As the lead for a digital forensics team you are now being asked by the forensics manager to give a training session on how to acquire digital evidence. The session must be given to your junior forensics team. In this training session, you will need to demonstrate how to acquire digital evidence without causing alteration through the use of both hardware and software write blocking and the preferred technology for this write blocking. In addition, the training must demonstrate how investigators perform detailed analysis of the evidence collected from formatted media, deleted files, allocated space, swap space, slack space, encrypted space, and unallocated space. These two demonstration areas are the most critical steps for junior investigators if they are to both completely understand the evidence acquisition process and places where suspect data may hide on formatted media. Provide the following in a 5–7 slide PowerPoint presentation: The presentation should be a minimum of 5–7 PowerPoint slides in length including speaker’s notes (250 words minimum), not including the title and reference slides and neatly formatted.

Title: Digital Evidence Acquisition Training

Slide 1: Introduction
– Welcome and Introduction to Digital Evidence Acquisition Training
– Presenter name and role as lead of the digital forensics team

Slide 2: Importance of Acquiring Digital Evidence
– Relevance of digital evidence in investigations
– How digital evidence can be crucial in solving cases
– Demonstrate the need for proper acquisition techniques

Slide 3: Hardware Write Blocking
– Definition and purpose of hardware write blocking
– Explanation of how hardware write blocking prevents alterations during evidence acquisition
– Example of hardware write blocking device (e.g., Tableau Write Blocker)

Slide 4: Software Write Blocking
– Definition and purpose of software write blocking
– Explanation of how software write blocking prevents alterations during evidence acquisition
– Example of software write blocking tool (e.g., AccessData FTK Imager)

Slide 5: Preferred Technology for Write Blocking
– Rationale for choosing Tableau Write Blocker as the preferred technology
– Discussion of its features, reliability, and compatibility with different storage devices
– Cost-effectiveness and widespread usage in the forensic community

Slide 6: Analysis of Evidence
– Overview of different types of evidence that can be recovered from various storage areas
– Formatted media
– Deleted files
– Allocated space
– Swap space
– Slack space
– Encrypted space
– Unallocated space

Slide 7: Investigating Formatted Media
– Explanation of how investigators can recover evidence from formatted media
– Discussion of techniques and tools used to examine the file structures and identify recoverable data

Slide 8: Investigating Deleted Files
– Explanation of how investigators can recover evidence from deleted files
– Discussion of techniques and tools used to reconstruct deleted files and their metadata

Slide 9: Investigating Allocated Space
– Explanation of how investigators can analyze evidence in allocated space
– Discussion of techniques and tools used to access and interpret active file data

Slide 10: Investigating Swap Space, Slack Space, and Encrypted Space
– Explanation of how investigators can extract evidence from swap space, slack space, and encrypted space
– Discussion of techniques and tools used to access and analyze these areas

Slide 11: Investigating Unallocated Space
– Explanation of how investigators can uncover hidden evidence in unallocated space
– Discussion of techniques and tools used to recover deleted or overwritten data

Slide 12: Conclusion
– Summary of key points covered in the training session
– Encouragement for junior investigators to apply the knowledge gained in their future work

Slide 13: References
– List of references used in the presentation

Note: The slides are just a visual aid and should be supported by detailed speaker’s notes that provide comprehensive information and guidance to the junior forensics team members. The speaker’s notes should expand on the points mentioned in the slide titles, providing additional context, examples, and practical instructions for effective digital evidence acquisition and analysis.
