This memorandum provides guidance on writing effective memos. It recommends introducing the subject and main point of a memo, unless readers may disagree or be skeptical, in which case the problem should be stated first followed by supporting points. Headings should divide content and signal topic shifts. Related information under headings can make headings more general, but clarity is important. Memos should build relationships, encourage action, solicit feedback, or indicate next steps. Headers on additional pages should identify the recipient, page number, and date.

1. MEMORANDUM
TO:
First Name Last Name, Title/Position
FROM:
First Name Last Name, Title/Position
DATE:
Date Sent
SUBJECT:
Purpose of Memo Clearly Stated
The introductory paragraph, or opening, should identify the
subject, its relevance to your readers, and often the main point
of the message. Intro paragraphs also help when the reader is
not familiar with the subject or the background of the problem.
Furthermore, longer or complex subjects benefit most from
more thorough introductions.
WARNING: do not state the main point first when (1) readers
are likely to be highly skeptical or (2) key readers, such as
managers or clients, may disagree with your position. In those
cases, a more persuasive tactic is to state the problem or issue
first, then present the specific points supporting your final
recommendation. Also, use the opening to establish an
appropriate tone that achieves your purpose. Audience
influences tone.
Heading
Headings divide material into manageable segments; call
attention to main topics; and signal a shift in a topic.
Left aligned, this paragraph is not spaced from the Heading.
This paragraph also provides details and facts that support and
explain the Heading in which it is attached. Please be specific
and develop your thoughts to avoid confusion or
misinterpretation.

2. Heading
The information under each Heading is also related, so the more
information you include the more general the heading can
become, but be please be careful. If you have enough related
information or ideas for two or three different headings, then
use two or three different headings.
As you group related ideas, consider the following questions: Is
the time sequence among items important? If so, organize them
chronologically. Do you need to compare the features of one
item with those of one or more other items? Organize
accordingly. Should you organize items by decreasing order of
importance or by increasing order of importance? Assemble,
arrange, add, delete, and move your ideas until you feel you
have the best or most persuasive organization.
Close your document with a sentence or short paragraph that
does one of the following (you can use lists and bullets in
memos, too):
· Builds positive relationships with readers
· Encourages colleagues and employees (to act or collaborate or
accept idea/proposal)
· Solicits feedback or the continuation of a discussion
· Lets recipients know what you will do or what you expect of
them and, if necessary, when an assignment is due.
Make sure to have at least two lines on the second page to
justify having an additional page. If necessary, adjust your
margins to fit one outstanding line onto the first page.
For additional pages, please provide the following information
in the Header in one of two ways:
Enter the recipient’s name (or a shortened version of the

3. Subject title if there is more than one recipient), page number,
and date you send the memo.
Format 1: Left Aligned in the Header starting on second page
(not on first page)
Full Name or Shortened Subject Line
Page (#)
Date
Format 2: Across the header
Name or Shortened Subject
2
Date
NOTE: I could not attain this Header information because I used
Word 2003 and it did not cooperate. To achieve this header in
newer versions of Word, please click Header-Footer and
click/check the “Different First Page” box.
Lab 2: Online-Based Forensics
You recently began a new position as a member of a large
manufacturing firm’s computer incident response team (CIRT).
Your role is to investigate threats that are identified by the
forensic investigators in their forensic analysis of compromised
devices.
Your Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) was informed
of a campaign affecting others in your industry on July 23,
2015. Upon examination of some of the equipment connected to
your corporate network your CIRT has identified two suspicious
files. It is your job to put together a write-up for the CISO that
discusses your investigation of the following information. The
write-up should be approximately 500 words and include

4. screenshots and graphics.
Two suspicious files have been identified:
· Filename: trfg.exe, MD5: 322fcf1b134fef1bae52fbd80a373ede
· Filename: furjhf83.jar, MD5:
856de08a947a40e00ea7ed66b8e02c53
Based on the tools I discussed in the lecture please address the
following questions. Note: You are NOT allowed to collaborate
on this lab.
1. When were these files first identified in the wild?
2. Have these files been used recently?
3. Based on the time period that they were discovered now and
from the data you have found online, can we say anything about
the threat actors that we may be dealing with?
4. Are these two files related to each other?
5. Are these files possibly part of a larger campaign?
a. If yes, which ones?
6. Are there other files (hashes or filenames) that are related to
these two files?
7. Can we link any email addresses to the provided files or other
files that you have determined to be related to these files?
8. Given what you have uncovered, what do you think your next
steps should be?
