Hi I was wondering has anyone got any project ideas that I could do starting September in my final year at university. It can be something that someone wished they could did .
Any area in computer forensics is welcome. I like to have project ideas which doest involve programming as I not to keen to do any work involving programming code.
PM me with ideas that I can work on and work with you on the project to start in my final year at university.
any ideas welcome!!!!

Hmmm… not programming. Could be tricky!
One idea that pops to mind is a project about the vulnerability of data on hard drives and how easy it could be to retrieve users information from discarded drives, e.g. drives from eBay, private sellers, companies etc.
You may need to purchase or scrounge a few drives from various places, but then you can analyse them using whatever tools and see what personal information is on them, e.g. cookies for sites, usernames, passwords, account details (banking etc), check for personal docs that may have been deleted, browser history, all this good stuff and write some kind of report / findings showing the vulnerability of data that the average, home user can be open to when then sell / dispose of drives, even if they delete them / format them?
Just an idea… I'm sure people will come up with loads more, but trying to avoid programming is difficult.
Hi birch, I did a programming type project for my final year project but so of the guys did a research type final year project.
Possible things that come to mind would be;
how social networking sites and IM messages can help in the field of computer forensics relating to victimology.
should there be a law against anti-forensics?
Should the sentencing be stronger for the RIPA act or should we adopt France's policy of not having strong encryption?
Theres is lots of questions relating to computer forensics that you could try to answer, not everything has to be around programming and developing.

Develop a scientific framework for investigating some type of application, test it on a sample, and evaluate.
The important thing is *not* the test, but the requirements. Think Daubert criteria or national equivalents – what should they mean if they are applied to, say, file erasers like CCleaner? Or P2P applications?
if I do a project which involves programming is there one which will provide less hassle with writing code. and what best language to write in.
if not is there anymore non programming exciting projects I could undertake.
