Forensics and Investigations, 6/e, Nelson, Phillips, & Steuart, 2019)
1. Hands-on Project 4-3, Examining M57 Patent Case (8 Marks)
In this project, you are examining 'Terry's work USB' to find if Terry has been involved in anything
illicit or against company policy. While your main focus will be investigating any images in the
USB, you also should look if there is any other suspicious material/activity recorded on the USB.
Write a report with the investigation screenshots and explain the importance of the files you
examined and how might they affect the patent case. While providing screenshots of your work,
include a short description of the information that is given in the screenshot. For example, if you
did a keyword search to find any images in the USB and you got results, describe what was your
search term. What did you find as a search result? With the screenshots of your work,
show/include your i2 login and/or username at least in one of the screenshots as proof of your
own work.
