Lab 6 Overview

In this lab you will search for and recover Internet usage information from one or more forensic images and one or more packet capture (PCAP) files as provided by your instructor. Your focus should be upon finding and documenting answers to the case questions as provided in the lab scenario. Your presentation of your findings should be succinct. This means that you will need to apply your best judgment as to which information should be included in your report and which information should be omitted.

Note: in your reports and tables you should clearly identify which items were found in which evidence files.
