back on, and hit the “F8” key. This will restart your computer in ‘Safe Mode’. 3. Now click the “ENTER” key on your keyboard, on your computer is operating in ‘Safe Mode’. At this point, I would attempt to recover all of the information from the system, and place it on an external media mass storage device, like a flash drive, or external hard drive. If the system is damaged to the point that it would not start up, or boot, I would remove the hard drive from the computer, and install it on a separate computer as the secondary hard drive. Doing this means that the hard drive does not need to start up, but will only work if the filing system on the hard drive is intact, thus allowing the information to be removed. To disconnect, and reconnect the hard drive: 1. Turn the power off. 2. Open the case to your computer. NOTE: Before putting your hands inside your computer, make sure that you are grounded. You can do this by buying an ‘Anti-Static’ wrist band that connects to your computer from the

The first and most important step in the entire process for collecting evidence is to document the scene. It is extremely critical that an investigator capture as accurate a depiction of a crime scene as possible (Solomon, Rudolph, Tittel, Broom, & Barrett, 2011). This can be accomplished in a number of ways. These include taking a photograph of the scene to preserve the original image of the scene for a judge and jury. Investigators can also take images of a computer system. It is necessary to take hash images of volatile data first as volatile data relies on a constant flow of electricity to keep in system memory. Things that are considered volatile are registers, the system casche, routing tables, kernel statistics, memory, temporary file systems, disks and archived media (Soloman, Rudolph, Tittel, Broom, & Barrett, 2011). The first thing an investigator s...

Well, Before anything else, here is a few names of components that need to be known to not be completely lost. The CPU(Central Processing Unit) (It processes everything from basic instructions to complex functions.) (Techterms.com). The Hard drive (the location of all the computer’s folders, files, and information, saved magnetically so even if turned off it’ll all stay saved). The RAM (Random Access Memory) (The more RAM your computer has, the more data can be loaded from the hard drive into the RAM, which can effectively speed up your computer.)(Techterms.com), The OS (Operating System) (just what it sounds like, this is the system that works the computer, as in Windows, Linux, and Apple OS.) The Graphics card (helps the CPU by processing the graphics portion of what the CPU has to process). The Disk Drive( this is the CD,DVD, or Blu-Ray driver that is installed to use CD’s DVD’s and or Blu-Ray disks.) The last major term to know is the Motherboard ...
The best way to navigate an issue like this would be to do everything that you can to minimize the amount of damage that takes place. I believe that the easiest way to do this would be to walk away from this opportunity and to continue living on the outside. As I am safely cocooned in my machine, I couldn’t live knowing that my family was above-ground fighting for their lives as I luxuriate in the safety and security of my position. I would rather take my chances in the real world, than ever have to choose between saving my own life, and abandoning my family.
On 5 October 2009, computer equipment from a network data closet was stolen from BCBST. The items stolen were 57 unencrypted hard drives which contained over 300,000 video recording and over one million audio recordings. According to Whitman & Mattord (2010), confidentiality, integrity, and availability makes up the C.I.A triangle which is the basis of Committee on National Security model for information security, an industrial standard, (Whitman & Mattord, 2010). Confidentiality can be a synonym for encryption but also means only the people with the correct permission can access the information. One of the major security issue is the hard drives were not encrypted. The hard drives should be encrypted to prevent people from reading the information the computer. Software can be purchased which will encrypt files on hard drive with such as Folder Lock, SensiGuard, Secure IT, and more. There are open source encrypting software which are free for use which could have been used. If the hard drives were not needed, the data should hav...
With a price tag of $70,000 dollars upfront is a lot to spend. We could buy better hardware with this money or even invest into further development of our products. I would hesitate to even put up that kind of money if this was my company. But this is just an investment like any other. In the long run we are covered for a long time. We don’t have to invest any more money for our employees to be able to get a hold of their stuff. If for whatever reason their hard drive crashed and its beyond fixable we can just restore their stuff on to another hard drive and have them boot and pretend like nothing ever
What did they do ? Before we talk about it any further, we have to know some definitions that we use in digital forensics and digital evidence, not only two of them but the others too. This chapter will explain about it . Before we talk about it any further, we have to know the definition of what we are talking about. In the introduction we already know what digital forensic and digital evidence shortly are. In this chapter, we will more explore what they are, and some state that we found when we search about digital forensic and digital evidence. Computer forensics is a broad field and applied to the handling of crimes related to information technology. The goal of computer forensic is to securing and analyzing digital

(Attention Getter) Who here believes they know about computers? Well I am sure that with only the exception of a select few in this building most of you could not even tell me what processor is inside your computer, much less be able to repair your computer after a small virus attack.
Losing your memories and files can be heart wrenching to encounter. Most of the time, those memories are loss forever. Some people have the most important events saved to their computer. In some cases, many individuals have their wedding photos, videos of their child’s first steps or first words, all saved to their hard drive. Parting with theses precious mementos can be hard to deal with. However, with the invention of backup devices, you no longer have to part ways with your precious videos, pictures or files. Theses items can be saved stored directly on the device and put away for safekeeping. This is very beneficial to have, in case you...
...ntial information from a user. Luckily, there are reliable ways of defending against them. The most reliable way is to install strong security software that has the capacity to defend against the multifaceted forms of threats. Avoiding P2P file sharing sites and scanning email attachments before downloading them are also a surefire way of protecting a computer against malware threats. Basic acts like using an updated browser and allowing Windows updates to install and update themselves are also necessary to keep a machine safe. Furthermore, checking validity of individual website addresses and installing authenticated software can also help a computer user remain safe from potential data theft and possible damage of useful programs. It may also pay good dividends to backup files. In case of a lethal malware attack, backed-up files can always be recovered easily.
The Database Management System (DBMS) is software that enables the users to define, create, maintain and control the access to the database. It is a software that interact with the user’s applications programs and it database. Meanwhile, information retrieval system is a system that involved the activity that the systems obtain the information. The obtaining information action need the information from it resources.
