Hi all,
Sorry to burden you all with my assignment again, however I thought if
anyone else was drafting talks or writing their own document
some of this may come in handy. When I finish my assignment on Friday I
will make it available. I have directed this document to
people outside the field as my experience is limited and this has been what
most other sites focus on.
My main question would be with the broad topics I have listed below, are
there any, which people believe do not effect the work of
computer forensics. The other question would be is there anything major I
have left out. I have a large amount of research material so I will be
backing these items up with examples.
